Comfortably holding up to 450 guests, this luxury country estate nestled neatly between Coolum and Noosa will bring the rustic Sunshine Coast wedding of your dreams to life—and everyone’s invited.

Ocean View Estates, Mount Mee

Set amongst the old vines and surrounded by the ranges of Mount Mee and Mount Pleasant, Ocean View Estates offers up wedding day romance in spades. A working winery, cellar door and bespoke Sunshine Coast wedding venue, the choices here are endless for your big day.

Vows can be made at a number of achingly beautiful spots on the property; down by the lake at the gorgeous wooden pavilion, among the gum trees in the ‘Enchanted Forest’, even on the manicured lawns of the heli pad. Canapes and champagne is served at the cellar door overlooking the vines while your wedding shots are taken on the property’s 150 acres, before dinner is served with matching wines. Wrap it up with a stay overnight in one of the two cottages on the property. Wedded bliss, indeed.

The Chapel, Montville

The dramatic vistas over Kondalilla National Park (almost) steal the show, so picturesque is Montville’s The Chapel. But it’s the hand-carved sandstone building with elegant stain glass windows that make it one of the most romantic wedding venues on the Sunshine Coast.

Flooded with light with a distinctly magical feel, this tiny little chapel in the woods is straight out of a fairy tale. There are two elegant reception venues moments from the chapel, making wedding celebrations a breeze and your vows-to-venue dash an absolute dream.

Beach weddings on the Sunshine Coast

Noosa Boathouse, Noosaville

One of the most iconic venues on the Sunshine Coast, Noosa Boathouse is elegant, steals panoramic views of the Noosa River, and the food’s next-level.

Tread the boards in your wedding day finery, pop champagne on the wraparound deck and knock back oysters on your private floating wedding venue in the heart of beautiful Noosa.

Maroochydore Beach

This beautiful stretch of sand  is a popular choice for beachside weddings on the Sunshine Coast—and for good reason. Gentle rolling waves, a mass of golden sand and a pretty esplanade with plenty of shade (thanks to the established pandanus trees), its picturesque backdrop is a gorgeous spot for saying ‘I do’.

Not sure where to host your reception? Walk mere minutes to The Boat Shed for a reception venue with million-dollar views out to the beach and rolling waves. It’s a done deal.

Mooloolaba Beach

If you’re searching for the perfect beach wedding location on the Sunshine Coast, let the team at Mooloolaba Weddings do the hard yards for you.

Offering up a choice selection of oceanside ceremony locations, the only decision you have to make is which Mooloolaba beach best befits the bride and groom? 

Coolum Beach

Beautiful, peaceful and always picturesque, say your vows with Coolum Beach’s lustrous sand between your toes.

Less busy than some of the other Sunshine Coast, its esplanade still offers a number of eateries perfect for a more intimate reception.

Tip: Planning your big day on the beach? Be prepared and make sure to have your paperwork taken care of. Applications for beach weddings on the Sunshine Coast are free, but you’ll have to apply.
