Wedding venue hunting is often the most overwhelming part of the planning process, but the Trail makes it seamless. With 9 beautiful Tweed Coast venues open for self-guided tours on the same day, you can compare your favourites, take notes, get a feel for each space and streamline your decision-making.
From coastal luxury to hinterland charm, you’ll see it all in just a few hours. Many couples lock in their venue directly on the day!

Florists, planners, photographers, videographers, celebrants, stylists, transport, entertainment and more, the Tweed Wedding Trail brings together over 100 talented local creatives, ready to help bring your dream day to life.
It’s the perfect chance to meet the people behind the Instagram profiles, ask questions, feel the vibe and create your very own wedding dream team.
The best part is that most of the suppliers will also have discounts and specials for those that attend on the day. So, a day out plus saving on your wedding day = winning!

You’ve saved a million photos on Pinterest, but nothing compares to seeing it in real life.
The Trail is completely interactive – sit on the chairs, touch the linens, hear the musicians, taste the cakes, feel the magic.
You’ll walk away with clarity on what you love, what you don’t and how to bring your vision to life. We bet you will have most of your wedding day ideas and inspiration locked in!
5. Make a Day of It

This day is about fun as much as it is about planning. Bring your partner, your parents or your whole bride tribe and turn the Trail into a summer road-trip adventure.
Cruise from venue to venue, grab coffees, enjoy a long lunch, soak up the sunshine and make some seriously special memories along the way. Why not stop and find your location photo spots too!
6. Plan Your Entire Wedding in One Day

Get your crew together and blitz it.
