Undeniably, Noosa is home to some of the world’s most stunning beaches. It’s absolutely no wonder so many want to be married here and why our local wedding vendors never get tired of seeing these areas all dressed up for wedding ceremonies. 

Below I’ve shared some of the most popular locations couples choose for their Noosa weddings. Scroll to the bottom to learn exactly how to book to secure one of these beach ceremony locations exclusively for your Noosa wedding day. 

Maison La Plage

If you have planned a large wedding with more than 100 guests, this is the beach ceremony location for you as it has the largest capacity of the Noosa beach spots. It’s very popular with couples getting married in Noosa, as the pandanus trees create an iconic coastal vibe. On a sunny day, the aqua waves sparkle in the background.

Little Cove 

This is a super popular choice for elopements and micro weddings. You can be married right on the sane at Little Cove. Accessing this one can be a little tricky, especially if you have any guests with mobility issues, so bear that in mind when booking this spot for your ceremony. Its natural beauty is unmatched with sandy shores and beach rocks. There is a gorgeous variety of opportunities for wedding party photos in this location.

Hidden Grove

Another great spot where you can have a larger guest list for your Noosa beach wedding ceremony. “Hidden” may not be the most appropriate name for this grove, as it’s situated very centrally in Noosa! This is a great thing if you’re holding your wedding reception at one of the many gorgeous Noosa wedding venues along Hastings Street, or on the Noosa River.

The Ocean Lawn is part of the Sunshine Beach Surf Club, so to hold your ceremony here you will need to book the space through the Surf Club.

How to Book a Beach Ceremony Location in Noosa

As soon as you know your wedding date, if you want to get married in Noosa, you need to act fast. Once the dates are gone they’re gone, so be sure to check the availability of your fave Noosa beach ceremony location ASAP. 

You can do this through the Noosa Shire Council website. Yes, there is a fee and it will be non-refundable. Some areas are able to be booked for 2 hours, while others you can have for up to 3 hours. 

Should you risk not booking and just show up on the day? Absolutely not. If you didn’t go ahead and book it, chances are someone will have – and they will have the power to kick you out of their designated ceremony hour. Definitely don’t risk it! Make the booking and pay the fee, it’s a small price to pay to get a stunning spot in a world-famous Noosa beach spot for your wedding. 

Frequently asked questions about planning a wedding ceremony in Noosa

The post Noosa Beach Wedding Ceremony Locations appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

It isn’t always easy living over the other side of the world from the familiar, but Scottish doctors, Charlie and Chris, have made Australia their home.

For their Noosa wedding, they brought a little bit of home with them. The groom wore a kilt right on Noosa beach – as did the couple’s gorgeous fur baby! While the bride wore a stunning form-fitting low-back gown, we’re not sure who would have turned more heads! 

Finding the Dream Team

“We used the Bride’s Tree to find vendors including celebrant, photographer, hair and make up artists and styling company. We stumbled across Taylor Moss the night before our wedding on Hastings Street and loved her music so much we asked if she would play at our wedding the next day and amazingly she agreed!”

Noosa Wedding Location

“We visited Noosa in the first few months after moving to Australia. We fell in love with the atmosphere and beauty of the area. We were quite homesick at the time and it reminded us why we had made the big move. We then took every opportunity we could to visit and made many happy memories there over the years. It was an easy decision to get married there.”

Wedding Day Surprise 

“Chris surprised me by having our cocker spaniel arrive at the drinks reception wearing a puppy kilt. It was the best surprise and my favourite moment of the whole day.”

Most Emotional Moment

“We wrote our own vows and it meant so much standing in such a beautiful location surrounded by our loved ones reading our personalised vows to each other.”

Stand-out Suppliers

“Bonnie Jenkins is a phenomenal photographer, we felt incredibly lucky to have her capture our special day. She is just the loveliest person and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Natalie and Ceri (Evalyn Parsons) are so skilled and made me feel beautiful. I wish I could have them do my make up and hair every day! The meal in Rock Salt Noosa was not only great value but also just ridiculously good food! Many of our guests said it was the best meal they’d ever had!” 

The Proposal 

“One night we had a spontaneous date night and after dancing to our favourite song on a candlelit balcony Chris dropped to one knee, pulled out a ring and asked if I’d marry him.”

Why I Married Chris

“He’s my best friend and the best team mate I could ask for to travel through life with.”

Advice for Future Brides

“Try to relax and not worry about the tiny details. You’re the only one that notices them and the most important thing is that you enjoy the process and your day.”

The Music 

“Music is one of my biggest passions and we took a lot of time curating the music we wanted. I walked down the aisle to ‘Welcome Home, Son‘ by Radical Face, we signed the register to Vance Joy’s ‘Mess is Mine‘ and walked back down the aisle to our favourite song ‘Young Volcanoes‘ by Fall Out Boy.” 

Check out my playlist full of songs you might like to walk down the aisle to. These are a collection of suggestions from real brides, and some of my own suggestions. – Sally, The Bride’s Tree editor.

Many of Caitlin and Dale’s guests remarked they had never seen a more excited bride when she walked down the aisle to meet her betrothed. With smiles for days the pair said their vows in the shade of Casuarina Gardens in Noosa Main Beach before their 82 guests. 

The couple always knew they wanted a Noosa beach wedding, as they share a deep love for the water. From the beginning having both their ceremony and reception close to the water was their biggest priority in their wedding planning. Finding a waterfront wedding reception venue in Noosa was top of the list. 

Both Caitlin’s father and brother walked the beaming bride down the aisle – one of the many ways Caitlin’s father was involved in the wedding. Stepping up for bridal gown appointments, checking out the venue, meeting the photographer, and booking boats and buses were also part of the gig for the hands-on dad, as Caitlin’s mother had sadly passed away. Caitlin found many ways to honour her mother in the wedding, including dedicating a special dance, which all joined in for. 

The reception was held at Noosa Waterfront Restaurant + Bar. The guests were ferried across the Noosa River to the venue, while the bride and groom spent some much-needed alone time together in a dreamy vintage speed boat on the way to their Noosa reception venue.

      “I love the Kate Spade colouring: bright, vibrant and fun. This is why we went for bright florals, black and white stripes and gold accents. The vibrancy of the theme tied in perfectly with the atmosphere we were hoping to create for ourselves and for our friends and family. “ “My mum passed away six years ago and was unable to be a part of the planning process for our wedding so my dad made sure he was really involved in the whole process. I wore a swatch of my mums dress sewn into the lining of my dress, had a photo broach of my mum on my bouquet and her dress wrapped around by bouquet, had her favourite flowers in my bouquet and lit a lantern for her at our ceremony. After the speeches, Dale and I asked all of our guests to join us on the dance floor to dale to Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”, a song that has special meaning for my mum.”  “My dad and brother both walked me down the aisle. We had a special ceremony where my family and Dale’s family both gave us away and welcomed us into both families.”  “We both adored our ceremony. It was the best feeling finally getting to see each other about a morning apart. I don’t think I’ve been more excited in my life.” “My motto was: ‘it’s our wedding and we can do whatever we like’ through the whole planning process.” “We are best friends before anything else and our strong friendship has got us through the ups and downs of life together.”  “It was a priority for us to be near the water for both the ceremony and reception. We both love the water.”

 “Our guests enjoyed a sunset cruise on the Noosa Ferry and we enjoyed a ride on the Noosa Dreamboat with just the two of us in between our ceremony and reception. To have 45 minutes together and alone cruising along the beautiful Noosa River was truly special. We got to sit back, relax, have a glass of champagne and talk to each other.” “We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party on Saint Patrick’s Day 2012. Dale was dressed as Luigi and I (dressed) as Xena, the Warrior Princess. All of our friends left the party so we gravitated to each other as the only two friend-less people at the party.”

When the day started out looking somewhat less than perfect by Queensland weather standards, Stacey and Nick refused to let it deter them from having their beach wedding at Noosa Main Beach’s Casuarina Gardens. After all, they had been engaged for over six years – this was happening! 

The popular spot for Noosa Beach wedding ceremonies was decorated by Beach & Garden Ceremonies with a touch of copper glamour, and a little sparkle. The bride chose flowers that included perfectly bloomed roses in a striking red, and local makeup artist Natalie Hunter applied a lipstick to match, while Evalyn Parsons whipped her hair up into a classic elegant high bun with a braid for a contemporary twist. 

After the ceremony and a quick bridal party shoot on Noosa Main Beach with Lisa Pearl Photography, the couple and their 55 guests continued the celebration with fine dining at Sails Restaurant on Hastings Street. 

“It was important to us that we could have the ceremony and reception within walking distance for our guest’s comfort and to minimise disruption on the day. We were set on a restaurant style wedding and after getting engaged six years prior in Noosa, finding a venue along Hastings Street ticked all the boxes. Once we had our restaurant venue selected, all other elements fell into place pretty effortlessly.”  “Having our closest friends and family in the same place after travelling from many locations around the country. The day was just so full of love and having a morning ceremony and lunch reception meant we were able to spend quality time with everyone and party on well into the night.”  “My grandparents were married 55 years earlier and my great-grandparents 80 years earlier on June 3^rd and we feel so special to be able to share this wedding date with them. To honour this, I carried my grandmothers handkerchief from her wedding day in my dress pocket and my grandfather walked me down the aisle. ”  “As part of our ceremony, we included a ring blessing which entailed our wedding rings in a timber box being passed around to all our guests for them to hold and say a silent blessing, wish or prayer.”

 “Follow your heart and do whatever you want to do, not what you think you need to do. Not every wedding needs to be the same, that’s what makes them special.” “We made the call early on in the day that we were going to proceed with our outdoor ceremony regardless (of the rain) and luckily the rain held out for the entire ceremony and bridal party photos, with it starting to rain just as we stepped into the reception.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: Our venue and photographer. Both absolutely worth it.

Best money-saver: We were able to save money with the restaurant by having our wedding in winter on a Friday at the lunch sitting.

Local yoga instructor/hairdresser, Elizabeth, married her love of six years, Civil Engineer, David, on Noosa North Shore beach. They then followed up their nuptials with a catered marquee reception on Noosa Camping Grounds.

Elizabeth took on as many tasks as she could, putting her DIY talents to the tesxt – even adding handmade flowers to her own wedding dress! Now that is a committed and confident bride! 

“The best piece of advice I was given, which I wish I had remembered, was if you see something you love and it’s a good price, just get it. So often I searched and searched only to end up with the first thing I had found.”

“Without our family and friends our wedding just would not have been possible, my bridesmaids were always helping search the net for prices and ideas, I was always on the phone to my mum for help picking things up I’d found somewhere.”

“We paid for everything our wedding party needed to look fabulous on the day!”

Little Cove, Noosa is the perfect beach wedding ceremony location. It is private, serene and hands-down one of the most stunning places in the world. The natural surroundings of the beach, bush and headland are impressively pretty indeed.

Style Le Aisle are Sunshine Coast wedding decorators, who absolutely love this beach location for Sunshine Coast weddings. They created an inspiring wedding ceremony style we simply adore, and we know you will, too.

It is called From Here to Eternity, and it embodies and compliments all the things we love about the serene setting of a Sunshine Coast beach. These gorgeous shots of the styling were taken by one of our favourite Sunshine Coast photographers, Jennifer Oliphant.

The understated combination of Americana chairs trimmed with cluny lace places full emphasis on the stunning lace canopy, which is perfectly finished with a loose arrangement of vine and flowers

With crisp white elements, the concept celebrates natural beauty, purity, simplicity and classic refinement

“My dad drove me down the aisle on a Harley Davidson – his dream!“

What a wonderful week full of celebrating love. We kicked things off with the most romantic designer wedding gowns, followed by a very sweet engagement shoot at the sweetest ever Montville wedding night cottage, then we were treated to a gorgeous Greek Orthodox wedding held on a Noosa beach. And after our massive day of Valentines loveliness, we actually got down to business at the end of the week and told you exactly what to expect when planning your order of service with your Sunshine Coast wedding celebrant. 

Now once you have checked out anything you happened to miss throughout the week, be sure to have yourself a little marvel at our drop dead gorgeous Photo of the Week! 

Enjoy your Sunday, beautiful Sunshine Coast brides! We will see you back here tomorrow when we kick off another wonderful wedding of wedding inspiration.

Ana didn’t have a specific theme in mind when planning her wedding, so she relied upon her stylist and florist to guide her in the right direction. The results are absolutely amazing, so it just goes to show that allowing seasoned professionals to do what they do best can really pay off! We absolutely adore the bright, happy, colourful wedding styling of the ceremony and reception with impressive baby’s breath centrepieces in tall vases. Blooms of Noosa are one of the most creative florists out there, and they really put together a breathtaking sight. 

Their reception was held at Rickys River Bar + Restaurant, a stunning, classy waterfront restaurant in Noosa, and the perfect location to celebrate through the night after a Noosa beach ceremony. The location itself is amazing, the food to-die-for, and the decor divine. 

Ana and Josh wanted to involve their beloved family and friends in their wedding ceremony as much as possible. Ana’s sister wrote a beautiful letter, their sister-in-law picked a beautiful poem to read at the ceremony and they included a Rings Warming Ceremony, whereby their rings were passed amongst the guests for good wishes. 

The absolutely incredible photos below are by one of the most talented photographers on the Sunshine Coast, Jennifer Oliphant Photography. We love her vibrant images, which have captured the emotions and special moments of the day so beautifully. 

Enjoy, and make sure you take a peek at the full list of amazing Sunshine Coast wedding professionals, who made this day happen for Ana and Josh.

“Josh got me the earrings that I wore, my friend who walked me down the aisle got me my bridal garter and my bridesmaids got me blue underwear! But the most special piece was the veil I wore, it was my husband’s mother’s, the one she wore on her wedding day 40 years ago!”

“Our little nephews were our page boys, we had our closest friends in our Bridal party and in my dad’s absence one of my best friends walks me down the aisle.”

“Our personalised vows which we kept secret from each other were a special moment of the day, it was incredibly emotional to share them and those words are going to be always in our minds. Before mine, I read Josh a Poem that I absolutely love! ‘I Carry Your Heart with Me’ – EE Cumings “

“We believe that to success in a relationship is more than finding the right person you need to be the right person, we listen to each other, we argue but we also resolve the problems we face, the differing cultures and backgrounds also makes everything interesting.“

Ana’s Advice for Future Brides

• Savour the moment; it goes so quick!!… When you are walking down the aisle take a deep breath and breath in the moment, the beauty of it, your family and friends warm faces when they see you, your husband to be… enjoy that moment, it’s a treasurable memory!
• People love having opinions and mostly they are doing it out of love but remember is your day, have it as you have always imagined it… people don’t have to love what you love.
• Your wedding is also important for your family; it’s worth it to accommodate some things for them, like a couple of extra invitations for example or seating plans.
• Make a list of shots that you would like to have, look at bridal blogs, magazines… any source of inspiration and have a list that you can give to your photographer.
• Be happy and grateful for the people that want to be part of your day; attending and even more being part of wedding party takes people’s time and it costs, people that accept your invitation really want to be there for you!
• Include make up to touch-up yours after the ceremony, it can get really emotional [I cried pretty much the 30mins that it lasted!] and you want to be photo ready right after it!

“We have very similar goals and expectations from each other.“

“We arrived to the reception at Rickys in a classic boat; we were sipping champagne on the most beautiful sunset cruising around Noosa River. It was absolutely stunning and it was some private time that we really enjoyed.”
