The Bespoke Songbird Experience
For couples who dream without limits
Some weddings follow a template. Yours doesn’t have to.
At Songbird Retreat, our Bespoke Songbird Experience package offers you complete creative freedom. With two magical days of exclusive use, you can design your celebration exactly as you imagine it — whether that means a bespoke marquee on the lawn, curated designer furniture, or a one-of-a-kind styling concept crafted to perfection.
Imagine walking hand-in-hand beneath the canopy of our gardens, as your marquee glows softly at dusk. Guests sip champagne on the lawn, the atmosphere shaped entirely by your vision — all framed by the natural elegance of Songbird Retreat.
Your Investment
The Bespoke Songbird Experience begins at $21,995 (incl.).
Two uninterrupted days to savour the grounds, gardens, and private retreat, reserved only for you and your 50–150 guests. Set up your chosen marquee and decor, celebrate, and unwind in 4 acres of private valley with a helipad for your grand entrance, BYO alcohol for your signature cocktail, a dedicated coordinator and service team to oversee flow and vendor timing.
No rushing, no interruptions — simply space and time to celebrate.
“One of the things we appreciated most was the flexibility. The venue allowed us to make the day truly our own—from bringing in our own vendors (including catering and alcohol) to setting up a marquee that suited our style and guest list.”
