DAY 1 WELCOME
11am: Take advantage of the early check-in at your hotel, drop off your bags and head to beautiful Mooloolaba Beach!
You’ll fall in love as soon as you step onto the Mooloolaba Esplanade and see the glistening ocean. Bury your toes in the silky soft sand and enjoy a swim between the flags.
12pm: It’s time for a long lunch and there are so many great choices as you stroll along the Esplanade. During Winter, keep your eyes peeled to the ocean as you may catch a glimpse of whales breaching on the horizon.
3pm: After lunch, meander the shady boardwalk to the Spit Parkland and Mooloolaba Fish Market which is the largest retail seafood market on the Sunshine Coast with wild caught seafood unloaded daily straight from the boats. And the best way to enjoy freshly caught prawns is on the beach taking in the glorious views of Mooloolaba rock wall. As you head back to the hotel, there’s time for an afternoon coffee or a glass of wine as you pass by The Wharf Mooloolaba before we need to get ready for a night of fun!
5pm: Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at one of Mooloolaba’s amazing wine bars. Sample fine wine and canapés at Bella Venezia, where you’ll be able to enjoy sunset views over the Ocean. Or you may want to venture to First Avenue where you'll find the sophisticated ambience of Back Lane Tapas and Wine Bar or Cellar Door on First. The Dock Mooloolaba has three exciting bars to choose from including the main bar, garden bar and river bar - all offering a great variety of beers and cocktails with a relaxed vibe. Boston Shaker Bar will have live music and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time amongst the Art Deco furnishings and spirits from yesteryear such as prohibition whiskey.
6.30pm: Our pre-wedding dinner reservation has been made so we will take a short walk to the award-winning Augello’s Italian Pizzeria situated right on the Mooloolaba Esplanade. With something to please even the fussiest of palates, this amazing Italian menu and relaxed setting will offer us a great opportunity to chat and connect. No speeches tonight, just fun and laughter.
DAY 2 THE WEDDING DAY!
Early morning: You're invited to play nine holes on the rolling green hills of Headland Golf Course, let’s keep the groom distracted and entertained.
Ladies: If you pre-booked your hair and makeup stylists to visit your hotel room, this will be a decadent, pampering morning. Enjoy!
Lunch: Head back to the beautiful Esplanade or The Wharf Mooloolaba precinct, and you choose! There are so many restaurants and cafés, you’ll be spoilt for choice, but you must be back at your hotel and dressed ready to party no later than 2.30pm.
2.30pm: Time to head to the beautiful ceremony garden ‘Mooloolaba Cove’ at The Spit Parkland to await the 3pm arrival of the bride as we enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the ocean. After the ceremony it’s time for a few photos, so we’ll be heading off to the rock wall! Guests will head to Frank and Lotti under the trees of the Esplanade where you’ll be treated to Oysters and Spritzers.
5.15pm: Make your way to the Ocean View room, upstairs at the Surf Club Mooloolaba, the vast seascape and incredible menu will take your breath away. Put on your dancing shoes and be ready to be entertained by the DJ.
DAY 3 LET THE CELEBRATION CONTINUE
7.30am: Breakfast will be served for our group at De Ja Vu Café, overlooking the ocean on the Mooloolaba Esplanade until 11am for those late to rise. We can’t wait to share all of your stories and snapshots from last night’s celebration!
10am: We have an amazing array of activities to choose from if you wish to explore beautiful Mooloolaba, so if you’re checking out, stow your bags and let us enjoy the day.
12pm: Choose from a day of shopping on the Esplanade, a rejuvenating spa treatment, a whale watch tour, river cruise, jet ski, electric tricycle hire and more. If you’d prefer to explore further afield, Australia Zoo is a short drive away, or for the more adventurous, try the Tree Tops high ropes and zip-lining experience at the Big Pineapple.
Evening: Tonight we’ll let our hair down as we meet at The Wharf Mooloolaba to listen to cool live music with dinner and wind down after a fabulous three day festival.
Till Late: Still feel like partying after dinner? You can join the locals and dance on the Esplanade to cool Salsa tunes, just follow the sound of the music!
