Marry in Queensland

Queensland wedding packages

Say your vows in tropical Queensland, on an island beach or deep in the rainforest. Share your date and your advisor plans the rest.

Ask about Queensland
Reserve for A$200

Choose your venue in Queensland

We hold an offer at each of these four venues for your ceremony and reception.

  • InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef

    Say your vows barefoot on Hayman Beach, with the Whitsunday Islands across the water.

  • Pethers Rainforest Retreat

    Say your vows beneath towering rainforest trees on Tamborine Mountain, then gather by the fire.

  • Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort and Spa

    Say your vows under the trees on Palm Cove beach, then dine poolside by torchlight.

  • Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa

    Say your vows under giant fig trees by Four Mile Beach, then celebrate beside the lagoon pool.

Plan a wedding in Queensland

On Hayman Island, sunset drinks gather on Bam Bam Lawn beside the infinity pool, and dinner can follow under the stars among the fountains of the Formal Gardens. In Port Douglas, the resort sits on nearly 10 acres of beachfront, about 5 km south of town.

In Palm Cove, drinks after the vows move to the Lagoon Bar, an open-air bar hut a few steps from the sand. Up on Tamborine Mountain, a curtain of fairy lights glows outside after dark while a seasonal Scenic Rim menu comes to the table.

  • Your dinner at Hayman Island

    Long beach dinner table with clear chairs and green floral arrangements.

  • Your dinner at Sea Temple Port Douglas

    Reception table with pink napkins, roses and candles beside the pool at dusk.

  • The setting at Sea Temple Palm Cove

    Rooftop terrace with lawn overlooking the treetops.

Get your guests to Queensland

Your guests will want to know these before they book flights.

  • Nearest airport: Brisbane (BNE), Gold Coast (OOL), Cairns (CNS) for Port Douglas, and Hamilton Island (HTI) for the Whitsundays
  • Transfer: Palm Cove is about 25 minutes north of Cairns, and Port Douglas about an hour up the Captain Cook Highway. Tamborine Mountain is a 30 minute drive inland of the Gold Coast, and Hayman guests connect at Hamilton Island for the resort's private island.

Give your guests more of Queensland

Days around the wedding fill easily.

  • Whitehaven Beach

    Take a boat to the white silica sand of Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays.

  • Great Barrier Reef

    Snorkel or dive the reef on a day out from Port Douglas or Cairns.

  • Daintree Rainforest

    Head north of Port Douglas for a day in the Daintree Rainforest.

  • Scenic reef flight

    Fly low over the reef on a scenic flight and see its coral patterns from above.

Questions couples ask about marrying in Queensland

Does Queensland's time zone affect our wedding plans?+
It can, because Queensland stays on AEST all year and does not use daylight saving. During daylight saving it runs an hour behind Sydney and Melbourne, so interstate guests should check their arrival times against your ceremony start. Overseas guests connecting through Sydney need to allow for the change too, and we set every itinerary in Queensland time.
What time does a Tamborine Mountain wedding ceremony start?+
Usually at 3pm at Pethers Rainforest Retreat, which is when your exclusive use of the whole property begins. The team sets up an arbour, white draping and a signing table in the Wedding Garden, on the Rainforest Deck or in the Avocado Orchard, and wet weather styling is included. The evening then runs in the Lodge until 11pm, with all 10 villas available for your guests.
How small can a Queensland resort wedding be?+
As small as 10 guests. Pethers on Tamborine Mountain runs micro weddings for 10 to 28 guests, and Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple offers a smaller format for up to 25. Pullman Palm Cove asks for at least 30 guests, while the Arkhurst ballroom on Hayman Island takes up to 300.
Do we need a permit for a beach wedding at Palm Cove?+
Not separately at Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple, because the resort's beach ceremony set-up includes the permit. It also includes up to 40 garden chairs, a signing table and a wet weather backup on the covered terrace. Ceremonies take place on the sand under a canopy of trees, a few steps from the resort gardens.
Does the tide affect a beach wedding on Hayman Island?+
It can on Coconut Beach, a sheltered crescent for up to 200 guests, where the team times your vows around the tides. If you would rather not plan around the water, the Stella Maris Chapel, just beneath the island's summit, seats up to 70, and the covered Pool Lanai is kept ready in case rain comes in.
Where can we hold a wedding after-party in Port Douglas?+
In the Temple Room at Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple, an indoor space with a dance floor and private bar for up to 100 guests. ALUCO Restaurant can also be booked exclusively for up to 80 seated. For a whole weekend, Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple builds a 3-day programme with a welcome barbecue and a recovery brunch.
