Choosing Your Wedding Venue on the Sunshine Coast

Your wedding venue is one of the most exciting and important decisions you’ll make in your planning journey. It’s not just the location for your celebration but the foundation for creating an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Here on the Sunshine Coast, you’re spoiled for choice with venues that range from stunning beachfront spaces to lush hinterland retreats. But how do you decide which is right for you? Let’s dive into some tips to help you choose a venue that fits your style and works seamlessly with exceptional styling from Splash Events.

Imagine Your Dream Celebration

When you picture your wedding reception, what stands out? Is it dancing under a canopy of fairy lights, enjoying cocktails with an ocean view, or indulging in a gourmet feast surrounded by lush greenery?

Start with your vision. Are you drawn to coastal elegance, rustic charm, or contemporary luxury? Once you’ve nailed down your style, it’ll be easier to narrow down venues that align with your dream day.

Styling Insight: Blank canvas venues or spaces with neutral tones are a stylist’s playground. Whether it’s creating a tropical vibe or a romantic ambiance, we’ll transform your chosen venue into something truly spectacular.

Think Practical

While your vision is essential, practicality plays a huge role in making your celebration seamless. Consider your guest list size and how well the venue can accommodate it, too cramped, and it feels crowded; too large, and it can feel empty.

Location is another key factor. If you’re inviting guests from out of town, look for venues close to accommodations or with easy transport options. And don’t forget about parking or access for suppliers to make your event setup smooth and efficient.

Styling Insight: Practical spaces can still look amazing. From setting up cozy lounge areas to stunning entryways, we can design the perfect layout to suit your venue and your guest flow.

Know What’s Included

Not all venues are created equal when it comes to what’s provided. Some venues offer basics like tables and chairs, while others leave you with a blank slate. Knowing what’s included upfront will help you decide what additional styling or furniture you may need.

Styling Insight: We love taking a simple venue and adding all the right touches to make it extraordinary. Think statement lighting, chic furniture, or themed table settings to bring your vision to life.
