Sara-Jane loves Sam | Tiffany’s Maleny Wedding

Tiffany's Maleny Wedding _ Maleny Wedding _ Sunshine Coast wedding

It was their local football/netball club that brought them together. This eventually lead to a fateful weekend away in Kingscliff, where Sam proposed. 

Although Covid was the biggest wedding planning challenge they faced, with guests flying in from out of state, they managed to get 85 of their loved ones together to celebrate their union. 

Sara-Jane and Sam were married in the chapel at Tiffany’s Maleny, then their guests stayed on for a reception on site in the dining room. Our friends at Raconteur Photography were there to capture all the precious moments from the first morning champagne pop to the first dance.

Sara-Jane has shared her wedding day story, and some of the planning process below.

Wedding Planning Priorities

The setting and the feel had to be right for us. A place with a beautiful setting to remember our special day and that our guests could enjoy as well.

The Location

We got married here because Sunshine Coast has so much to offer. A holiday destination for our guests. Beach, and not far away is beautiful hinterland. Tiffany’s Maleny had a perfect setting over looking the glass house mountains.

Photography destination only two mins away from venue and everything was planned and taken care of at the venue – ceremony, canapés and reception.

Everything was taken care of by professional staff. Made planning the day stress free.
