Beach & Garden Ceremonies

Beyond the chapel itself, Palm Cove’s beachfront and resort gardens offer additional ceremony settings for couples who want their vows exchanged directly on the sand or amongst tropical gardens, styled and coordinated by our team.

Hilton Blue Horizon Chapel (Cairns Waterfront)

A short drive from Palm Cove, the Hilton Blue Horizon Chapel offers a glass-walled ceremony space set within its own reflecting pond, framed by Trinity Inlet and the rainforest mountains beyond — a popular alternative for couples who want a waterfront rather than beachfront feel.

Looking for a Private Estate Instead?

If you’d rather your ceremony happen on a private beachfront property than inside a chapel, we can also arrange your Palm Cove-area wedding at Trinity Beach Palace, a five-bedroom private estate with 130 metres of beachfront, booked exclusively for your day.
