What is included with bar service?

Bar service includes beer, wine, spirits, soft drink, juice and water.

Cocktail service is available upon request, as it depends on several factors, including the number of cocktails, their complexity, and the duration over which they are to be served. If our bar team believes it may impact service wait times, they may recommend an additional bartender to ensure a smooth and efficient experience.


Can we DIY our wedding vendors or styling?

Our business model is specifically designed to alleviate stress for couples. Research shows that attempting to DIY your wedding often creates more stress for the couple and their loved ones over time. We also collaborate with unique venues, often outdoors, so it’s essential that our team and stylists are not only trialed and tested, but also experienced in working with the elements. Additionally, we ensure that all products used are suitable, safe, and of the highest quality for our clients.

We offer flexibility with the vendor categories of photography, celebrant, and hair and makeup. You can choose from our trusted partner teams, or if you've already secured these services or prefer to work with someone specific, you're welcome to bring in your own.


When is the best time to get married?

Spring and autumn are widely regarded as the best times for a wedding in Queensland, thanks to their mild temperatures and lower likelihood of rain.

Winter in Queensland is considered mild compared to other parts of Australia, with cooler temperatures than summer but still relatively warm compared to other regions of the world. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor weddings, especially for those who prefer cooler weather. Winter also offers a lower chance of rain, making it ideal for an outdoor celebration. For outdoor weddings we recommend adding on heaters and a blanket basked to ensure your guests are warm and cozy in the evening.

Summer can also be a fantastic time for a wedding, depending on the location and the type of celebration you're planning. If you opt for a summer wedding, we recommend choosing a venue with ample shade and air conditioning to ensure your guests are comfortable throughout the day as QLD can get warm!


What will the timeline be?

We tailor your timeline by working backward from Golden Hour on your selected date, ensuring you capture your photos at the perfect sunset time.

Although this is our standard approach, we are more than happy to accommodate weddings at any time of day to suit your preferences.

Exact timings from start to finish depend on the experience you choose. We collaborate closely with each couple to create the perfect timeline for their special day.


What if it rains?

Some of our venues offer an onsite function room or balcony that we can move to in the event of wet weather. However, Beneath the Peak offers a stunning outdoor wedding experience, with marquee contingency options available. Marquees can be reserved at the time of booking or at a later date with a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is only due if you decide to proceed with the marquee on the week of the wedding.


What is the booking & planning process?

1. Submit your interest in working with us

2. Request a quote based on your preferred venue and experience

3. Book and attend a private viewing

4. Finalise your package, vendor team and any add-ons that you may like. We then work to align our team on your chosen date. Our booking forms and the first installment are due within 7 days. Your official wedding confirmation email will come through within 72hrs and your vendor team will begin reaching out to introduce themselves shortly after.

5. At approximately 3 months out from your wedding, we will schedule a meeting so we are able to finalise your run sheet and timeline. At one month out, we require final numbers, dietary requirements and details with an optional final call in the last two weeks prior to the big day.

The process may feel effortless, and if you’re not feeling the stress, that’s exactly how it should be.

Our carefully crafted experiences are designed to alleviate the pressure from the start, allowing you to fully embrace the journey. We've taken care of the details, so you can focus on enjoying this special time. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out—your peace of mind is our priority.

We offer unlimited email support throughout the planning process, and phone consultations are available by appointment. Simply use the link in our email signature to schedule your call.

On your wedding day, your dedicated coordinator will be onsite from midday until all
formalities are complete, ensuring everything runs smoothly and effortlessly.
