The Rydges group of hotels and resorts have Australia pretty much covered and each property has dedicated staff to look after couples wanting wedding receptions. Some resorts are also ideal for the actual ceremony and many of the hotels offer complimentary accommodation with a bit of pampering for the bride and groom.

Rydges have hotels and resorts in every state and territory and there are links below.

One of Small Guide Travel’s favourite Rydges properties for weddings and receptions is The Reef House Boutique Resort & Spa in the heart of Palm Cove. Just across from the beach it has a sensational restaurant, fabulous day spa and the resort recently underwent a major refurbishment. We have stayed in a Verandah Spa Room and the Reef Suite and been pampered in the day spa We highly recommend it for romantic indulgence.

The wedding coordinator is Holly Jones-Anderson and she tailors the ceremony and reception to suit each couple.
