Howard Smith Wharves

The best Brisbane wedding venues offer stunning views, a variety of ceremony options, and unique indoor and outdoor reception spaces. Some even include onsite accommodation for your guests, making them the perfect destination wedding location. Choose from the city’s most elegant spaces, like Customs House and the City Botanical Gardens, or find a beautiful secluded country setting at Glengariff Historic Estate or Walkabout Creek.

If you prefer a waterfront venue, consider the Howard Smith Wharves. The riverside complex offers multiple spaces for ceremonies and receptions, including the Rivershed, which seats 360 seated or 595 standing. Other options include the quaint Bougainvillea House and Green House, which have smaller capacities and more intimate vibes.

Another option is Sandstone Point, which has several different ceremony locations on the pristine waterfront and offers packages that are tailored to every couple’s needs. The venue also has an open-air waterfront bar and world-class onsite accommodation.

If you want a luxury hotel wedding, the Emporium Hotel in Southbank has your back. This gorgeous hotel features the fairy tale Frangipani Ballroom venue and 143 award-winning boutique rooms. You can also opt for a luxury wedding at Ovolo Inchcolm, which offers opulent Art Deco spaces and bespoke catering.

Customs House

Customs House is one of Brisbane’s iconic heritage icons, and The University of Queensland’s premier downtown restaurant, function, and heritage destination. Its grand Corinthian columns are home to exquisite boardrooms, a stunning ballroom, and seminar rooms. Whether you’re hosting an elegant wedding reception in the Long Room or a more intimate celebration in the Art Gallery Room, the venue’s staff will be happy to help you create your dream event.

The venue’s in-house catering service provides a large selection of hot, cold, and sweet canapes; entrees; and main courses. You can also choose from four different beverage packages to customize your menu. In addition, you can add on extras like arrival cocktails and in-house spirits.

If you’re a beach lover, you can host your wedding on the beautiful Straddie beach. It’s a favourite holiday spot for locals, and the picturesque scenery is a perfect backdrop for your wedding photos. Alternatively, you can celebrate your wedding on the sand of another Queensland beach, such as Tangalooma Island Resort.

For a classic-style wedding, use roses as your floral centerpieces. These flowers are available in a wide range of colours and have a romantic, timeless appeal. They can be complemented with hydrangeas, anemones, and calla lilies. Other popular blooms include peonies, smilax, and eucalyptus. You can also incorporate greenery such as pittosporum, ivy, and dusty miller to your bouquets.

Walkabout Creek

Walkabout Creek is a unique wedding venue in Brisbane. It is located in D’Aguilar National Park overlooking Enoggera Reservoir. This is a beautiful natural setting less than half an hour from the city. It offers a great variety of photography backdrops and is perfect for rustic-inspired weddings.

The site has a cafe set on a large deck and is wheelchair-accessible. It also hosts Wild Encounters and Connect with Nature events for children, as well as Ranger-led talks on local flora and fauna. The café is open daily and serves lunch, snacks, coffee and ice cream.

This is a great venue for a small, intimate wedding. The Banksia Room can seat up to 60 guests seated and 120 standing. This room has sweeping views of the tranquil Enoggera Reservoir and is designed with a timeless elegance. The space also includes a timber dance floor and internal bathrooms. The venue’s all-inclusive packages include 6 hours of venue hire, a plated or shared-plates banquet, and gold-star catering and service.

The quirky hotel made famous in the Crocodile Dundee blockbuster is a must-see for visitors to north-west Queensland. It is decorated with memorabilia and cheeky jokes, and the worn wooden floors scuffed by thousands of boots and sliding chairs tell their own story. The hotel is a favourite of tourists and locals alike, and is often packed to the rafters on weekends and public holidays.

The Lussh

Built in 1925 in a location formerly known as the City of Lushington, The Lussh is a stunningly renovated warehouse space that exudes serious WOW factor. With exposed brick, four metre high ceilings and polished concrete floors this beautiful space has a wealth of character. Dramatic black steel framed glass doors open up onto an outdoor courtyard, framed by a striking cliff face on one side and lush date palms on the other. The paved garden area is the perfect setting for long lunches, cocktail events and parties under the stars.

This incredible wedding inspiration styled by Ivory Tribe channels all things luscious and romantic with a chic modern attitude. The gorgeous colour palette of soft and subtle neutrals with pops of vibrant pink were perfectly reflected through the stunning floral designs from Kate Dawes Flowers including the ceremony pillars, stunning bouquet, reception table arrangements, cocktail hour bar and the epic 4 tiered cake by Hansel and Gretel.

The Lussh is a unique and versatile venue that can be styled to suit both smaller cocktail events or more formal sit down dinners, as well as offering the flexibility of having your ceremony at the same location as your reception. This can be particularly beneficial in wet weather or for those couples wanting the ability to have both indoor and outdoor photo locations, with the large indoor space easily able to cater for both.
