Plan My Party

Getting a Cairns Reunion Organised

A reunion in Tropical North Queensland usually doubles as a holiday. Family members or old classmates fly in for a long weekend, so the gathering itself is one part of a bigger plan that takes in flights, accommodation and a day or two of reef, rainforest or beach time.

Pick the main event's venue to suit the group, then build the rest of the weekend around it.

Points to settle early:

  • Group size: an Irish pub and grill facing the beach at Palm Cove suits around 50 across a beachside deck and a cosy snug, while a two-storey Queenslander pub in Port Douglas takes parties of up to 150.
  • Budget: the Port Douglas pub function starts at a $1,500 minimum spend, so ask whether it covers food, drinks or both.
  • Photos: a photographer gathers everyone for the group shot that outlasts the night, with prices from $548.
  • Dates: dry-season weekends fill first, while a wet-season date can mean easier venue choice with a covered plan for storms.
  • Accommodation: guests deciding where to stay will want to know which area the main event is in.

Browse photographers and venues, and see transport to move the group between areas.

The city, the beaches or Port Douglas

  • Palm Cove and the Northern Beaches give a beach-holiday feel, with an esplanade of restaurants and bars close together.
  • Port Douglas suits a group making a longer trip of it, with Queenslander pubs, Four Mile Beach and the Daintree within reach.
  • Staying in the city keeps everyone near the airport, the Esplanade and the reef boats.
  • If guests are split across areas, a coach or minibus for the main night keeps everyone together and gets them home.

Shaping a reunion weekend

  • Send a save-the-date early so guests can line up flights and leave, especially for the dry season.
  • Keep the main gathering to one evening, with optional extras either side such as a reef day or a rainforest outing.
  • If you add a reef day, weather and sea conditions can move or cancel a trip, so check the rebooking terms.
  • Book the photographer for early in the event, before anyone leaves.
  • Plan a casual farewell breakfast for those flying out the next day.
