Local’s advice on accommodation in Cairns and surrounding areas.

Cairns Weddings

Cairns has long been sought after as a wedding destination, with selected wedding hot spots throughout the area, all of which have stunning views, a range luxurious accommodation (for the bride, groom & wedding party) and romantic trimmings.

Weddings in Cairns & Far North Queensland come in four main varieties:

1. Beach Weddings — We like Palm Cove, Trinity Beach and Four Mile Beach best
2. Church and Chapel Weddings — Try St Marys by the Sea, Cairns Chapel and Yungaburra Village Chapel
3. Garden Weddings — Cairns Botanic Gardens and Centenary Lakes are our favourites
4. Rainforest Weddings — Daintree rainforest, Cairns Highlands and Crystal Cascades are popular



The region has also been host to some of the most unique weddings ever, such as underwater weddings (popular with diving fanatics!), bunji weddings (I doooooooooooo) and yacht weddings. Soon to be married couples come from all over the world to exchange nuptuals here in Far North Queensland, and newlyweds will not find a more beautiful destination.

If you love the thoughts of a tropical wedding, then Cairns is definitely the destination you seek. Cairns has world class catering and reception services who are quite happy to serve on tables in the sand, or after walking 10 minutes into a lushly vegetated rainforest.

There are countless exotic and unique wedding locations in Cairns, and if you want a wedding that is a little bit different, then we encourage you to seek out these special spots. If you air your thoughts with a wedding planner or wedding organisation company, they can assist you in planning the perfect wedding.

We have compiled a range of Cairns wedding photographers, reception venues, luxury accommodation just for the newlyweds as well as a few wedding organisers who can help you arrange all the finer details.

Cairns Wedding Photography

Because wedding photography is one of the most demanding areas of professional photography, we recommend you thoroughly investigate the company and photographer you plan trust your wedding day to.

It is important to remember Cairns venues are challenges in themselves; glare on the water and sand at the beach, sometimes harsh sunlight, sometimes sweat beading upon the foreheads of wedding party and these weather conditions must be considered in choosing a wedding photographer. It is advisable to choose a Cairns wedding photographer for that reason, or at least a person experienced with wedding photography in Cairns.

Ensure you meet your Cairns wedding photographer before making your final decision, as you don't want to get to your big day and be worrying about a personality clash between your wedding party and your wedding photographer. Every wedding photographer has a unique style, and you should also closely examine different styles and decide on photography styles you like and ones your don't.

Shopping for a wedding photographer is not like selecting a gown or a bridal bouquet. You can see something tangible before you make your decision, when you're shopping for specific items like that. But in the selection of your photographer, you're often at the mercy of a super-salesperson and/or your own intuition. It seems as if PRICE is usually the main determining factor, even though there's NEVER going to be a second chance. Nor has there ever been anything written that gives you, the bride, a true guideline as to how to select the one person who could supply you with a heart full of memories to last a lifetime.
