So I told you all how G and I came up with our venue. Thought I'd share some more of our choices on the Sunshine Coast.
- Surfair Resort. You probably all know that this is what we decided on. We knew it was us as soon as we walked through the doors. The resort is all white outside, evoking memories of the Mediterranean. Inside, it's very modern. While I wasn't too fussed about the function room at the start, I loved the surrounds.
Two of the three buildings at Surfair. Ps: that's the penthouse on the top floor.
Where we're having our ceremony - on the dunes in front of the resort, looking over the beach.
There are many new packages at Surfair, so I won't comment too much on them. You can have your reception in the Spinnaker room (which we're going with), the restaurant, or the penthouse.
We are going with a sit-down package with standing canapes and antipasto platters for guests, and alternate serve mains, with our wedding cake for dessert (plus our lolly bar). This is costing us $110 per head, and includes a 3 hour drinks package, as well as our reception decorations. More information is on their website here.
- Waterfront Restaurant, Noosaville. Beautiful surrounds, with a gorgeous deck area looking over the river. The focus here is on gourmet meals in a relaxed setting. You can get married on the grass out the front of the restaurant, in the park nearby, or at one of the many beaches a short drive away.

You can have a cocktail function (from $79 per head) or sit down function (from $89 per head). Drinks packages start from $55 per head. More details on their website here.
- Rydges Oasis Resort, Caloundra. This place we hadn't actually seen in person - I just made an appointment after a friend recommended it. I will reserve my comments on this place for now. They can accommodate both cocktail (from $35 per head) and sit down functions (from $125 per head). They have a few different function areas - the restaurant (which is over the lagoon, but a little dark), the larger function room (which is light and airy but a little bit tired), a marquee in "the paddock", and a small function room (which is TINY). You can find out more information from their website here.

The last place just wasn't "us". It didn't have the same atmosphere as Surfair.
We also looked at a few places at Mooloolaba but they were the ones that never got back to us. I'm definitely not going to waste my time talking about them!
