THE EVOLUTION OF SPLASH

THE EVOLUTION OF SPLASH

Our business has always been driven by a love for creating beautiful spaces

Following an elite career in visual merchandising, a serious passion for the wedding industry and a Bachelor of Interior Design, our creative founder Nicole launched Splash Events in 2006 after making the move from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast. Developed entirely from scratch, the business began from her dining room table with nothing but a few pieces of decor, sheer determination and raw talent.

From humble beginnings, we quickly grew momentum thanks to our high standards and fresh concepts - allowing us to build a rock-solid reputation as the leaders in what we do. Since our inception, we’ve styled, planned and decorated our way through thousands of special occasions across Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and South East QLD.

While our small business has grown in leaps and bounds, our passion for creating incredible experiences remains the same. Based in Noosa, we primarily service the Sunshine Coast but also travel to Brisbane and the Gold Coast on request.
