Elope to Sunshine Coast - European Soiree

Up to 38 guests + the wedding couple for your wedding day. Accommodation for up to 16 people including the wedding couple.

European Character Filled Estate for Micro Weddings

Set against the backdrop of acres of rolling hills, this gorgeous property is more than just a venue—it's a place to escape, unwind, and celebrate. It's a stunning space where guests can stay and enjoy the wedding festivities for days, extending the joy and creating a village atmosphere where friends and family can relax and feel at home. Surrounded by nature and tucked away in the tranquil Sunshine Coast Hinterland, there's no need to leave; everything you need to make your wedding day extraordinary is right here.

At the heart of the venue is the stunning European-inspired chapel, where couples exchange vows in a romantic, intimate setting. The atrium provides the perfect space for your reception, complete with a dance floor to keep the celebrations going. And for that authentic European touch, a beautiful stone ruin adds character and charm to your wedding photos. Every space across the property offers versatility, allowing you to personalise your celebration and bring your wedding vision to life.

What truly sets this experience apart is that you're not simply booking a venue - you're gaining your own dedicated wedding planner. From the moment you secure your date, we'll be by your side to guide you through every step of the planning journey. We'll coordinate the details, connect you with our trusted local suppliers, answer your questions, keep everything on track, and ensure nothing is overlooked.

When your wedding day arrives, all you need to do is relax, soak up every moment, and celebrate with the people you love. We'll be quietly working behind the scenes to bring everything together seamlessly, creating a beautifully organised, stress-free experience that feels effortless from beginning to end. It's the difference between simply having a wedding and truly enjoying every moment of it.

Sheryl is an absolute wonder of a woman! From our very first inquiry right through to the big day a mere six weeks later, her communication was fantastic - always clear, supportive, and on point. On the day itself, she kept everything running seamlessly and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing, her crew had it all completely under control and the vibes were high. She even managed the near-impossible task of keeping the bride fed and watered! Sheryl pulled everything together beautifully and went above and beyond with each aspect of our wedding, recommending brilliant additional vendors like evening caterers and transport outside the standard package. Each and every one of her suggestions were stellar. We honestly cannot speak highly enough of our experience. Sheryl made it all feel effortless and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side.
