People often ask what an elopement weekend at The Orchard Sunshine Coast is like.
It's a peaceful, stress-free weekend experience designed just for the two of you where we take care of the details so you can relax and enjoy the moment together.
Arrival at The Orchard
When you arrive at The Orchard Sunshine Coast, the weekend begins at a slower pace.
You have time to settle in, take in the view of the orchard, and begin to relax. Without a busy schedule, the experience starts gently, allowing you to simply enjoy being together.
Your Private Safari Tent
Tucked within the orchard, your safari tent becomes your private retreat for the weekend. Inside, everything is thoughtfully prepared so you can settle in and relax with simple comforts and a welcoming charcuterie board waiting for you on arrival. You might spend your first evening enjoying the orchard, sitting on the deck or gathering around the fire under the evening sky. You might also take a short walk down the road to Brickers Cidery, a local favourite known for its delicious pizza and cider, before returning to the solitude of the orchard.
A Slow Morning Together
The morning of your ceremony begins quietly in the orchard.
You can start the day at your own pace, making coffee in the tent and enjoying a slow morning together. You might take a walk through the orchard to the quiet gravel road, where hiking trails begin just below the property. Or you might head out for a paddle or bike ride along the coast, or a visit the local farmers' market.
However the morning unfolds, there is time to enjoy the moment before the ceremony begins.
Getting Ready Together
After a slow morning and time to explore the area, you return to the tent in the afternoon to begin getting ready for the ceremony. There's no rush here- just quiet moments together before walking to the ceremony space tucked among the trees.
