Brisbane’s Most Unique Wedding Venues

 

The capital city of the Southeast Coast, Brisbane, has everything from sunny beaches and islands to rolling hills, waterfalls, and rainforests. So, it’s no surprise that many lovebirds choose the city for their big day.

If you’re curious to see what makes Brisbane wedding venues unique, their backdrops and locations are a good guess, but there’s more to it. For instance, one venue is in an institute of art, while another is an actual yacht club! Do you want to go on a tour of Brisbane’s most unique wedding venues? Hop on!

1. The Bower Estate

The Bower Estate, Brisbane

Nestled between two National Parks, the Bower Estate has a breathtaking view of the rolling hills, greenery, and rainforest, which make for a perfect rustic garden wedding! The venue has that romantic ambience, thanks to its sparkly, clear marquee, fairy lighting, intimate bridal suite, and old fig tree.

The 120-acre estate features four stunning areas to split up your reception so it flows nicely, and can accommodate 10 guests overnight. Also, it comes with a 57-seater bus to take the stress out of guest transportation for those staying nearby.
