Planning a wedding on the Tweed Coast or Gold Coast means embracing the possibility of a rainy day, and at Ancora Weddings, we think that’s actually fine. Our waterfront venue is purpose-built to handle whatever the weather throws at it, so you can book with confidence and enjoy every moment regardless.

Does Ancora have a wet weather ceremony option?

Yes, and it’s included as standard with your ceremony package or our Deluxe Package, at no extra cost. Our light-filled indoor space doubles as a stunning ceremony venue, with two setup orientations to choose from:

1. In Front of the Cake Ledge Your arbour is positioned against our cake ledge, giving you a clean, blank canvas backdrop that lets your florals and styling take centre stage.

2. In Front of the Windows Your arbour is set up facing our floor-to-ceiling windows, so you exchange vows with the Tweed River as your backdrop, rainy day views and all.

A waterfront venue that looks beautiful in any weather

One of the things that makes Ancora Weddings genuinely great in wet weather is the space itself. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors mean the river is always part of the experience, even when everything is closed up. Moody skies and rain on the water have produced some of our most stunning ceremony photos and couples who were initially disappointed by the forecast have walked away glad it rained.

We also have several beautiful on-site photo locations, so you won’t need to venture far, though a few clear umbrellas for the bridal party never go astray. You can pick some up from The Whole Bride at 15% off with special code ANCORA.

Can I see examples of wet weather weddings at Ancora?
