Wedding Venues in and Around Kirra

Right outside Kirra Point’s doorstep is the beautiful Kirra Beach House. This oceanfront venue is ideal for weddings with statement interiors, curated menus and breathtaking views. It’s equally suited to receptions, welcome drinks and recovery brunches. Inside, moody lighting and modern finishes set the tone. Outside, you’re just steps from the waves. 

Just 15 minutes away, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offers a wedding experience like no other. Set across 27 hectares of rainforest, lakes and open lawns (just 200 metres from the beach) it blends natural beauty with meaning and charm. Couples can arrive by miniature railway, spot wildlife among the trees, and create wedding moments that give back to this iconic not-for-profit sanctuary. Recognised as one of the region’s most unique venues, it’s a celebration space your guests will never forget.

Down on the shoreline, Kirra Beach offers a relaxed ceremony option for couples who love the simplicity of ocean air and bare feet in the sand. At low tide, the beach stretches wide, perfect for a minimalist ceremony with maximum natural beauty. Just apply for a permit online and let nature do its work.

At Ancora in Tweed Heads, modern Mediterranean design meets the water’s edge. Think light-filled interiors, a marble bar, and a breezy waterfront deck. Perfect for long-table dinners and cocktail hours by the water.

If you’re looking for something down-to-earth, Pioneer Country in Tweed Heads South is your answer. This working cattle property offers 170 private acres of open space, heritage architecture and relaxed country style. This venue has indoor and outdoor options, a friendly team, and an easy-going setup that makes room for personal character.

A short drive inland, The Valley Estate in Currumbin Valley is designed for big, timeless moments. The venue blends romance and drama across nine manicured acres. With its chapel, reception hall and private gardens, it offers everything you need for an elegant black-tie wedding.

Rustic luxury with a modern edge is Farm & Co Weddings’ specialty. This Cudgen venue delivers elevated farm charm in a stunning working farm setting. Ideal for golden hour ceremonies in sunflower fields, open-air receptions under festoon lights, and food straight from the paddock to your plate.

For a farm-style celebration with an elegant polish, Plantation House at Tropical Fruit World sets the scene. Overlooking orchards and distant hills, this venue has been newly renovated and offers a relaxed yet refined canvas for all kinds of wedding celebrations.

A venue that’s both modern and naturally beautiful, Osteria Weddings offers ambient garden spaces and an industrial-style reception hall.
