Pitchfork Restaurant in Peregian Beach is like the venue equivalent of the perfect dress: effortlessly stylish during the day, transitioning into funky elegance in the evening. Six days a week, this place is packed with local clientele – to me, that’s a really good sign you have a winner on your hands. Their gourmet menu changes seasonally, and when you book your wedding you can choose a sit down dinner for up to 90 guests and canape package options to suit all budgets. Alternatively you can host a cocktail reception for up to 120 guests. 

Peregian Beach being the perfect picturesque place for an elopement, Pitchfork Restaurant will even cater for small intimate weddings of 10 guests – as long as you don’t mind some fellow restaurant-goers, who will surely wish you well and add to the joy of your special day, being such a friendly, relaxed little coastal town.

This intimate, original wedding styled shoot was inspired by the colour palette the natural location provided, and stylists from Lovebird Weddings used rustic timbers and feature accents in champagne and gold for a touch of glamour.

After a ceremony on location at stunning Peregian Beach, the Dream Team set up a gorgeous reception at Pitchfork Restaurant nearby. Jodi McDonald Photography shot the whole thing on film, which let me tell you, is truly something else! 

Beautiful one day, perfect the next Peregian Beach provided the backdrop for the ceremony set up. The focal point of the altar was a gorgeous rustic wooden canopy with floating muslin.

“Sweet Love” this way. Rustic signage points the way down the jute runner aisle, through the driftwood archway. 

A unique registry table is this antique wooden school desk loveseat, natural with oodles of character – a sweet new find for Lovebird Weddings! 

Gold painted jars with crisp white florals notch up the elegance in this natural setting. 

Pitchfork Restaurant was decked out in scrumptious style. The lone chandelier and the Turkish rug are two features, which create a sense of luxury. The long reception table is draped with a burlap table runner and seating is provided in rich dark oak bentwood chairs. 

Each table setting features a place card secured to a pear or sprig of herbs and handwritten menu on kraft paper. Placed across the centre of the table, florals in rustic logs and test tubes add a unique element to the design. Taupe taper candles and eclectic tea lights add a soft romantic light and complement the florals.

Romantic floating lace surrounds the outdoor area of Pitchfork Restaurant, while a four-tier wedding cake perched atop rustic wooden cake stand, alongside a wine barrel table.

The decor at Pitchfork Restaurant, versatility in design and gourmet menu make it the perfect Peregian Beach wedding venue – relaxed, original, beautiful.
