FORGET ME NOT
The ultimate venue for couples seeking a large scale wedding that still caters for an intimate, unique atmosphere. It exists as a private working cattle farm and invites the inquisitive soul to discover a hidden waterfall and lush rainforest. Escape to an impressive landscape that is magical and in all parts romantic.
Positioned on a 100 acre private property in the hinterland, Forget Me Not is secluded however only a 10 minute drive from Byron Bay and neighbouring boutique town of Bangalow.
Prizewinning gardens and a spectacular lake filled with water lilies frame this luxe oasis. From these surrounds, your choice of ceremony spots are endless. The most common taking place under the shade of trees. There is no need to leave the venue for photos either. This will allow for more time spent with your friends and family and the diverse setting, bathed in natural light, will provide you with the most beautiful photography.
The site, provided with a toilet block, can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests. Framing your tipi or marquee is the farm’s cattle, horses and the post and rail fence. As night falls, witness the mood change as light reflects off the lake and stars sparkle in a clear country sky.
For the smaller wedding, there is an undercover deck beside the homestead pool. This caters for 36 seated or 50 standing guests and is a fabulous setting for canapés.

WEDDING PLANNING OPTIONS
We know how overwhelming it is to plan a wedding. There’s so many elements that need to be decided on such as hire items, lighting, menus, floor plans, seating charts, on the day supplier schedule, supplier choices, transport, and styling just to name a few! That’s where we come in; to help ease the pressure, give you advice and look after all the logistics so you can enjoy your wedding journey in its entirety.
We have a range of different wedding planning packages dependant on your needs and budget. Once planned, one of our incredible wedding day coordinators will be there to run your day exactly as planned so it's executed flawlessly and to ease any stress on the day.
Month Out Coordination - This package is designed for couples who wish to do most of the wedding planning themselves but want to ensure everything runs as planned and there's no issues on the day.
Signature Planning Package - This option is designed for couples who would still like control over their wedding planning but would love assistance to look after all the finer details and logistics that can become overwhelming.
Full Planning Package - This option is perfect for those who purely want to be presented with information, answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to one person and then pay the invoice at each stage of completion. This is a great option if you are super busy and can’t commit much time to your planning, or perhaps based overseas and want the ease of having one point of contact.
CATERING OPTIONS
One of the most important elements of your wedding day will be the opportunity to enjoy exceptional food with your nearest and dearest in a beautiful setting.
We work with two of the region’s award winning caterers – Fig Tree Restaurant and Feast Events. They have catered over 1000 weddings in their time and their food and service is incredible!
Each wedding couple is invited to the Fig Tree Restaurant for a complimentary tasting dinner before their wedding day. This allows them to sample the food and service they will provide at Forget Me Not before the big day.
