We’ve hunted down Brisbane’s most beautiful wedding venues that will have you saying ‘I do’ long before you’re asked, because planning a wedding is no walk in the park. Unless, of course, you’re planning a wedding in a park. Anyway, congrats!
Victoria Park | Herston
Look out to the city, embrace the rolling greens and celebrate your special day at Victoria Park. The stellar team and your dedicated wedding planner will guide you through the process from start to finish, helping you pick from an array of venues with city and parkland views that cater for intimate elopements of 15 to large-scale weddings of 400 and seasonal menus and drinks packages to suit every taste. We guarantee your day will be a hole in one.
Walkabout Creek | Enoggera Reservoir
Looking over the breathtaking Enoggera Reservoir, Walkabout Creek provides a lush rainforest setting within half an hour of Brisbane City. Three ceremony areas – The Lakeview, The Rainforest, and The Ceremony Lawn – make stunning locations for a natural affair, while reception spaces range from cosy rooms with fireplaces to the massive deck (which can seat 300-odd guests!). The team will work with you to ensure your dream day comes to life without breaking the bank.
The Joinery | West End
Nothing is more West End-chic than hosting your wedding at The Joinery – a rustic urban space inside an expansive warehouse with a striking lattice façade. This is truly a blank canvas just waiting to come alive for your special day. It’s BYO alcohol with space for up to 200 guests, and the catering is all sorted with Chez Nous Catering. The opportunities are endless at The Joinery…only the roof is your limit.
Rydges South Bank | South Bank
Imagine exchanging your vows with the stunning Brisbane cityscape and serene river as your backdrop. Rydges South Bank’s Level 12 Rooftop boasts unparalleled views and can be customised to reflect your unique style and vision, whether you prefer a classic, romantic setting or a contemporary, chic atmosphere. You can tell the team has experience, as they’ve put together all-inclusive packages that’ll ensure you tie the knot without a hitch. From sit-down dinners to luxe cocktail receptions, you’ll be treated to award-winning cuisine, tailored to your tastes.
Loyal Hope | Fortitude Valley
Bordering a park and nestled under the shade of a giant Moreton Bay fig, Loyal Hope is the ideal wedding venue for those looking to get married in the City. The heritage-listed space is perfect for a formal dining or cocktail-style reception. They can even host the ceremony beforehand, so your guests don’t have to travel (bonus). There are plenty of designer-furniture pieces, AV and styling onsite… all included in the hire. You’d think you were in the country, yet the venue is only metres from vibrant James and Brunswick Streets in the heart of Fortitude Valley. Each hire has exclusive use, so this beautiful space is all yours.
Patina Restaurant | Alumni Court, St Lucia
The lush garden of Alumni Court is perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies, and you can wander through the iconic sandstone walls of the University of Queensland’s Great Court for your photo moments before holding your reception inside Patina Restaurant’s green dining space. With the same team from Customs House at the helm, you can expect grandeur and grace in all aspects of your wedding day. Patina’s Executive Chef, John Offenhauser (previously Chef de Cuisine and Marco Polo at the Treasury Hotel) oversees the fare, providing top-notch catering with paddock-to-plate philosophy.
Honourable Mention: Beyond Brisbane
Fleay’s | Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast
If you’re looking to get amongst nature and outside Brisbane, this Gold Coast gem is a head-turner. A sanctuary for intimate elopements and exclusive weddings, Fleay’s newly renovated ceremony and reception spaces invite you to say your vows among some of Australia’s most unique and unspoiled nature in David Fleay Wildlife Park, Burleigh Heads. The events team and catering crew are backed by decades of experience, with plenty of package options to suit your dream day.
There’s nothing more exciting than flashing that brand new ring, raising a glass with friends, and knowing that, in a short time, you’ll have a legal document that orders your partner to go halfsies on every meal.
