If you’re planning your wedding on the Sunshine Coast, may we suggest for the ceremony a quaint charming chapel at Ilkley www.annabellatheweddingchapel.com.au or The Spirit House in Yandina for your ceremony and reception, or Flaxton Gardens at nearby Flaxton. Other wedding venues worthy are Spicers Clovelly Estate Montville and House of Laurels also in Montville.

For accommodation of course we would be delighted to host the Bride and Groom a the Escape House or the Arthouse.

We also recommend any of our art or cooking school experiences for fabulous and fun hen’s parties.
