On top of the mountain ceremony

What a view! Rachel and Danny’s romantic elopement at the stunning St Bernard’s Hotel on Tamborine Mountain was everything a couple dreams of when planning an intimate Gold Coast elopement. Surrounded by 30 close friends and family, they celebrated their love with a breathtaking hinterland backdrop—one of the most sought-after views for eloping in Queensland.

With the sound of traditional bagpipes honouring Danny’s heritage, our gorgeous bride made her entrance with her sisters as bridesmaids, dressed in soft lemon gowns. Their beautiful daughter walked ahead, adding the sweetest touch to this heartfelt moment. The couple exchanged personal vows filled with warm giggles and genuine emotion—everything an elopement ceremony is meant to be.

The sweeping mountain views from St Bernard’s Hotel offered the perfect setting for a Tamborine Mountain elopement, with a gentle Spring breeze keeping the sunny afternoon comfortable for all.
