Getting married on the Gold Coast? Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to:
Fun in the sun has long been associated with the Gold Coast, where a stretch of 70 kilometres of pristine beaches draw visitors year round. The region is known for its pleasant weather (think 300 days of sunshine!), with May through November offering the best weather for outdoor weddings. January and February tend to be hot and humid, docking the most rainfall of the year. Subtropical weather patterns keep conditions generally pleasant throughout the year, so planning an alfresco wedding on the Gold Coast is generally pretty low-stress.
What are the popular wedding styles on the Gold Coast?A glitzy, glamorous wedding at a luxury hotel on the Surfers Paradise strip a la Old Hollywood style. Boho beach weddings at waterfront restaurants and venues along the Gold Coast. A classic, vintage wedding at a winery wedding venue in the Gold Coast hinterland. Modern weddings at urban industrial warehouse venues.
October’s Gold Coast 600 race is one of the biggest events of the year on the Gold Coast, attracting many tourists to the area. If you’re planning an October wedding on the Gold Coast, it may be helpful to check with your hotel bookings manager to ensure that the wedding date you’ve chosen won’t result in higher hotel accommodation rates and traffic congestion, both of which could be a nuisance for your wedding guests. The Gold Coast is also a very popular destination for Australian tourism during school holidays (mid-November to early December) and during the local Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival (May).
Should we consider any wedding venue locations near the Gold Coast?If you’re looking to get off the beaten path for your Gold Coast wedding, we’d recommend heading either into the Gold Coast hinterland for winery wedding venues and private estates, or extending your search to include the far north coast of NSW and the Byron Bay region. A Brisbane wedding could also be a great option for you, especially if you’re looking for historic wedding venues or a space that has a more urban warehouse feel.
