About Flames of the Forest
Flames of the Forest is a private rainforest event venue in the Mowbray Valley just south of Port Douglas, between the Mowbray and Daintree national parks. A mountain creek runs through the site, and after dark the trees are lit by candelabras, forest lights and flame torches. The main event space is a permanent 20m by 20m marquee lined with black silk and hung with a Swarovski crystal chandelier. Black-covered tables and chairs are on hand for a sit-down dinner. Under the marquee the venue seats 200 or takes 350 cocktail style, and extra marquees can be added for bigger groups. The open site can take up to 850 guests, and the team has also hosted dinners for just three. Events are fully private when the venue is booked exclusively, and there are no noise restrictions. A dance floor is sized to the group, a standard PA comes with every event package, and a fire pit can be set up for after dinner. Menus are tropical-inspired, from cocktail food to banquets and three-course dinners, served with Australian wines and drinks. The venue can also be hired dry if you'd rather bring your own food and drinks. There's no parking or mobile reception on site, so the team organises coach transfers door to door. Entertainment options include live bands, DJs, opera singers, Kuku Yalanji Dreamtime stories, fire trails and pyrotechnics.
