Celebrate your wedding at The Garden Bar, a beautiful waterfront wedding venue in Airlie Beach located at Coral Sea Marina. With panoramic marina views, tropical gardens and the Whitsunday Islands beyond, our venue offers a relaxed yet elegant setting for couples looking to create a memorable Whitsundays wedding.
From intimate ceremonies to sunset drinks and stylish receptions, The Garden Bar combines coastal charm, flexible event spaces and warm hospitality in one of the most scenic wedding locations in Airlie Beach.

Ceremony
Exchange vows in our lush tropical garden, where gentle sea breezes and the shade of the Cassia tree create a romantic and intimate atmosphere. For wet weather or an alternative layout, our open-air deck provides a beautiful sheltered option with a waterfront backdrop.
Ceremony venue hire is available year-round from 3pm to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday, unless exclusive hire of the full venue is arranged.
Post-Ceremony Sunset Drinks
After the ceremony, guests can relax and mingle over sunset drinks, grazing platters and signature cocktails while taking in the marina and island views. It’s the perfect way to transition into the evening while creating time for beautiful wedding photography around the venue and waterfront.
