Vendor bump in / out

  • Vendors have access to the Pavilion from this time. Please note that the couple may have chosen to use our Selah Valley Estate tables/chairs, if this is the case, set up of furniture inside the Pavilion will be complete by us from 9am-Midday. We don’t set earlier due to the Pavilion being our fair weather plan.

Familiarising yourself at Selah Valley Estate

Our spaces include:

  • Cabins (set on the hillside)

  • Suites (set on the creekside)

  • The Pavilion is often the preferred reception space for couples with guests up to 100 seated. The Pavilion is also the fair weather plan should it rain.

  • Bathrooms are located opposite the creekside suites. On particularly warm days, we have shower facilities available should vendors wish to refresh, please bring your own towel.

  • Event lawn. This is often the primary ceremony location if weather is on our side. In some cases, we have couples that are planning towards an outdoor reception under a tipi, or under lighting in this space. Catering and bar teams need to be aware of the distance to serve food, a mobile service set up would be recommended in this case and should be discussed with your couple.

  • The deck. This is often the primary location for cocktail hour. In some cases, it is also the dance floor if couples are maximising seating capacity within The Pavilion.

What is the difference between venue management and on the day coordination?

Venue Management at Selah Valley: Under the Arbour are hired by the estate to assist with the management of the venue. For example, ensuring the kitchen is ready for the catering team, setting your ceremony chairs, ensuring power is operating etc. A member of the Under the Arbour team is on site from guest arrival until guest departure (based on the 8 hour package at Selah Valley).

On the day Coordination: This is a personalised service to support you as the couple with your wedding day. You may separately engage Under the Arbour to work with you approximately 6 weeks out from your wedding day to firm up your wedding day timeline. The team will then communicate a summarised version with your vendors and assist with bringing together your vendor teams on the day. On the day support may include support with your decor set up on tables (ie. placing menu cards out, any DIY items etc), and support with coordination of your ceremony, transition into the cocktail hour and reception. This service is based on a core 6 hours on the day (your peak set up/coordination period).

This is an add on service offered and one we know you’ll be so pleased to have the support of. You can view Under the Arbour’s coordination and content package inclusions here.

This is an option that you’ll be able to pre order per cabin/suite so that you don’t have to pop out for groceries while you’re with us and have enough yummy food to enjoy.

Transport and parking

For guests exceeding 30, an organised coach is the preferred method at the estate to ensure your guests arrive and exit Selah Valley safely.

We recommend speaking with your coach company who will assist in identifying the best pick up locations for your guests.

Most recently, our couples are planning pick up locations on the Gold Coast, Casaurina, Kingscliff, or locally in the Murwillumbah town (a central location near to Airbnb options for guests). Murwillumbah is approximately 27 minutes drive from Selah Valley.

A new event parking area has been identified for your vendors and guests requiring an earlier departure or accessible transport. We expect this area is suitable for up to 20 cars.
