From the moment we met Gaik Si and Samuel, we knew their wedding would be something special—elegant but effortless, steeped in history yet full of fun. Set against the rolling vineyards of Coolangatta Estate, this South Coast wedding had it all: 19th-century charm, sprawling vines, and a golden sunset that felt straight out of a movie.

Ceremony Under the Moreton Bay Fig
The couple exchanged vows beneath Coolangatta’s iconic Moreton Bay Fig, its grand branches creating a natural canopy. With a backdrop of vineyards and historic buildings, the scene was both timeless and intimate. No need for over-the-top decor when you’ve got a 100-year-old tree stealing the show. Guests watched on, teary-eyed and grinning, as Gaik Si and Samuel sealed the moment with a kiss.

Golden Hour Escape & Sunset Reception
As the sun dipped lower, we snuck away to a nearby beach. The scenery and clouds were pure magic — perfect for those quiet, just-married, moments away from the crowd where you can soak it all in.

Then it was back to the Crows Nest reception room, where the party kicked off. With an open fireplace, award-winning wines, and a dance floor that never emptied, the night was equal parts heartfelt and high-energy.

For couples after a South Coast vineyard wedding that blends historic charm, natural beauty, and a touch of adventure, Coolangatta Estate delivers in spades.
