Sunshine Coast Hinterland Wedding Venue

A delightful new venue for Sunshine Coast Weddings is about to open and I had the opportunity for a sneak preview as I am to conduct a wedding there in a couple of weeks time. 


Camellia Place is in Palmwoods - just 15 minutes from Montville and 15 minutes from Maroochydore.  It was once a pineapple farm, and boasts a simply gorgeous homestead and stunning gardens.  There are some lovely locations within the garden to choose from for your ceremony.   The old pineapple packing shed has been renovated in an elegant though rustic style and makes a perfect location for a lively wedding reception. 
A wander along the meandering pathways of the gardens divulges opportunities for great photos.  The owners, Doreen & Peter, have included many whimsical yet authentic touches designed to give a creative photographer great scope.

If you think this may be just what you are looking for for your wedding ceremony and reception - please contact me and I'll put you in touch with Peter and Doreen at Camellia Place, Palmwoods.
 
My phone number is 0418 980500.

Why Montville as a wedding destination?

I was asked today by a friend, who is yet to visit Montville, just what makes Montville, Maleny and the general Hinterland a great wedding destination.  In a couple of moments I came up with:
  • Romance wherever you turn
  • Great accommodation for everyone - ranging from lovely budget level motels and cabins through to luxurious 6* resorts.
  • Spa treatments - massages, facials - all the treatment right there in you own room if that's what you want.
  • Everything you need for a small intimate wedding or a grand lavish affair is right here on the range- florists, hair & make-up artists, venues for your ceremony & reception, fantastic, award winning photographers and of course, yours truly, Montville's professional civil marriage celebrant.
  • Lots of things to do -from the bush on our doorstep to beach just 30 mins away.
  • Shopping to keep everyone happy - with regular 'hubby seats' to allow them to rest awhile.
  • Scrumptious food set in unbelievable surroundings.
And I could go on and on.

To think I live and work amidst all of this - how fortunate can one be.

Ceremonies to Remember - Montville

Simon and Beth were recently married at Clovelly Estate, Montville.  Theirs was a wedding with a difference, a unique ceremony, held under the sparkling jewels dangling from the branches of the ancient Jacaranda tree, containing touches of Celtic tradition combined with some Buddhist ideals.  Here's wehat they had to say afterwards about their cerlebrant:

Thanks guys - it was a real pleasure working with you.
