Exciting News: All-New Inclusions at Songbird Retreat!
Planning your wedding should be exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made big changes to make your dream day seamless and stress-free!
Previously a dry-hire venue, Songbird Retreat required couples to arrange marquee hire, furniture, toilets, and service providers independently.
We’ve listened—and we’re excited to introduce our all-new inclusions!
What’s Now Included?
✔ A beautifully curated marquee setup – no need to hire externally
✔ Elegant furniture & stylish décor – ready for your dream day
✔ On-site luxury facilities – premium restrooms for guest comfort
