Relaxed Wedding Ceremony Locations across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast
One of the biggest decisions you’ll make early in your planning is choosing the perfect ceremony location. And with so many stunning venues across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, it can feel a little overwhelming to know where to start.
After officiating weddings for more than 10 years across South East Queensland, I’ve seen just how different each venue can feel — modern, romantic, coastal, garden, industrial, luxe, intimate, hinterland and everything in between.
This guide gives you a broad overview of the most-loved venue styles in each region, along with examples to help you explore what feels right for your day. I must also admit that I have conducted a growing number of ceremonies at private residences, which are all uniquely amazing!!
