CATALINA WEDDINGS
A Perfect Wedding, on a boat with Catalina
Whether you want to plan every detail for yourself, or you need to lean on us for some help, it's the big day, we get it.
At Catalina, we don't just host weddings; we take pride in turning your unique vision into a day filled with perfect moments and lifelong memories. Our in-house events team will settle for nothing less. As Noosa’s premier floating wedding venue, we offer a boat wedding experience like no other.
Ceremony, celebration, or recovery, Catalina offers a seamless, unforgettable experience every step of the way.
Choose cruising with cocktails and dancing at golden hour. Choose show-stopping photos with a Noosa River and hinterland backdrop. Choose your day in the warm sun and cool breezes of our sub-tropical climate and have your first dance under a starlit sky. Choose to have it all and let us take care of every detail.
WHY CATALINA NOOSA
Catalina is a 20m power catamaran (it’s a boat) that is the ultimate unique and quintessentially Noosa venue for your day. Catering for up to 150 guests (including kids) and sprawling over two open and contemporary levels, we give you the power to decide whether to trim that invite list or not.
We have simple bespoke solutions for your Ceremony, Reception, Guest Transfer, After Party and Recovery Party all aboard Catalina. With flexible options for catering, beverages, timing, and the ability to collect your guests from multiple locations throughout Noosa, Catalina can take care of everything.
WEDDING TRANSFERS FROM NOOSA HEADS
Exchanging vows at one Noosa’s breathtaking beachfront ceremony locations?
We can berth (dock) at Noosa Woods Jetty only minutes from Maison La Plage, Hidden Grove, Casuarina Gardens and even Noosa Main Beach. Our team can chaperone your guests from Main Beach to the waiting Catalina, have champagne and cocktails waiting and have your whole party primed for your grand entrance.
(Just check out the photo below)
This also means that if you’re looking to transport your guests from Noosa Main Beach, or the Main Beach Foreshore, to Ricky’s on Noosa River, Noosa Boathouse, The Noosa Waterfront Restaurant or Noosa Marina we have got you covered in the most stylish of fashions.
RECOVERY PARTY
Even if you’ve got your venue locked and every minute of your wedding day planned out, there’s a recovery party filled with midday margaritas and sun-kissed spritz waiting for you aboard Catalina.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
We know how important it is to nail the details when it comes to catering your event. We take the stress out of catering aboard Catalina with a variety of simple, delicious packages curated to ensure no one leaves hungry or thirsty.
While Catalina lends itself best to a cocktail-style service of roaming canapés and substantials, seated dining can also be a spectacular option for smaller intimate groups. Accommodating all common dietaries, and providing cake-cutting service options, we’ll take care of everything.
Speaking of cocktails, why not let us mix things up a bit for your day? We’re not your standard two whites, one red, one sparkling kind of venue. Unless you want us to be of course? With welcome cocktails, flexible packages, vintage wines, and a selection of cocktails all available to amplify your day, we’ll ensure it’s exactly what you want.
From intimate weddings to stylish grand celebrations, our wedding boat provides the ideal setting for your wedding ceremony, reception, or as an elegant extra for an afterparty or recovery. Enjoy waterfront function spaces or beach front groves with beach access, ensuring a perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty for your special day.
Whether you're planning the ceremony, the celebration, or the recovery, Catalina offers a seamless, memorable experience for every moment of your wedding. Let Catalina be the wedding venue that makes your special day truly unforgettable.
