For a destination wedding in Australia, you really can’t go past the Sunshine Coast
The exquisite and diverse natural scenery coupled with the epic food scene sets the backdrop for an unforgettable event.
But when you’re planning your Sunshine Coast wedding from interstate or overseas, it can be overwhelming to choose the best options. If you’re not able to feel the vibe of the venue, taste the food, view the floral arrangements or even check out the honeymoon suite, it’s easy to worry your way all the way to the aisle.
That’s why working with a wedding planner is a lifesaver when it comes to destination weddings.

Mask Events can also organise all of your guests travel arrangements
This may seem obvious, but people’s ideas of “well in advance” can differ greatly. When guests are travelling for your wedding, they need to consider a lot of things, like arranging time off work, care for the kids, flights, hotels, and possibly planning a bigger holiday around the wedding. This also comes with a lot of expense, so make it as simple as possible for your guests to attend, or gracefully decline.
Weddings by Mask Events can recommend the best hotels and Air BnB’s for your guests’ needs, and ensure any potential discount rates are made available.

Embrace the Setting to Save on Decor
The Sunshine Coast is spectacular. If you want to bring a bit of nature into your wedding, you have backdrop options of beachfront, rainforest, beautiful rolling hills or magnificent lakes. You can take advantage of this not just for your photos, but for your wedding décor expenses. When the scenery is the main visual focus (apart from the Bride) you can incorporate simple pieces of the local greenery into table settings for a natural, elegant and inexpensive décor option.

Consider the Season
And we don’t just mean the weather. There are significant peak tourist seasons on the Sunshine Coast (usually when the weather is the best). You could choose to avoid these, or you could plan far enough in advance to ensure you get the venues, vendors and accommodation you want for you and your guests. Weddings by Mask Events can assist with determining best dates for your needs and organising all the logistics well in advance.

Visit at least once, if you can, if not we are here for you!
Preferably more if you can, but it’s important that you have the chance to confirm that everything you’ve decided on is exactly as you want it. If you’re using a wedding planner, your consultant will be in close communication with you regarding all aspects, but you’ll feel much more relaxed on the day if you know exactly what to expect. You’ll want to check out the venue and meet some key vendors.
It’s also a perfect opportunity to have your hair and makeup trial. Weddings by Mask Events can arrange a stylist and makeup artist to suit your preferred look for the day and organise a trial when you come for your site visit.
