If I were getting married at Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort , I would definitely make a full weekend of it. There are just too many wonderful experiences to be had! First on my list – the spa. Of course there are a wide selection of services to indulge in, including a chocolate facial, HydroMassage pool and reflexology massage, but there is also the gorgeous couple’s retreat, which to me appears to be calling out for a bride and groom to swoop in, wind down and de-stress before the big day. If being pampered is not your hubby-to-be’s thing, you can always send him off for a game of golf on the Champion Golf Course, while you and the girls enjoy manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, sauna’s, steams… Oh, the list goes on!

The wedding day itself will be fully taken care of with your own personal wedding coordinator, who will have spent months helping you to plan your ideal Noosa wedding. From ceremony and reception locations to canapé menu selections and styling, your coordinator will really look after you, as they have a wealth of experience in planning weddings at the resort.

The post Venue Review: Noosa Springs Resort & Spa appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

For transportation, the couple hooned around town in awesome hired red and yellow Mustangs, first to their ceremony at Ravenwood Park, Noosa Sound, and then on to their reception at Trio’s On The River at Noosa Marina.

When planning their wedding, Larissa and Lewis placed their highest level of importance on finding the right photographer. They wanted to be able to look back and relive their magical day for years to come with beautiful images that told their story. They couldn’t be happier with the result in these amazing photos by Level Eleven Photography.

“My mum was amazing, without her there wouldn't have been a wedding!”

 "We met through a mutual friend. It's funny we lived in Noosa for our whole lives, had mutual friends, even went to the same school, but never met!"

“At Trio’s we were able to have a formal area for dinner and speeches then an amazing area for dancing and celebrations.”
