Simply the best wedding venue around and good value for moneySimply the best wedding venue around and good value for money
We have been blown away by the support and help we got from Carinda and staff at Forrester Park. A beautiful location with great indoor and outdoor spaces that were decorated beautifully by Entourage. I would recommend this venue for the value for money, the grounds, the indoor space and the wonderful staff. Top class.

“Katie and her staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and everybody was happy. From start to finish Katie was on hand to answer any questions and in the evening Leo was equally amazing. There are not enough words of thanks. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was so relaxed. Every guest said how lovely it was and how amazing the staff were. I'm pretty sad that it’s all over now. But we will definitely be back for a visit. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making a stressful day a magical day and one we will remember forever.”“Katie and her staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and everybody was happy.

Truly magicalTruly magical
Our wedding was truly magical thanks to Katie and all the staff. Katie ensured everything went to plan and was always available to answer any questions. The food was amazing and we have had several comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food. The wine waiters were constantly topping up glasses at the meal and the whole dinner service was fantastic. Thank you to Katie and all the staff for an unforgettable day.Our wedding was truly magical thanks to Katie and all the staff.

So romanticSo romantic
Absolutely beautiful day, was a privilege to share it with Christopher and Mary. The food was on another level, so delicious and hot. The staff couldn’t have done more. The roast chicken was probably the best I have ever had. The setting was so romantic, the staff were amazing and it was just a perfect day from start to finish! Well done to all the staff at Forrester golf and country club, and congratulations to my lovely cousin and his bride.Absolutely beautiful day, was a privilege to share it with Christopher and Mary.
