The Whitsundays is simply breathtaking for your special day. For a traditional wedding choose from churches on the Whitsunday Coast or chapels on select islands. Many resorts boast beautiful function venues or you might combine your wedding ceremony and reception on a boat.
Beaches are a popular location to get married and the Whitsundays spoils you for choice. Couples can also hold their wedding ceremony in local parks and gardens offering stunning views.
With 74 tropical islands and a diverse coastline, you can be as creative as you like with spots to say "I do"!
- Marry under a swaying palm where the turquoise waters lap the shore
- In a unique island chapel set amongst a stunning panoramic backdrop
- On Whitehaven Beach with the pure silica sand between your toes
- At a poolside location overlooking surrounding islands
- Literally 'take the plunge' and scuba to your wedding ceremony off the back of a boat
