Oaks Port Douglas Resort

Your Port Douglas Destination Wedding
Say “I do” surrounded by tropical gardens, swaying palms and the relaxed beauty of Port Douglas.

Located just moments from iconic Four Mile Beach, Oaks Port Douglas Resort brings your ceremony, reception, accommodation and wedding-weekend celebrations together in one unforgettable destination. From an intimate gathering with your closest family and friends to an elegant ballroom reception, our flexible venues can be tailored to reflect your style, guest numbers and vision.

More than simply a place to hold your reception, Oaks Port Douglas Resort gives you and your guests the opportunity to turn one special day into a complete tropical escape.

A Tropical Setting Made for Celebrations
Set among lush palm-fringed gardens and centred around a beautiful lagoon-style pool, the resort offers a relaxed and naturally inviting backdrop for your wedding.

Capture memorable photographs throughout the resort’s tropical grounds, beside the lagoon and among the gardens, or venture to nearby Four Mile Beach for classic Port Douglas wedding images.

Our indoor and outdoor venue options give couples the freedom to create a celebration that feels personal. Host welcome drinks outdoors, enjoy an elegant seated reception in the Manhattan Ballroom, gather for a relaxed celebration at Oak & Vine, or create a memorable cocktail experience overlooking the resort surroundings.

Whether your style is refined and traditional, relaxed and tropical, or somewhere in between, our team will help you select the setting that best brings your plans to life.

Your Ceremony, Your Reception, Your Way
Every couple has a different vision, which is why our wedding packages are designed to provide structure without taking away your ability to personalise the day.

Our venue options can accommodate intimate ceremonies, cocktail celebrations, buffet receptions and formal plated dinners. Depending on your preferred venue and guest numbers, your reception may be hosted in the Manhattan Ballroom, The Lilypad, Oak & Vine Restaurant or one of our outdoor entertaining areas.

The resort offers nine function spaces and outdoor options, with the Manhattan Ballroom accommodating up to 140 guests for a banquet or 260 for a cocktail-style event. The Lilypad accommodates up to 80 banquet guests or 120 for cocktails, while Oak & Vine Restaurant provides an inviting option for smaller celebrations. Final capacities depend on room configuration and event requirements. 

From your initial enquiry through to the final details, our Wedding and Events Team will work with you to develop a celebration that suits your priorities, style and budget.

Food Your Guests Will Remember
Exceptional food and thoughtful service are at the heart of a memorable reception.

Our culinary team offers a choice of dining styles, allowing you to select an experience that complements the atmosphere you want to create. Options may include elegant plated menus, generous buffets, relaxed shared dining and cocktail-style celebrations with canapés.

Following confirmation of your wedding, you will have the opportunity to experience a complimentary menu tasting and discuss your preferred menu with our team. We can also assist with dietary requirements, beverage selections, welcome drinks, signature cocktails and culinary enhancements.

Continue the celebration with a rehearsal dinner before the wedding, welcome drinks when your guests arrive, or a relaxed post-wedding breakfast or poolside gathering.

Planning Made Personal
Planning a destination wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

Our dedicated Wedding and Events Team will guide you through the planning process, helping coordinate the venue, menu, beverages, room setup and timing of your celebration. On the day, our attentive team will oversee the operational details so you can focus on your guests and enjoy every moment.

We also work with trusted local wedding professionals who can assist with:

Photography and videography

Couples can arrange a personalised site inspection to experience the resort, explore the venue options and begin visualising how each part of the celebration could come together.

Turn Your Wedding into a Tropical Escape
With onsite accommodation available for you, your wedding party, family and friends, your celebration does not need to end when the reception finishes.

Your guests can settle into the resort, meet for drinks by the pool, enjoy dinner together before the wedding and reconnect over breakfast the following morning. Accommodation options range from comfortable hotel rooms to spacious apartments suitable for couples, families and groups.

With 155 accommodation rooms and capacity for approximately 210 guests, the resort makes it easier to keep your celebration together in one convenient location. 

Group accommodation arrangements may be available for qualifying bookings, helping travelling guests plan their stay and enjoy more of the occasion with you.

Discover Port Douglas Together
Port Douglas is one of Australia’s most memorable tropical destinations, offering your guests far more than the wedding day itself.

Encourage your guests to extend their visit and explore the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest and the many experiences available throughout Tropical North Queensland. The resort’s wedding strategy specifically positions Port Douglas as a destination for couples and guests seeking a tropical celebration combined with an extended group stay and access to internationally recognised regional attractions. 

Closer to the resort, your guests can enjoy Four Mile Beach, the town’s restaurants, cafés, shopping and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Our team can also help connect you with local operators and suppliers to create activities or experiences around your wedding itinerary.
