Noosa Elopements

Weddings aren’t for everyone, we get it. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate your special day… Introducing Noosa elopements, Catalina style. If a small, intimate celebration with a cocktail in hand is more your thing, we’re here to make your faux wedding wishes come true. 

Sure, there are plenty of locations around Noosa where you can tie the knot next to beautiful waterfront settings. But where else can you say “I do” from atop the pristine Noosa River? 

From stunning hinterland backdrops and sunset spritz to star-lit skies, make your elopement a day to remember aboard the MV Catalina. Choose to celebrate your love one-on-one in true elopement style or invite your nearest and dearest for an ultra-luxe micro wedding vibe on a boat. 

Are you wondering how to go about planning your Noosa nuptials? Cast your eyes over our Noosa wedding checklist to help you prepare for your special day. Otherwise, if you’d prefer to leave the finer details of your elopement to the professionals, get in touch with our team of event pro’s to help you plan your magical elopement experience. 

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, 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.

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.

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 with Noosa Boathouse beach access, ensuring a perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty for your special day.

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.
