Farm + Co Weddings sits on a 52-acre organic family farm in the heart of Cudgen in the Tweed Valley, just south of the Gold Coast border. It’s one of the most accessible rural wedding venues on the Tweed Coast — surrounded by sprawling pastures and scenic countryside, yet within easy reach of coastal accommodation for guests.

Farm & Co comfortably seats over 100 guests across the indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Chat to the team about the best layout for your guest number.

Each table seats up to 8 guests – we recommend 6 per table for the best dining experience.

We provide ample food — no one will leave hungry.

Our paddock-to-plate feasting menus are designed to be shared and enjoyed. Dishes are made from produce harvested daily from our farm, with seasonal menus that showcase what’s freshest right now. Portions are generous and the experience is abundant, not rushed.

We don’t hold formal wedding tastings, but you can dine at the Farm + Co Restaurant, Thursday – Sunday.

Book a table at our on-farm restaurant and experience the paddock-to-plate philosophy first-hand. It’s the best way to taste what your guests will enjoy – and to enjoy a lovely lunch date in the process.

A cake stand is not provided – couples provide their own cake stand.

Your cake supplier or stylist can usually assist with this. It’s worth confirming with your baker what stand they recommend to complement your cake design.

Please brief your suppliers, florist, and hire companies in advance so everyone is aware of this timeline.

We set up and pack down all equipment included in your venue package. External décor is the responsibility of your suppliers, family, or friends – or our team can do it for an additional fee.

If you’d like our staff to set up your personal decorations, just reach out to our planners for pricing and available options. It’s a great way to take the pressure off on the morning of your wedding.

Couples deal directly with their own vendors and suppliers.

We’re always here to answer questions about the venue itself or bump-in/out arrangements, and we’re happy to assist if anything comes up. Just get in touch.

Yes – a 3-piece band is permitted, with no electric guitars, drums, saxophone/trumpets or percussion instruments.

Acoustic trios, string quartets, jazz ensembles, and similar acts work beautifully in our space. Please discuss your entertainment plans with us if you’re unsure whether a specific act fits within these guidelines.

The booking fee balance is due approximately 30 days after your initial booking fee is paid.

Food and beverage costs are spread across four payments – three invoiced at booking, and one final balance due 14 days before your wedding.

The first three instalments have set due dates issued when you book. The fourth and final payment is invoiced once guest numbers are confirmed three weeks out from your event date.

Rose petals and white water soluble, bio-degradable confetti only. A clean-up fee applies.

As an organic, eco-conscious farm venue, we ask that all confetti be biodegradable. Synthetic confetti, glitter, or metallic foil confetti is not permitted. Please brief your guests and bridal party accordingly.

Yes – open flame candles are permitted, provided all candles include a drip tray.

Please ensure your florist or stylist is aware, and that appropriate trays are sourced.

Yes! Dogs are welcome at Farm + Co Weddings – on a lead at all times.

We’re a pet-friendly farm venue, so well-behaved dogs on leads are absolutely welcome in the restaurant space, but not on the farm due to our animals and our farm dog, Lenny. To keep your day stress-free, we recommend arranging a dedicated pet sitter who can look after your dog during the ceremony and reception. A great option for this is petweddingservices.co.
