AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
From enquiry to the final farewell, Coral Sea delivers a stunning water-side setting with a ceremony space that guests still rave about and a reception that many loved for its food, drinks, and seamless flow. The coordination team, planners, and on-the-day managers are consistently responsive, flexible with changes, and incredibly organised, which helps couples relax and enjoy their day. Accommodation is outstanding, and the resort atmosphere adds a special getaway vibe for you and your guests. The overall experience is warm, professional, and guest-focused. A small note: for some couples the reception layout may not be perfect, so check fit for your plan.

March 2026

Our event organiser Chloe was wonderful, from set up to bride arrival was perfect. The beach location was perfect and the food was so yummy. Only negative point I have is after our ceremony, only one of our songs was played, then it was some guy with an acoustic guitar that not only played so loud that our wedding Guests struggled to hear conversations, but he played a terrible song list. We should have had priority. We paid thousands for our wedding and accommodation, and Coral Sea Resort only played one song. The wedding the day before had at least six songs played.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that Chloe helped make your day run smoothly and that you enjoyed the beach location and food — we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to her and the team. We’re really sorry to hear that the music following your ceremony didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important those moments are, especially on such a special day. The live musician performing in the venue is part of the resort’s regular entertainment, however we appreciate that the timing and volume impacted your experience and the atmosphere you were hoping for after your ceremony. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will certainly be shared with our team as we continually review how we manage entertainment around private events. Thank you again for celebrating with us, and we truly wish you both all the very best as you start this new chapter together.

If we are waiting for two years before we get married, how far in advance should I look at/book the venue?

Congratulations on your engagement, that is super exciting! We can plan your wedding in 4 weeks, however we do find most couples will book 12-18 months in advance. Did you have a date in mind?

Do we seat couples opposite or next to each other on a long table?

It's a garden setting. We want to allow better mingling

Coral Sea Resort

This absolutely comes down to your personal preference, however generally speaking, we would recommend that couples sit next to each other on a the long table. We suggest mid way on one of the sides as this means you are next to each other for intimate chats, and also able to more easily chat with others around you. 

Do most venues offer menu tastings?

What's the typical setup for a menu tasting for a wedding venue?

Coral Sea Resort

We absolutely do offer menu tastings, it is $75.00pp for a 2 course tasting or $88.00pp for a 3 course tasting.
