ABOUT THE VENUE<br />
Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar offers a distinct<br />
Italian menu complemented by an extensive international<br />
wine list. Set amongst the trees on the beautiful Noosa<br />
River, the restaurant is not just the perfect place to<br />
host a wedding reception, but the ceremony too. The<br />
restaurant’s private lawn area overlooks the river and<br />
is surrounded by magnificent Moreton Bay fig trees,<br />
which provide year-round shade and stunning foliage.<br />
The venue is owned by distinguished head chef Andrea<br />
Ravezzani, who brings his global culinary training and<br />
passion for food to the restaurant. With a focus on local<br />
produce, Noosa Waterfront hosts regular degustation,<br />
winemaker and guest chef dinners. The 120-seat<br />
restaurant is also a stylish setting for birthday parties,<br />
business functions and weddings.<br />
“It was a really overwhelming moment of relief and happiness to<br />
have them there,” she says.<br />
Despite the preceding drama, Jacklyn and Matthew’s wedding<br />
ceremony unfolded like a dream. Guests shaded themselves with<br />
delicate parasols as Jacklyn made her way down the aisle, her elegant<br />
dress heavy with French lace.<br />
Jacklyn says her wedding dress had beautiful, delicate details. “I have<br />
a small waist and this dress gave me a feminine silhouette that felt<br />
timeless. It was truly a beautiful dress to wear.”<br />
Jacklyn and Matthew beamed as they recited their vows, and friends<br />
and family mingled as a violinist played old-school Elvis and jazz<br />
tunes. After the ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed<br />
a sunset cruise on Noosa River, before dining on ricotta-stuffed<br />
zucchini flowers, pan-fried goldband snapper and coconut-infused<br />
panna cotta with raspberry and rose puree.<br />
Though they have now returned to Melbourne, Jacklyn and<br />
Matthew hold the Sunshine Coast close to their hearts, and look<br />
forward to someday bringing their children to the region. But<br />
for the time being, they are content with enjoying Noosa as a<br />
newlywed couple.<br />
“We have already planned to return next year for our one-year<br />
wedding anniversary,” Jacklyn says.<br />
