⸺ LAKESIDE COUNTRY Destination Weddings at Cooby Reflections next to Lake Cooby
Don’t Just Rush Through a Wedding Day. Enjoy a Whole Weekend Connecting with the People You Love.
Traditional wedding venues force you into a race against the clock. After months of planning, you get just a few hurried hours to cross the room, greet dozens of guests, and say goodbye before the venue shuts the doors at 10 PM. You barely get a moment to actually catch up with the family and friends who traveled to celebrate with you.
At Cooby Reflections, we believe your wedding should be a relaxed, stress-free celebration - not a race.
Our 20 hectare country estate on the shores of Lake Cooby lets you transform your wedding day into an unforgettable weekend getaway. Slow down, skip the timeline stress, and focus on what truly matters: making lifelong memories and connecting your two families together.
Our experienced wedding coordinators are here to help deliver a wedding experience as unique as you, as you celebrate with your nearest and dearest.

The Best Weekend of Our Lives
"We cannot recommend Reflections Lake Cooby enough after having our wedding there this past weekend. The venue itself is obviously stunning, with so many different spots to get beautiful photos (the sunset was another level!).
Every detail and all the effort they put in was just incredible. The kindness they showed our guests was amazing, including getting anything they needed or asked for."
Siobhan Ferris
"Reflections Lake Cooby is the perfect wedding venue! From the moment we arrived, we were in love with the beautiful green lawn and the amazing options for both the barn and marquee. The setting was absolutely stunning, providing the ideal backdrop for our special day.
One of the highlights was the bonfire, which created such a cozy and memorable atmosphere for our guests. The on-site accommodation was a huge plus, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time without any worries. We even had a lovely breakfast in the kitchen the next morning, which was a nice touch!
The gorgeous sunset over the lake was the cherry on top, adding to the relaxed and stunning vibe of the venue. The staff were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, making everything run smoothly.
I can’t recommend Reflections Lake Cooby enough—it truly made our wedding day unforgettable!"
Laura Morley
"Our big day arrived and everything was perfect from the get go! Friendly and very helpful staff who were more than accommodating through out the leading days an the wedding day/night itself. The evening couldn't have been anymore perfect. The ceremony area surrounded by a canopy of trees a stunning backdrop of the sun setting on the lake, which made for breathtaking photos to remember our day. The reception was held in the stunning white marquee and everyone danced the evening away outside under the stars. It truly was a magical day to remember, thanks to the team at reflections."
Hennah Saunders
"I had only planned on getting married once, but after having our wedding here I want to do it every week.! We had booked reflections about 18 months before our wedding day and the venue and views are amazing... fast forward to a few weeks out from the big day and any questions or queries we had for changes in our plans and guests were easily fixed. It was so much more than hiring a venue to host an occasion, the team went above and beyond to make the occasion so special for us and everyone involved. Could not recommend more.!"

"We had the most wonderful day we could ever have imagined at Cooby Reflections. The staff were all friendly and helpful and absolutely brought the magic through attention to detail... The venue and the sunsets were incredible as were all the spaces the venue has to offer.
We loved we could spend additional time there and didn’t have the time pressures of many venues. And then there’s the food! Delicious! We wish we could live the day again, it was everything..."
