Wedding Venues in South East Queensland

Written By Alyssa Fahey

I struggled to find an exhaustive list of SEQ wedding venues along my wedding planning journey, so I have compiled one. In particular, I struggled to find ocean-front venues, which surprised me considering we have some of the best beaches in the world!

We are based in Brisbane and have the whole Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast to choose from, and we would like an ocean view wedding. However, in my research to find a venue, I seriously struggled to find all of the options - so I have compiled the below list of venues. Hopefully it helps someone else out there! 

A lot of wedding websites charge $$$ for venues and vendors to list themselves on their website… and not all venues have the money to pay for the exposure. So here’s a free resource.

I’ve separated these into categories:
