The bouquet was huge!! The photographer was fantastic and the celebrant we had was the most beautiful soul on the planet!! Love lou and her team and can’t thank them enough!!

We were married at Palm Cove, Cairns last week all with thanks to Palm Cove Weddings. Thanks Lou for your professionalism and flexible approach to our add-ons. You helped the day run smooth and we appreciated your friendly and relaxed approach. The celebrant Janine Meakin and the Ian the photographer (posh photography) were outstanding - as was the hair/makeup artist and florist. Thanks again, Donna and Duncan
