There are many outdoor Sunshine Coast wedding venues that make the perfect location for a wedding ceremony, such as a beach, lush gardens, parkland, reserve, or hotel.

There will be a fee for this, and there will be specific rules and regulations in place to protect the natural landscape and green spaces.
This is in addition to the regular paperwork you will need if you come from a different country to get married in Australia. All of this can easily be arranged, and the permit for your wedding venue can be obtained easily from the local council.
