Behind The Vows

Honouring The Region’s Most Celebrated Wedding Creatives

From heartfelt vows to cinematic memories and breathtaking venues, a wedding is a tapestry woven with the talents of many,  and in regional Queensland, we’re spoilt for choice. This special feature shines a spotlight on the exceptional local businesses that help bring the magic of “I do” to life.

Whether it’s a videographer capturing every tear and twirl, a celebrant turning love stories into timeless ceremonies, or a venue that sets the scene for unforgettable moments, our region is brimming with passionate professionals who pour their hearts into every wedding they touch. And recently, many of them have been recognised with awards and accolades that reflect their commitment to excellence.

As more couples choose to tie the knot in picturesque regional settings, our local wedding industry continues to flourish. From coastal backdrops and countryside charm to tropical gardens and rustic barns, the Mackay, Whitsunday, Isaac and surrounding areas offer some of the most enchanting wedding destinations in the country, and behind those dreamy days are hardworking local creatives and service providers making it all happen.

These award-winning individuals and businesses have turned their passion into an artform. They’re not just suppliers, they’re storytellers, planners, problem-solvers and dream-weavers. Whether it’s seamlessly coordinating a ceremony, styling a venue to perfection, or going the extra mile to capture candid moments on film, they understand that every detail matters.

Wedding awards are a way of recognising not just quality and professionalism, but also heart. These accolades are often driven by real feedback from clients, brides, grooms, families and friends who’ve experienced firsthand the magic and care these businesses bring to their special day. And when locals support locals, everyone wins.

In this feature, we’re proud to share the achievements of businesses who’ve stood out in their field, raised the bar, and helped put our region on the map as a destination for unforgettable weddings. From those who are new on the scene to seasoned professionals with shelves full of honour, every one of them is part of what makes the regional wedding industry so vibrant and unique.

So, whether you're planning your own big day or simply want to celebrate the talents in our community, join us in giving a round of applause to the businesses who make weddings not just happen, but truly shine.

Because in this region, love isn’t the only thing worth celebrating, it’s the people behind the scenes who bring that love to life.
