The Whitsunday wedding industry is thriving once again and new hope is building with this season already recording the highest volume of happy couples choosing to tie the knot on our sunny shores since before COVID.
Committee member of not-for-profit association, WeddingsWhitsunday.com, Debbie Savy, said it was a relief to see the industry starting to get back to normal.
“Marketing weddings during covid was difficult,” she said.
“Between state border lockdowns and capacity restrictions it was a tough couple of years. It’s been a relief that things have started to return to normal.”
Weddings Whitsunday was established 15 years ago and is an online directory for local wedding businesses to showcase their offering.
Always on the front foot in generating additional goodwill, the group decided to introduce a giveaway campaign offering one lucky couple a free wedding in the Whitsundays.
Emma-Lee Sherring and Ian Andrew were the lucky winners and the couple held their ceremony at the Garden Bar Bistro at Coral Sea Marina last month.
The couple have been together for 10 years and Ian proposed on Whitehaven Beach in March this year with their three children present.
“Winning this prize has brought so much joy to our family as we couldn’t think of a more beautiful place in Australia to get married,” said Emma-Lee.
Steve the Celebrant said that it was such a pleasure and a privilege to showcase our beautiful town to the couple, their family and friends.
“The sun shone. We laughed, shed a happy tear or two and created some sweet and everlasting memories,” he said.
The Garden Bar Bistro, Steve the Celebrant, Divine Weddings Whitsundays, Tropix Photography, Sofi & Flora, Apricate and Wild and Style au Natur`Elle all volunteered their services on the day.
