It’s no secret that we love planning and organising epic bucks parties, but we reckon the wedding is pretty important too! Just like the perfect bucks party looks different to everyone, so does the ideal wedding.Â
One of the most significant considerations in the whole planning process is the wedding venue. From lush hinterland homes to unique beachfront settings, the list of options on the sunny Gold Coast is pretty much endless.Â
After chatting to plenty of soon-to-be-grooms and even lending a hand with wedding plans, we’ve been lucky enough to see some of these beautiful local spaces for ourselves. Picking our favourites was kinda like picking a favourite beer – they’re all pretty damn good, but there are always a few that will have your heart.Â
To get you started on the wedding venue hunt, here are our top wedding venues on the Gold Coast.

If you’re after a location with a view, look no further than Kirra Hill Community Centre. Located on top of the iconic Kirra Hill, wedding guests will be treated to uninterrupted views of Coolangatta Beach, the Gold Coast skyline and beyond.Â
Offering plenty of open space, this venue is another great pick for anyone dreaming of an outdoor and sprawling celebration. Set up marquees and tents on the grass, hang lights from the trees and scatter barrel and bar tables across the lush grass.Â
Kirra Hill Community Centre also offers an indoor reception space which is an excellent backup option for if the weather isn’t on your side. This intimate, restored cottage is spacious enough to welcome all your guests but big enough to host a party worthy of the history books.
Location: 1 Garrick Street, Coolangatta 4225 QLD.
Summergrove Estate, CaroolÂ

Summergrove Estate is about as Instagrammable of a location as you’ll ever find. No matter how many times we visit the venue, it still takes our breath away. The white timber barn and quaint chapel are perched upon a rolling green hill in Carool, which provides a panoramic hinterland and ocean view.Â
Inside, the exposed timber beams and panelled walls maintain an eclectic vibe, while the neutral colours allow the couple to give the space a flair of their own. It’s found just 15km from Coolangatta Airport and just over the border into New South Wales, but you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another world.
Location: 363 Carool Road, New South Wales Australia 2486

Gilston Manor, GilstonÂ

Gilston Manor is just like the groom’s fiancé – it ticks all the boxes. This luxury mansion is hidden in a secluded section of the Gold Coast Hinterland on more than 20 acres of gardens. The sprawling property can be dressed to suit every style of wedding, but it’s the modern luxe poolside vibes that really attract attention.Â
There are on-site group accommodation options, or you can also opt for glamping! This unique opportunity will allow guests to boogie the night away, sip on cocktails by the pool and truly make the most of their time, before retreating back to their private tent, marquee or tipi. To keep the glamping theme going, similar arrangements can also be made to host the reception in a marquee or tipi. Who says camping couldn’t be glamorous?!
