About the venue

Essence Peregian Beach sits a short walk from the sand on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, with 32 rooms ranging from studios with biosphere and sunset views to five-bedroom luxury holiday homes sleeping up to 10.

Couples can hold an outdoor ceremony, then move to an indoor or outdoor reception seating 100 guests for a sated dinner or hosting up to 150 standing.

In-house catering, a private chef option and an on-site bar cover the food and drink, and the venue is a 15-minute transfer from Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY).

A full buyout is not required, so smaller celebrations are workable alongside regular guests.
