There are 101 things to do when planning the big event but before you start picking out your dress, the first big decision is the venue.

The good news is the region has some of the most stunning venues around.

One top tip is to get in early. Many venues book out in advance. If you are set on a particular venue but cannot get the day you want, maybe consider changing your date from a Saturday to a Friday.

Local venues provide special memories and you can feel good about supporting the local economy. Plus a benefit of marrying locally is that you can easily find good recommendations.

The Destiny Motor Inn at Nambucca Heads is a great wedding venue complete with a beautiful private lake spanned by a charming little bridge. A spectacular water fountain, water fowl and lush tropical gardens also help create the perfect wedding backdrop.

With Destinys service commitment and attention to detail gives you an impeccable location to entertain your wedding guests.

Here they can create your wedding to your suit budget. You can get married in the tropical gardens and have the convenience of your guests being able to stay the night at discounted prices.

You can also arrange a buffet breakfast the next day to gather your guests to say goodbye for those who have travelled far. A-la-carte, finger food or grazing tables; the choice here is yours.
