A wedding in the far north is usually a destination wedding, with guests flying in and staying a few nights, so the planning reaches well beyond the reception. Celebrants, planners, florists, stylists and photographers here work across the coast, and most cover Port Douglas as readily as the city.
The suppliers to line up, roughly in this order:
Ask each supplier how they charge for travel to Port Douglas or the Tablelands, as the approach varies from one business to the next.
As soon as the date is set. The legal notice of intended marriage has a minimum lead time before the ceremony, and celebrants book out for dry-season Saturdays like every other supplier.
Some offer complete packages, from $3,947, covering the ceremony, styling and coordination, while others run the day only. Ask what each package includes and what costs extra.
Yes. A large sailing catamaran on Trinity Inlet takes up to 120 guests, and Port Douglas has smaller charters for a sunset sail. Agree a backup time or onshore plan in case of weather.
Starting prices on this page run from $548 to $2,500, depending on hours and coverage. Ask whether travel to Port Douglas or the Tablelands is included.
Yes, a vintage-caravan mobile bar with trained staff serves your own drinks, from $1,500. Check the property allows it and who supplies the ice and glassware.
Most cover the city, the Northern Beaches, the Southern Suburbs and Port Douglas, while fewer list Kuranda and the Tablelands. Ask about travel charges for anything outside the metro areas.
