Intro
North Stradbroke Island is one of the largest sand islands in the world and is situated
within Moreton Bay, just one hour from Brisbane. The sub-tropical climate means
perfect weather conditions prevail almost all year round, so you can plan on a day
which includes clear blue sunny skies and comfortable weather conditions. The island is
easily accessible by both water taxi and vehicle ferry for the convenience of organising
your special day.
Whether you prefer the backdrop of rugged headlands, perfect white sandy beaches or
stunning seascape views, the island has a variety of locations that would be a wonderful
setting for your wedding photos.
The opportunity to be married at a beach location will provide a unique and individual
experience for both the wedding party and guests. Straddie, as it is affectionately known
by the locals, has a range of accommodation options to suit all of your needs.
A range of venues for both your ceremony and reception can be found on the island.
So whether you’re planning an intimate wedding with a small group of guests or a
lavish wedding with the lot, there is something to suit every taste and budget.
Have you ever imagined a wedding reception under the stars in a marquee, overlooking
the ocean and listening to the waves roll onto the beach? North Stradbroke Island can
make your dreams come true.
The reception venues can be as formal or informal as you like, with local native flora
as your centre pieces or an arrangement of beautiful shells set amongst creamy
white pearls.
All venues can cater for a variety of tastes and receptions. Maybe you would prefer a
BBQ breakfast or a more traditional plated menu – the variety is endless.
To make the organising of your wedding easy and enjoyable , every possible service
that you will need is available on the island. From the marriage celebrant, to the
entertainment, the wedding decorations and photography, there are a number of
professionals who can cater for your every need.
