The Forest Banquet Hall is a dramatic venue nestled below towering trees, with expansive rolling lawns. This venue lends itself perfectly to the chemistry required for a fairy tale wedding.

Our Forest Banquet Hall surrounded by tall trees in beautifully landscaped gardens and cascading ponds consists of 3 spaces. While ceremonies can be held amongst the tall trees of the Lily Pond Forest Chapel Amphitheatre, pre-reception drinks and canapés can be enjoyed on The Forest Piazza and sumptuous banquets can be hosted inside The Forest Banquet Hall with its dramatic high thatch roof.

The Lily Pond Pavilion is a seemingly floating room set on and adjacent to the largest of our ponds in landscaped gardens. The covered pavilion cantilevers over the ponds and one accesses the pavilion by walking across a 6-meter-long wooden bridge. The walk way to the ceremony area is very dramatic indeed. A broad wooden deck starts at the top of the hill, descending down to the ponds, with all eyes on the bride. Dramatic rock water features cascade with a steady cadence on the left and right of the stage, framed by an abundance of palms and tropical plants. This inspiring garden space has been designed in an amphitheater style with 3 terraces allowing easy views. With a Eucalyptus forest back drop, The Forest Lily Pond Pavilion is a magnificent, outdoor wedding chapel.

While the Lily Pond Pavilion with its garden amphitheater can seat up to 500 guests cinema style, the Forest Banquet hall can accommodate from 150 to 350 guests banquet style.
