Wedding Reception Venues in Kuranda & the Tablelands

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Across Kuranda & the Tablelands, reception venues fall into three groups. Kuranda offers a private rainforest property, Yungaburra pairs a heritage chapel with a country hotel, and Atherton has a large club hall and a pub function room.

Couples wanting a self-styled outdoor day lean to Kuranda or the Yungaburra chapel lawn; those wanting catering in-house lean to the hotels and the club.

The five reception options by locality:

Kuranda: The Billabong Kuranda has a deck at the water's edge, a lawn for marquees and a commercial kitchen.
Yungaburra: Yungaburra Chapel seats 120 for a ceremony with lawn receptions, and the Yungaburra Hotel offers garden ceremonies and private rooms.
Atherton: the club on the Kennedy Highway, Atherton International Club, has a hall for 230 diners and an evening deck for 70.
Also in that town, the Atherton Hotel on Main Street fits 15 to 300 in one adaptable room, with chef-designed menus.
None list a set price, so plan on quotes from each.
