The Mary Valley Rattler has a range of ceremony & reception opportunities, either at the Historic Gympie Station, Amamoor or Dagun Station or onboard our fleet of heritage locomotives and carriages.
Take your wedding guests on an unforgettable experience utilising the same route used by the early settlers, farmers and gold miners of the region, while taking in the breath taking scenery of the magnificent Mary Valley.
The Mary Valley Rattler has designed all inclusive packages to suit our unique venue. When you book your wedding with us, your ceremony, train journey and reception are all sorted. These packages include all your ceremony styling, reception styling, meals, venue hire, wedding coordinator and so much more. You are also welcome to customise these packages to complement your perfect day.
Your guests will hop on board your train of choice for a journey through the beautiful Mary Valley. You and your wedding party will have your own private carriage – complete with curtains to keep you hidden from your guests.
Choose your train experience from our historic rollingstock, including the C17 class steam locomotives, our 1629 class diesel electric locomotive or our RM style Railmotor!
As the train arrives at Amamoor or Dagun station, you’re greeted by a stunning ceremony set on a luscious green field. You can choose how you would like your ceremony orientated – either with the train as the backdrop, or overlooking the greenery.
After the ceremony, your guests can enjoy canapes while you take the opportunity for some beautiful photographs in a small rural township with a heritage train as your background.
Your guests will then head back to the Historic Gympie Station via your chosen train.
On arrival back at the station – you will be greeted by our friendly team. You have a range of options when it comes to your reception, and multiple inclusions available.
You can choose between cocktail/canape style, 3-course sit down meal, buffet or a mixture of these options.
Whether it be onboard our C17 class steam locomotive & heritage carriages (967 or 974), the 1620 class diesel electric locomotive (DEL 1632) or on our RM style Railmotor (RM76), it’s sure to be a beautiful journey.
Each has their own history and unique railway experience!
