Noosa is one of the most beautiful parts of the planet, and people travel from all over the world to get married here. It truly is a little piece of paradise. Nobody knows this better than Kelly and Jarrod, who planned their dream destination beach wedding from Adelaide in South Australia.
Planning a wedding from over 2000 kilometers (1400 miles) away has its challenges, but Kelly and Jarrod navigated this successfully with the help of Sunshine Coast wedding planners and stylists, CL Weddings & Events. Their beautiful ceremony was conducted at Hidden Grove by the lovely celebrant, Lynette Maguire, and their reception followed at Sails Restaurant.
Their simple elegant affair, punctuated with perfect weather of blue skies and sunshine, was captured beautifully by Katja Anton – AKA Weddings.

“My dad drove me down the aisle on a Harley Davidson – his dream!“
“My bridesmaids were amazing throughout the planning – always offering to help and research things for me. Even up to the night before the wedding, when I still hadn’t planned any music for the ceremony. They were lifesavers and put a playlist together for me.”
