If The Tides is on your shortlist, this is the day to see it properly.
On Sunday, 15 March 2026, from 12 pm to 4 pm, The Tides is opening its doors for its annual Wedding Showcase. It is not a crowded expo hall. It is the venue itself, styled and ready, so you can walk through your ceremony, your reception and your timeline in real space.
See the Venue as It Actually Feels on a Wedding Day
The Tides offers three ceremony locations and three reception spaces, all framed by the waterfront at Bribie Island. During the showcase, each space will be styled so you can visualise scale, layout and light. That matters more than any brochure.
Expect:
• Bubbles on arrival
• Private buggy tours or guided walking tours
• Styled ceremony and reception setups
• Face time with the in-house wedding team
• A curated lineup of trusted local vendors
This is your chance to ask practical questions. Where does the sun sit at 4 pm? How does the reception flow into speeches? Where do guests gather during canapés? Real answers come from standing in the space.
Meet the Vendors Who Actually Work There
Showcases are useful because you meet the people who already know the venue. Florists who understand the wind direction. Celebrants who know the ceremony spots. Planners who know how the day runs when the tide is high, and the sky is glowing.
You will also find exclusive offers, discounts and prize draws on the day. Registered couples will even go into the draw to win a free ceremony at The Tides.
Why You Should Go
A venue can look good online. It is different when you feel it.
The way light fills the reception space in the afternoon.
The way the waterfront changes as the sun drops.
The way guests move between the ceremony and the celebration.
If you are planning a Bribie Island, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, or Sunshine Coast wedding, this showcase provides clarity quickly.
The event is free, but registration is required.
You can register directly via The Tides website and secure your place for Sunday, 15 March 2026.
For couples considering a waterfront wedding with coastal energy and clean, modern styling, this is the kind of afternoon that makes decisions clear.
