Happily ever after starts here…

Actually ‘happily ever after’ requires military precision planning. If you have been involved in a wedding you will know everything has to be perfect – invites, menu, music, photographers, entertainment, celebrants, bridal party and most important location.

The list is endless and making a start on the planning is a bit daunting. I’m not going to tell you how to plan a wedding…no, no, no, but I am going to tell you some of the best spots in Queensland to tie the knot.
