Laura and Toby | November 2023
If there were ever a wedding day that had it all in spades, this was it! Laura & Toby’s November Wedding at The Old Diary in Maleny was all about family and fun, all the while being chic as ever
Laura's beautiful bridesmaids all stunned in mismatched black which was a strict dress code of the day including the vendors
During cocktail hour, guests were invited to bounce on the jumping castle and with a tattoo artist on site for these two to mark the occasion with matching ink, a few guests got their own for good measure!

Tips to help you make the most of the Maleny Wedding Festival on Sunday, July 28th.
Unlike any other Wedding Expo, the Wedding Festival opens the doors to the best wedding venues the Sunshine Coast Hinterland region has to offer between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Festival day
Hit the road and plan your approach in a relaxed style This will allow you to see every location in your own time.
Begin at Palmwoods or Mapleton and head south along the Blackall Range, or start at Maleny and head north to discover the specialised venues. Beautifully styled wedding spaces are opening their doors so you can dream first-hand about your special day.
The Maleny Wedding Festival is held on the last Sunday in July. You can register now for free, or for $10, you can enter the draw to win 10K towards your hinterland wedding.
Now in its twelfth year, the Wedding Festival Trail is a must-do event for planning a Queensland wedding
The next question is, how does it all work?
Maleny Wedding Festival is your open access to 9 of the region's premier wedding venues, so you can instantly tell if you will say "iDo To The Venue "
You can drive the distance in 30 minutes, but please plan your day to get the most out of it, as there is a lot to see. PTO......
Tips
1. Research, research, research. You can never do enough! Get to know if the venues align with your needs regarding location, facilities, budget and style. Venue and supplier information details can be found on the website https://visitsunshinecoasthinterland.com.au/weddings/
2. Check the map in advance for the locations of the registered venues working together on the trail just for you: https:// visitsunshinecoasthinterland.com.au/event/maleny-wedding-festival/
3. Request the information guides from your selected venues in advance so you know what to expect on inclusions, costs, DIY or catering, etc. You can take advantage of any on-the-day offers to increase your budget.
4. Start following our vendors on Instagram and make time to chat with them at the festival, especially if there is someone you feel you have to meet.
5. Ask for advice; the vendors and venues want to help you make your planning easy.
6. It is the ultimate vendor one-on-one meetup, so have a chat. When you know, you will know who fits your personality best.
7. The event is designed without overwhelm or pressure. Grab a glass of bubbles or a brew, wander the venues, listen to some tunes, and sit and relax to get the feel of a location. If you feel the instinct to stay a while in one location, take time to meet the coordinators and the vendors. That will be your best insight into the feel of your day and the people who will help make it happen.
8. The Hinterland is one big community working together; those who have come together on the trail are there for you and work across the region.
9. If you have entered the 10k prize draw, follow the T&Cs and look for the required sign in the registered venues. We wish you the best of luck.

Bringing in their own piano with Tricia's brother on keys was a grand gesture by the couple to have family play such a big role in their chapel ceremony
