Does Mirage Whitsundays provide wedding planning assistance?

To ensure your celebration is as unique and personal as your vision, we do not provide wedding planning services. We believe every ceremony should be a perfect reflection of the couple, and we have found that this is best achieved by working with an experienced, professional wedding planner who can dedicate their expertise entirely to you.

Our recommendation is to engage a wedding planner who will collaborate directly with our team. Your planner will act as your advocate and coordinator, ensuring every detail—from the initial concept to the final execution—aligns seamlessly with your desires and our venue policies and procedures. This partnership allows us to focus on providing our stunning ceremony venue and exceptional accommodation service, while your planner focuses on bringing your unique vision to life.
