For couples looking to tie the knot on a budget, the Sunshine Coast offers a variety of affordable venue options that don't compromise on style. Small, intimate venues are a great way to save, whether you're planning a charming garden ceremony or a laid-back beach wedding.
Many venues also offer DIY or BYO packages, which can significantly reduce costs. By bringing in your own caterers, drinks, and décor, you have the flexibility to stay within your budget while still creating a personalised day. Beach and garden venues in areas like Maroochydore and Caloundra are often more budget-friendly, providing beautiful settings without the high price tag.
For instance, the Sandstone Point Hotel offers a versatile array of choices with tailored packages, allowing for cost-effective customisation alongside onsite accommodation.

For example, Glass House Country Weddings provides breathtaking mountain-view properties with ample space for marquees, tipis, or sperry tents, offering all-inclusive packages and excellent wet-weather solutions.
