Weddings on the Sunshine Coast

Every word of your vows, heard by everyone you love.

Ceremony sound that carries over the breeze, a reception system for the speeches and the dance floor, and uplighting in your colours. We deliver it, set it up and quietly take it away.

The ceremony

Two things matter: everyone hears the vows, and the music lands on the moment. Both are harder outdoors than they look.

Your celebrant wears a discreet headset, a second microphone waits for the readings, and the music runs from your playlist or your musician. Everything is battery-powered, so no leads across the sand, and the speaker sits where it covers your guests without appearing in the photos.

We sound-check, then stay. The one moment that can't be repeated shouldn't be left to a Bluetooth speaker.

Beach ceremonies and the breeze

The Coast's loveliest ceremony spots are also its windiest. It's where most wedding sound goes wrong, and where a theatre background earns its keep.

The right microphone

A headset sits an inch from the mouth, so the voice is loud and the wind is quiet. We choose per celebrant, per site.

Placement, not volume

Turning it up makes the wind louder too. Position and angle carry the sound to the back row instead.

The reception

Speeches are the part of the night people remember, and the part most often let down by a hired speaker that drops out. We set the room up for speeches first: a wireless handheld that works from any table, a second for the MC, and a system tuned so the back of the room hears without the front being shouted at.

Then the same system becomes the dance floor. Your DJ or band plugs straight in, or we run your playlist with a proper fade on every track.

For a marquee, a barn or a room that was never built for music, we add subs and a second pair of speakers so it sounds even everywhere, not just loud at the front.


Uplighting is the gentlest way to make a room feel like yours.

Any colour, matched to a swatch on the day.

Uplighting and festoon

A dozen wireless uplights against the walls turn a bare hall into the venue in your saved photos. No cables, nothing taped down.

We match the colour to your palette and shift it through the night if you like: warm amber for dinner, something deeper when the dance floor opens. Festoon over an outdoor reception, a lit dance floor and a pin spot on the cake are the usual additions.

It travels in the same van as the sound, so it costs a fraction of a separate lighting hire.

Where we set up

Beaches and headlands at Noosa, Sunshine Beach, Peregian, Coolum and Point Cartwright. Riverside lawns at Noosaville. Hinterland venues at Montville, Maleny, Flaxton, Yandina and Eumundi. Resorts and function rooms from Noosa to Caloundra.

We're based in Coolum and travel is built into the quote. New venue to us? We'll visit or talk to the coordinator beforehand, so nothing on the day is a surprise.

Questions couples ask

Will the ceremony audio work on the beach?

Yes. It's battery-powered, so no generator and no leads across the sand, and the microphones and placement are chosen for wind.

Do you stay for the ceremony?

For most ceremonies we set up, sound-check with the celebrant and stay for the duration. A drop-off option exists for sheltered venues with power.

Can our DJ or band plug into your system?

Yes. Inputs are ready for a DJ, a band or a laptop, and we'll contact them beforehand so the changeover is seamless.

What colours can the uplighting be?

Any. We match a swatch from your stationery or flowers on the day.

How far ahead should we book?

Peak-season Saturdays from September to April go first. Two to three months is comfortable, and less is often still possible.

Do you travel to the hinterland?

Yes. Montville, Maleny, Flaxton and Yandina are regular work and travel is included.
