Jaegarr
Wedding Coordinator
I first joined Shambala, then known as Tamborine Gardens, in 2005. After working on corporate events across the Asia-Pacific region, I returned to Tamborine Mountain and the estate in 2022. With around 20 years in weddings and events, I still love seeing all the little details come together.
My favourite part is watching a couple shine and really soak up their day. Getting to know their love story makes those moments even more meaningful. Shambala feels like a hidden gem—a private oasis for a celebration. I love offering guidance before the wedding and a reassuring presence on the day, so couples can enjoy what they have created.
“It feels like your very own private oasis!”
Bi
Wedding Coordinator
Across 13 years in hospitality, weddings have become such a meaningful part of my work. The moment the doors open and a couple sees one another still moves me. That emotion is what drew me to weddings in the first place, and it never loses its magic.
What I love about Shambala is the heart our whole team brings to it, from housekeeping to the people caring for the gardens, grounds and maintenance. Everyone contributes to how a celebration feels. For me, helping couples relax begins with a real connection: listening, noticing the little things and knowing when a reassuring word or a quietly refined detail will help them feel cared for.
“Quietly noticing what they need.”
Tyra
Wedding Coordinator
I spent eight years in hospitality before joining Shambala, and I’ve now been in the wedding industry for two years. My favourite moment is just before the walk down the aisle: at the Chapel or Atrium doors, crossing the bridge to the Gazebo, or heading down to the Waterfall Grotto. That anticipation gives me goosebumps every time.
I love getting to know our couples throughout their wedding journey and seeing everything come together. Sharing such a meaningful day is incredibly rewarding. For me, helping couples feel relaxed starts with a smile. I want to be a friendly, reassuring presence—someone to laugh with or turn to when the nerves build—so they can be themselves and enjoy every moment.
“I want our couples to feel that we’re right there with them.”
Rachel
Administration & Accounts
I bring almost 30 years of experience in administration and accounts, including seven years in hospitality. Much of my work happens behind the scenes, taking care of the finer details and helping make things easier for our couples and the team.
What I love most about Shambala is the people and the beautiful environment we work in. There is so much care in this team, and it is lovely to be part of that. I enjoy being a friendly, reassuring voice when someone has a question. Staying organised and making it easy to reach out are simple ways I can help couples feel supported as their plans come together.
A friendly voice, reassurance, and care for the finer details.
Supported by the whole Shambala team
These are some of the people you’ll meet along the way. Your wedding coordinator will guide your plans, supported by our administration, housekeeping, grounds and event teams. Your preferences help shape the details of your celebration.
