Wedding Cruise
It’s your day, it’s your boat, it’s your choice.
It’s the most special event of your lives. Don’t settle for less than what you really want.
For a unique Noosa wedding, relax and enjoy the ever-changing, ever-beautiful views of the Noosa River on board the Noosa Cruiser – all our food is prepared and cooked on board fresh, unlike on other boats.
From a pre-wedding breakfast to a champagne and canapé transfer, from a beach wedding to an evening reception, casual dining buffets to luxury sit-down meals, sunset cocktail receptions to a themed dinner and dance, from hen parties and buck’s nights to pre-wedding family get-togethers – we assure you of unparalleled customer service.
Love, laughter and great food: we’ll enjoy hosting your wedding celebrations almost as much as you!
Wouldn’t it be great to have an excuse not to invite Great Aunt Ethel and all those relatives you haven’t heard of for years?
Well now you do!
The Noosa Cruiser is surveyed to carry 48 passengers and seats 40 for a sit-down dinner.
You can use us as your excuse to keep your wedding intimate and affordable!
We tailor-make your wedding for you – not just the wedding reception, but the wedding ceremony too. We don’t agree with charging a premium for weddings just because everyone else does. Our prices are based on the standard public river cruise prices and the charter prices are the same for other leisure or corporate charters.
Here are some ideas, but feel free to contact us to discuss your own personal requirements.

Would you prefer a more casual wedding dining cruise? Our buffets (max 48 guests) are served in waves, to ensure cold food stays cold and hot food stays hot. Or perhaps just a selection of canapés?
Call us or submit an online enquiry and we’ll contact you.
Wedding Transfers
We work with many local, river-side restaurants who also service wedding receptions. Why not marry then have a short “cocktails and canapés” cruise, before continuing with main course and dessert at one of our partner restaurants?
Pre-wedding “meet and greet” cruises, or “Survivors’” cruises
It’s often a great idea to get your guests together before the wedding itself. Perhaps the families haven’t all met before? Organise a pre-wedding cruise to help make your wedding reception even more fun and friendly. Choose from our public cruisesor tailor-make your own.
Want your wonderful wedding day to happen all over again? Relax and relive the day, sharing memories with your guests at a Survivors’ breakfast or lunch cruise.

When to marry in Noosa
We run throughout the year. The boat is fully enclosable should it rain. Winter sunsets are the most beautiful of all, and there’s usually less rain too. Temperatures in July and August drop considerably after sunset, but it is still mild in April and May as you’ll see below. September is usually the busiest time of year for weddings, so book early, or choose another date.
Average air temperatures
Please note you must register your intention to marry at least one month and one day before the ceremony – this isn’t Vegas!
Officially, you do need permission to marry in a public place in Noosa, but it is a formality (the cost is around $200 – $300).
Visit the Noosa Council website for more useful wedding information.
If you have the budget, check out the local wedding planners. Alternatively, you may need to organise a celebrant, accommodation, transport, a photographer, a cake, a decorator, a DJ or band.To give you peace of mind, consider visiting Noosa in advance, to meet with those involved with organising your wedding.
Besides, you deserve a holiday, right? Join one of our public cruises to get you in the mood!
