An emerging wedding trend is a lean into smaller more intimate weddings. We are seeing the traditional large weddings subsiding and people are seeing the importance of only having the very closest of family and friends with them on such a special and intimate day.
At Elope to Sunshine Coast, we have partnered with some amazing small venues, and we are very excited to be working with them to deliver gorgeous little weddings.
Today I'm going to share with you one of the venues that we adore and that is absolutely amazing and has the most wonderful hosts:
The Lakehouse Folk is set high on the hill on the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland and has gorgeous rolling hills and stunning views of Lake Baroon. Standing on the property, you feel like you are a million miles away and on top of the world in complete privacy!
Here are some of the reasons we love working here;
Wedding and accommodation

Stay and relax and Elope with your soul mate for a completely private and intimate celebration. Or get married with up to 12 of your closest friends/family. The property has two beautiful period cottages sleeping up to 10 people, restored and revived with modern features and touches. Every detail has been thoughtfully created so you can enjoy every moment of your special occasion. And did I mention a swimming pool?! Having a destination wedding is amazing and this way you aren't rushing all over town for each part of your day. Everything is in the one location and everyone can have a fabulous, relaxed day altogether!
Ceremony Location

The ceremony is down on the lawn on the hill and the owners supply the wedding arbour for you to marry in front of and guest seating, including a signing table and chairs. All you need to organise is some florals to go on the arbour and some other fun elements to elevate your day (that is where we come in!) The views from the ceremony location are out of this world, you feel like you could reach out and touch the mountains across from you and the lake views are spectacular. The bird life is amazing, you will see parrots and eagles. You will see no other people at all during your wedding at The Lakehouse Folk. The venue is exclusive to you and completely private. There is an option for you to have a reception lunch or dinner on the deck of one of the cottages after your ceremony, so you can celebrate your amazing day with your loved ones.
All Inclusive Packages

Elope to Sunshine Coast have thought of everything to make your wedding day absolutely seamless. We can organise everything wedding-related, celebrant, photographer, wedding planner/on-day coordinator, flowers, mobile hair and makeup, catering and anything else you have on your wish list. We have some incredible packages all ready to go for you!
The hosts Skye and James live in the stunning Queenslander that is to one side of the property and will be available should you need help with anything during your stay. They have a few farm animals, and of course you can't have a wedding without some snaps with the donkeys! And you might get some fresh eggs from the chooks.
Cost Effective

We love that the price is right for your intimate wedding! Keeping the costs to a minimum is of course, a priority so we love that you aren't ploughing all your earnings into just one day and saving some for your honeymoon or mortgage.
