Riverside & waterfront wedding venues

The river runs through the middle of Brisbane, and 11 venues here sit beside it, on the bay, or by a creek or lake further out.

In the city that means wharves, a heritage customs building and an arts centre in a converted 1920s industrial building. Further out, you'll find a yacht club on the bay and a winery by the water in the Scenic Rim.
