Picnic Point Toowoomba

Capacity: Up to 400
From $90 a head

About

Overview & Vibe

Picnic Point sits on the escarpment at the edge of the Great Dividing Range in Toowoomba, looking out over the Lockyer Valley, ninety minutes’ scenic drive from Brisbane. Couples have married here for generations.

Setting & Style

The draw is the drop. Light-filled function rooms face straight out over the valley, and the Rose Garden ceremony space sits right on the escarpment edge, landscaped with manicured beds, lawns and roses, with the valley falling away behind the celebrant. Three reception rooms scale to the wedding: The Cellar upstairs by the restaurant seats fifty among the treetops; the Panorama Room suits eighty to a hundred and seventy with its own bar, canapé space and dance floor; and Grand Vista, the entire complex combined, takes a hundred and seventy to four hundred with room for the ceremony, pre-dinner drinks, dinner, dancing and a private bar all under one roof. Catering is made on premise.

Ideal For

Couples who want a valley view rather than a garden or a beach, at a venue that publishes its prices plainly and scales from fifty guests to four hundred.

The Need-to-Knows

Room hire is separate from catering: The Cellar $350, Panorama Room $750, Grand Vista $1,300.
The Rose Garden ceremony space is $400 and holds up to 100.
Sit-down catering runs $90 to $120 per head; cocktail and carvery buffet are both $115 with a 30-guest minimum.
The two-course option counts your wedding cake as dessert.
All reception packages include linen, chair covers, skirted bridal, cake and gift tables, a seating easel and a tea and coffee station.

Standout Feature

An escarpment-edge rose garden with the whole Lockyer Valley behind you, and a complex that can be booked entire for four hundred guests.
