Tim and Sayaka chose Noosa for their wedding last year. Tim, an Australian, married his Japanese bride at the Hidden Grove after he brought her here on holiday and she fell in love with the area.

“You can’t beat the location,” said Tim who now lives in Japan. “We love the beach and the laid-back atmosphere. Noosa has a warm, intimate feeling and maintains a community atmosphere.”

The couple were impressed by the service they received from the local wedding professionals and so were their guests.

Noosa Wedding Organisation (NWO) Committee member Patricia Quinn said their positive experience was a direct reflection of the quality of the organisation that established 10 years ago.

Since its launch NWO’s vision has been to unite all Noosa wedding suppliers, to promote Noosa as a world-class wedding destination, and to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of business providers in Noosa has been highly successful. Along the way, its role has expanded: from a networking group, to a supportive group, assisting and promoting local businesses within an ethical framework.

The not-for-profit organisation also works with Tourism Noosa for the best possible outcome for its members and wedding visitors and the wedding industry brings more than $32m per year to the Noosa economy.

“Now the wedding industry here in Noosa is very well organised, friendly and inclusive,” celebrant and NOW co-founder Jacqui Gray said.

“We suppliers work well with each other and with other institutions to make the wedding experience the best it can be for couples.”
