So you have been dreaming about a destination wedding
ever since you met the absolute love of your life in that bar
you finally decided to try… or that movie you had been
meaning to see… or even by swiping right on tinder (no
judgement) & you fell hopelessly in love.
Then it happens and the love of your life gets down on
one knee & you can finally start planning… except you
have no idea where to start.
The realisation of the time it will take you to plan your
dream destination sinks in…You start to feel the sand
slipping away, you can no longer taste the banana-berry-
licious cocktail or feel the sun on your skin. In a panic you
jump onto the internet to find that Destination Wedding
company who heard raving reviews about from a friend of
a friend & soon realise they are exactly what you need.
We are Viva Destination Weddings and
we are here to bring your dream
wedding to life!

QUEENSLAND –
Queensland is home to some of the nicest beaches in Australia (*sigh from other states!). The Sunshine State offers picturesque
beaches, breathtaking landscapes and fantastic weather. The Gold and Sunshine Coasts offer some amazing options with flexibility,
and The Whitsundays are fabulous for those tropical island getaways, making you feel truly on holiday!
If your wedding is in the summer months, remember that this is storm season so be prepared with an alternative venue, and also
remember that the sand can actually burn bare feet.
NEW SOUTH WALES –
The Hunter Valley, hosts a myriad of incredible quality wedding venues to choose from. Offering stunning scenery, spectacular winery
views, as well as yummy gourmet wine and food making it an easy choice for romantic options to exchange your vows!
Sydney is blessed with an amazing harbour famed around the world, allowing for iconic and stunning photography options. Follow
your wedding with a sunset cruise around the harbour to celebrate your union.
VICTORIA –
Enjoy the perfect serenity of Victoria's famous Great Ocean Road, a region well known for its fresh produce from both sea and land.
Or visit Australia’s home of prosecco and amazing cheese – the King Valley. If you want something a little different, consider having a
winter wedding on the snow, or atop a mountain at Falls Creek! Ultimately Victoria can offer you a wide choice of styles and locations,
especially if you want a cosy winter wedding.
Melbourne is the culinary home of Australia, imagine having your wedding in a restaurant owned by a famous chef! If food and wine
are important to your ideal wedding, then definitely look at this eclectic and cosmopolitan city.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA –
The Margaret River Wine Region is about 280 km south of Perth, lapping the Indian Ocean. The whole area has a lovely temperate
climate, so no hot summers or cold winters, so you can have a lovely wedding year-round. Combining vineyards with ocean views, and
a beautiful climate – the perfect choice!
Broome, in the top end of WA was named after the telegraph cable that connected to Indonesia in 1889. 6km from Broome is the
stunning Cable Beach, famous for the 22km of white sand and clear blue water, as well as spectacular Kimberley sunsets. The most
iconic image of Cable Beach are the camels, that can be hired for your wedding – bit different from your usual limo!
