There’s something about Noosa that just works for weddings. Maybe it’s the way the light hits the water at sunset, or how you can have a ceremony by the beach and dinner by the river all within minutes. Whatever it is, wedding venues in Noosa keep drawing couples back. And honestly, we get it.
If you’re planning a Noosa wedding, you’re probably juggling a lot right now. Finding the right venue is just the start. Then there’s figuring out where everyone’s going to stay, where the bridal party can get ready without tripping over each other, and how to make sure your guests actually enjoy the whole weekend.
We’ve pulled together a guide to some of Noosa’s standout wedding venues, plus the kind of accommodation that makes the entire experience feel special.
Best Noosa wedding venues to watch out for
Noosa Boathouse
Add a wow-factor to your wedding
Location: 194 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville
Capacity: 30-220 guests (depends which space you choose)
Vibe: Waterfront elegance with those Noosa sunset view
If you’ve started researching Noosa wedding venues, you’ve probably already come across Noosa Boathouse. There’s a reason it keeps appearing in everyone’s Pinterest boards.
Floating on the Noosa River at Noosaville, this three-level venue has that wow factor that’s hard to describe. The River Room is the main space — think floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the water, room for 130 people for a sit-down dinner (or 220 for cocktails), and sunsets that genuinely do look like someone’s applied a filter to real life.
If you want something more intimate, the Sunset Bar on the top floor fits about 100 guests and has probably the best views in the venue. For smaller celebrations, there’s the Eastern Deck — right on the water’s edge, away from the main restaurant, perfect for groups up to 30.
The food’s excellent (modern Australian with a focus on local seafood and seasonal produce), and they’ve got a private jetty if you want to make an entrance by boat.
A few practical details: there’s no venue hire fee, but there is a minimum spend that varies depending on your date and guest numbers. The team’s been doing this for years, and couples consistently mention how smooth everything runs on the day.
Maison La Plage Grove
For a natural & private, beachfront wedding
Location: Claude Bat Park, Hastings Street (Noosa Heads)
Capacity: Up to 120 guests for a ceremony
Vibe: Coastal garden charm with ocean views just beyond the trees
Tucked between the beach and the boardwalk in Noosa Heads, this open grove delivers the best of both worlds: the ocean only steps away, and a natural, private feel that’s hard to find on Hastings Street.
It’s a popular ceremony spot for good reason. Picture saying your vows beneath the pandanus trees, ocean breeze drifting through, and the sound of the waves as your background track. The grove is big enough to host around 120 guests comfortably, but still feels intimate thanks to its leafy surrounds. Most couples pair it with a nearby reception venue like Bistro C or the Surf Club Noosa — so you can walk from ceremony to celebration without needing transport.
Décor-wise, it’s a blank canvas: think floral arbours, timber benches, soft linen accents, or simple modern setups that let the scenery do the work. There’s power access, public amenities nearby, and the Noosa Council ceremony permit process is straightforward.
Hidden Grove
Postcard-perfect Noosa views
Location: End of Hastings Street, Noosa Heads
Capacity: Up to 100 guests
Vibe: Secluded coastal elegance with ocean views through the trees
Nestled among the trees but still overlooking Main Beach, Hidden Grove gives you those postcard-perfect Noosa views without feeling like you’re on display. It’s close enough to the sand that you can hear the waves, but private enough that you won’t have beachgoers wandering through your ceremony.
It’s a favourite for couples chasing that “barefoot luxury” vibe — relaxed, natural, but still polished. The space comfortably fits up to around 100 guests, and with the sun setting behind the trees, the light in the late afternoon is gorgeous for photos. Because it’s so popular, you’ll want to lock it in early. It’s often booked months ahead, especially in spring.
Permits are handled through Noosa Council (the online process is simple), and most couples pair the ceremony here with a reception nearby — Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, Bistro C, or Noosa Surf Club are all within a short walk.
Noosa Woods
Effortless riverside luxury amid Noosa’s evergreen charm
Location: Noosa Woods, end of Hastings Street (beside the Noosa River)
Capacity: Flexible: small or large groups
Vibe: Relaxed riverside charm with classic Noosa greenery

Noosa Woods is the alternative if you’re worried about wind (October weddings in Noosa can get a bit breezy on the beach). This one’s beside the Noosa River instead, with open grassy areas and a wooden jetty that’s lovely for photos. It’s more protected from the elements but still has that natural Noosa feel. No size limit here, so it works for larger weddings too.
Both spots are within walking distance of each other and close to Hastings Street reception venues, which makes the logistics easier. Just remember you’ll need a permit from Noosa Council for either location, and they’re popular, so don’t leave it until the last minute.
Wedding Venues in Noosa: Properties for Guests & Bridal Party Accommodations
Here’s what nobody tells you about destination weddings: the venue is only half the story. Where your bridal party gets ready, where your parents stay, and where your guests settle in for the weekend. All of that matters just as much.
You could book everyone into a standard hotel. Or you could give them somewhere that actually adds to the wedding weekend, not just a place to sleep. Somewhere with space to spread out, a kitchen for morning-after breakfasts, and views that make people understand why you chose one of the best wedding venues in Noosa in the first place.
That’s where the right accommodation makes all the difference.
La Mer 8
Beachfront luxury made effortless
Best for: Bridal party getting ready, pre-wedding photoshoots
Sleeps: 6 guests
Location: Right on Main Beach, walking distance to everything

This three-bedroom apartment sits directly on Main Beach — and when we say directly, we mean you can hear the waves from the balcony.
The interiors are gorgeous and properly designed with that beachy-luxe feel that photographs beautifully. The master suite has its own balcony overlooking Hastings Street, which is perfect for those champagne-and-getting-ready photos. The bedrooms are separated enough that everyone gets their own space, but the open-plan living area brings people together when you actually want to hang out.
The apartment is adults-only and there’s a heated pool and spa in the complex, you’re steps from the beach, and Hastings Street dining is right there.
Practical notes: the kitchen is big enough if you need catering brought in, and there’s lift access (good for anyone in heels carrying garment bags). The whole setup just works for getting ready without feeling cramped.
Hastings Park 8
Relaxed. Refined. Perfectly Noosa
Best for: Groom’s party, extended wedding party stays
Sleeps: 7 guests
Location: End of Hastings Street (lift and inclinator access)

This apartment sits at the quieter end of Hastings Street. It’s been recently renovated with a coastal look that feels relaxed but still smart.
Three bedrooms, all on the upper level, with the living space downstairs. The kitchen’s got all the new appliances, including one of those SMEG coffee machines, and there’s a ZIP tap with sparkling water (which is surprisingly useful when you’re getting ready in Noosa heat). The bifold doors open the whole space up to a big terrace with bay views.
Here’s a nice touch: the garage is stocked with paddleboards, surfboards, and boogie boards. So if your groomsmen want to hit the beach early before suiting up, they can. The master bedroom has its own balcony — a good spot for a quiet moment or sunset drinks after everything’s done.
There’s a reception desk during weekdays if you need anything, plus you get access to Niche’s concierge service for restaurant bookings and local recommendations.
Mykonos Luxury Villa
Mediterranean charm meets Noosa ease
Best for: Large wedding parties, families, multi-generational groups
Sleeps: 8 guests
Location: Sunshine Beach, 10 minutes from Noosa

If you’ve got a bigger group (parents, siblings, kids, the whole extended family) this four-bedroom villa at Sunshine Beach is worth looking at. It sleeps eight, and every bedroom has its own ensuite, which eliminates the morning bathroom queue situation entirely.
The style is Mediterranean-inspired (hence the name). There are multiple outdoor entertaining areas, including a rooftop with a BBQ and views, an outdoor fireplace for cooler nights, and a heated pool. The villa’s about a ten-minute drive from Noosa Beach and you can walk to Sunshine Beach, so you’re close but not right in the middle of everything.
It’s perfect for pre-wedding gatherings and post-wedding brunches, with all the space and amenities you need to bring everyone together. Plus, it’s genuinely family-friendly (table tennis, beach toys, Cool Cabana shade) so guests of all ages feel at home. The concierge service helps with restaurant bookings and activity suggestions, which is handy when you’ve got different age groups trying to plan their days.
