About Shambala Estate
Shambala Estate is a private garden venue on Beacon Road at Tamborine Mountain, spread over five acres of lawns, fountains and tropical planting. It is built around weddings, and its team has been hosting them for more than 20 years. Ceremonies can take place in four settings. The Chapel is a large non-denominational building with a covered portico, the Gazebo sits in open garden, and the Atrium and Waterfall Grotto offer a courtyard and a sheltered rock setting. The Galaxy Ballroom is the main reception room, seating 150 or holding 300 standing and 200 theatre style. Inside you get chandeliers, a galaxy-light ceiling, a light-up dance floor, a stage, a fireplace, a bar and a DJ and PA system. The room also takes corporate events and retreats. The Waterfall Pavilion is smaller, at 60 seated or 100 standing. Many of its sides open in good weather, and it can host either a full reception or drinks before dinner in the ballroom. Catering comes through the estate's partner, In Season Catering, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. The venue is licensed and supplies all the drinks, so BYO is not available. Five coordinators work together on each wedding and run the timing on the day. Four cottages in the gardens can sleep the couple and close family, by arrangement.
