The Toowoomba and rural Queensland guide focuses on Toowoomba, Australia’s garden city, the Darling Downs and the surrounding area including Warwick, Stanthorpe, Oakey and Pittsworth. These areas continue to grow into beautiful cities and towns so for brides and grooms, this is wonderful news.

Toowoomba is situated on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, 700m above sea level. Only 90 minutes drive from Brisbane, Toowoomba has twice been voted Australia’s best city in which to live. The Toowoomba region features some of Australia’s most beautiful gardens, and the city comes alive when it hosts the Australian Carnival of Flowers in September. Over 240 public parks and gardens, each with their own special character, thrive on the rich volcanic soil of the region. Otherwise, if you are lucky, you may have your own beautiful garden or know someone who is willing to host your wedding.
If you have chosen or are thinking about choosing a public garden such as Queens Park Gardens, Laurel Park or Picnic Point, you will need to advise the local council at least three months in advance and arrange for any permits, which may be necessary. The Toowoomba City Council parks have designated sites which may be booked (for a fee) for weddings. Confirmed bookings will only be taken up to six months in advance. To marry in any parks, contact the Toowoomba City Council on (07) 4688 6611. See our outdoor weddings section for more information. Remember to book your accommodation and services at least twelve months in advance, particularly if you are planning your wedding during the Carnival of Flowers or over a long weekend. |
