With the variety of impressive locations for weddings venues, it’s little wonder that an ever-increasing amount of Australian couples and couples from all over the globe are opting for a Gold Coast Wedding.

Australia’s Gold Coast is a popular destination in Australia, which is no doubt due to the pristine beaches and impressive year round weather. The Gold Coast has many beautiful wedding venues to choose from, making it perhaps a difficult choice for many couples.

Beach Wedding
It’s no wonder that beach weddings are a very favourable choice for many couples tying the knot. The beaches in this part of Australia are considered to be some of the most spectacular in the world, though many couples still choose a garden or the traditional church wedding.  You have the choice of many fabulous beach locations from Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise or perhaps you prefer the Gold Coast’s Hinterland at Mt. Tamborine.

Rainforest Wedding
Alternatively, you might want to set the scene with a beautiful rainforest location, then look no further than Currumbin Valley with it’s beautiful flowing creeks and charming lagoons, nestled in the serene rainforest for a beautiful wedding venue location.

Gold Coast Climate
If you are choosing an outdoor wedding, then be sure to know Queensland’s somewhat unpredictable weather, remembering that December through to February can consist of a lot of rain, whereas Autumn and Spring are spectacular months with April and October being the most popular for Gold Coast weddings.

Other Options
Beach and rainforest weddings are not your only choice when it comes to a Gold Coast Wedding. You may desire a beautiful mountain wedding or to have your nuptials in a winery. All are possible and the choices are endless.
Choose to be married in a gorgeous location on the River at Tweed Heads or perhaps at one of the local golf courses or in the tropical outdoor settings of many of the five star hotels in the area. Many venues will cater to your every requirement, so there is little for you and your partner to do on the day except arrive.
Whether you choose a gorgeous garden or park location, the romance of the beach, rainforest or river, with such magnificent locations to choose for your special day, your Gold Coast wedding is sure to be the fairy-tale of which you have always dreamed.

It’s almost always followed by, “WOW….that’s so cool!”.  Sometimes it’s also followed by “Are you hiring?”  Trust me!  I know that I’m the luckiest girl out there.

I get to blend some of my greatest passions into 1 great job.  Helping people plan their wedding days….making the wedding as unique as the couple getting married….travel, and the gorgeous country of Australia!!!!

As I speak with couples about the unique opportunities to create fantastic, once in a life time weddings “Down Under”, I have to be careful.  There are so many beautiful places to get married in Australia….so many different themes and concepts to play with….and so many unique ways of saying, “I DO”,  that sometimes I find myself giving too many ideas at once.  So now, I have an outlet…..an outlet to share!!!  An outlet to share ideas, themes, concepts….some fun facts from Down Under, and some unique places to get married.  Some places you’ve heard of….others  you have yet to discover.  But with this outlet (aka:  my blog), I will give you ideas galore!!!  Not all at once….but new information every week or so!  And if there is anything that you want to know about, or things you would like me to focus on, feel free to tell me!  Post a comment or send an email.  I want to make this, not only fun!!!  But a resource for us all.
