Testimonials

My husband and I cannot recommend South Pacific Bridal highly enough for a wedding. We knew that we wanted a beach wedding but didn't want to worry about the weather. The Alamanda Chapel is the absolute perfect location, it did not matter if it was raining or sunshine, the day would still be perfect and a bonus that the chapel is so beautiful in a picture, perfect location.
Rebecca
Wow it's amazing. Absolutely love it ❤️ Sherie, Thank you so much for everything. You honestly helped make our day perfect, everything we could have dreamt for and more. You helped the day run as smoothly as possible. Mel our celebrant was perfect and even the photographers and videographers were amazing. Everything was above and beyond all our expectations. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet it has been crazy since returning home and Madi has been sick. But yes you are welcome to put the photos on your page if you want. Sincerely thank you from the bottoms of our hearts you have given us a day we will always remember forever as being one of the best days in our lives. Kind Regards
Nikki and Rob
We got married at Alamanda Chapel, the communication in the lead up was great and Sam made us feel so at ease. The chapel was just perfect in every way and people are still talking about how lovely it was. Thank you so much for helping us have the most perfect ceremony.
Tracy and Nick
Sherie was absolutely fantastic. Our wedding was booked in under six months and Sherie was very efficient in getting everything together for us. For the decisions that we were uncertain about she would give very helpful advice and raise some factors that we should consider. I thought we would be much more stressed leading up to the big day but that certainly wasn't the case!
Donna
I can not express how grateful I am to the truly amazing Sherie at SPB. Her outstanding list of suppliers and the talented photographers (Mario and Yumi) made our day so special. As we travelled all the way from the UK we had to 100% put our trust in Sherie and we weren't disappointed. Our heartfelt thanks.
Neil, Hannah and Violette
We recently had our wedding ceremony at the Blue Horizon Chapel. Sherie & the team we’re amazing putting it all together for us. It was a wonderful day, thank you so much.
Zara
We recently got married at the Alamanda and had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Sherie from SPB. Sherie made our wedding stress free and took care of everything which made it a lot easier especially being a pregnant bride. The wedding was perfect, it was everything we imagined and more. I highly recommend any bride to be to go see SBP. Thank you Sherie.
Nikki & Mark
Sherie was Fantastic ! This made our wedding stress free knowing Sherie had it all under control. Planning a destination wedding can be daunting but they went above and beyond to make our day so special. We loved all the suppliers they used they were all amazing. Our day was just perfect Thank you!
Rebecca
I recently got married at the Hilton hotel chapel and I had the beautiful Alice help me with everything she was amazing and very accommodating from beginning to end!! Thank you again x
Rachel
South Pacific Bridal takes care of everything, which is perfect for interstate brides like myself. We had Sam looking after us on the day. She let us borrow a gorgeous little basket for our flower girl and just kept everyone calm before the walk down the aisle (including my dad). It made for a great day, zero stress! I would highly recommend Alamanda Chapel at Palm Cove, it was perfect.
Maja
We were so lucky to work with the lovely Sam from South Pacific Bridal in the lead up to our wedding. She organised the rehearsal which helped calm my nerves and was there to ensure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. We loved working with Sam and were so grateful for all of the kindness she showed us and for the recommendations she made to ensure our day of everything we'd dreamt of. We would strongly recommend Sam and South Pacific Bridal services to ensure your special day is perfect. Thank you, Sam!
Chloe
Sherie from SPB was incredible at our recent wedding. She thought of every possible detail in the lead up to the wedding and as an interstate couple, guided us through the organising process. On the big day she was SO organised and calm and kept everyone and everything running smoothly. Sherie sourced a fantastic celebrant, photographer and hairdresser and co-ordinated everything to a tee. Jamie and I are so appreciative of her help and guidance and if you're looking for a beach wedding, would definitely recommend SPB. Claire from NuNu was also a great team with Sherie and assisted the smooth transition from our ceremony to reception. Palm Cove and the Alamanda chapel will forever be a special place for us and we can't wait to visit again for a wedding anniversary!

Planning Your Cairns Beach Wedding: 3 Tips

  • Timing is Everything: The most popular time for a Cairns beach wedding is the “Winter” months (May to October) when the weather is dry, and the humidity is low.
  • Year-Round Comfort Without Compromise: If you’re planning your wedding between November and May, our absolute beachfront chapels offer an elegant and stress-free alternative to a beach ceremony. With uninterrupted ocean views, air-conditioned comfort, and a private setting, you can focus on your celebration while we take care of the details.
  • Think About Your Guests: Cairns is easy to fly into, and we can help arrange accommodation at the award-winning Alamanda Palm Cove by Lancemore or the Hilton Cairns.
