Wedding Ideas

Your wedding day will be one of the most important and memorable days of your life, and there is a lot of planning to do before the big day, to make your day memorable, for both of you and your family and friends. First, the location, Mt Tamborine is the most popular wedding destination in South East Queensland because it is romantic and beautiful. Situated in the Gold Coast hinterland, just 30 minutes to the Gold Coast and an hour’s drive from Brisbane, it really is the perfect location  for all seasons.

The Escarpment Retreat & Day Spa is quite unique and can assist you by providing answer to a number of important issues

There is a large variety of wedding venues, such as rainforests, chapels, vineyards, and gardens that cater for all types of weather, whatever the month of the year. When choosing a venue always have your guests in mind, if it is a very hot day, always make sure that there is some shade for them, and they are not left standing in the hot sun for long periods of time. Always have ice water on hand for them to drink, and not alcohol, as this is very dehydrating on a hot day. If the day is cool, maybe have some gas heaters to warm everyone up, if the day is wet; make sure that the venue has a wet weather plan, so that you and your guests are undercover.

Another challenge is wedding transport. It is such an important topic, we have dedicated an entire page to it.

When choosing your wedding professionals, such as a marriage celebrant, photographer, florist, and cake maker, make sure that they are all local to the mountain, as they will have the local knowledge, to make your day the success you deserve.

The time of day for your ceremony is also an important thing to factor in, when thinking about your wedding, making sure that the light is right for your photos. A ceremony normally takes about 30 minutes, which includes the signing of the marriage certificates and register. Therefore, you must leave enough time for family photos, group shots, and bridal party shots, where you may have to travel to special photo place on the mountain.
