Secrets on the Lake Phone 07 5478 5888 www.secretsonthelake.com.au Making a Booking

We invite you to come and visit our beautiful Secrets Garden, check out our Lakehouse and enjoy a tour or one of our treehouses. Call our office on 07 5478 5888 and arrange an inspection. One of our staff will then give you a tour. Best time for this is before check in time, which is usually between 11am and 1pm.

While you are here perhaps you would like to sample out food in our Café on the Deck as it will give you an idea of the standard of food to expect to be served for a wedding reception or after ceremony canapés. Having made your decision to get married here, we will do a quote based on what you have talked about and email it to you. You then have time to consider it and once you have made a final decision, we will require a deposit and Agreement Form signed and returned. The agreement form is at the end of the terms and conditions. At this point we pass your details to Susan Lyle who helps you with your arrangements and eventually you will be able to sign off on your even order which we then follow to the letter on your special wedding day.

The Wedding Planner

Our Wedding Planner has many weddings to plan and will be as timely as possible Maximum of 2 onsite meetings where the event order for the wedding and reception is planned in detail. After this minor details can be negotiated by phone internet. You personally can visit the gardens with prior notice to avoid arriving when another event is currently being held. An event order must be completed and signed off with committed numbers by 2 weeks before the event. All final payments are required at this time. Chefs do not begin preparations until all monies have been paid.
