Cloud Nine Weddings

What Cloud Nine Weddings does

Cloud Nine Weddings is a privately held, founder-led wedding planning and styling business based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1998 by Julie-Ann and operating from a showroom at 4/32 Technology Drive, Warana, the company serves couples getting married across Noosa, Caloundra, Maleny, Mooloolaba, Coolum, Twin Waters and surrounding regions. It markets itself as an award-winning planner that has designed over 2,000 weddings across more than 21 years of operation.

The company's core offering is structured as tiered service packages rather than a technology platform. It sells all-inclusive ceremony and reception packages (Elegant Elopements at $4,300, Coastal Breeze at $5,900, Seaside Soiree at $7,950, Ultimate Event at $9,900, Commitment Ceremonies at $3,750) alongside modular planning tiers (Getting Started $1,500, Simple $4,950, Deluxe $7,500, Marquee & Private Estates from $9,500). These are complemented by decorator styling packages (ceremony $650–$975, reception $15.50–$29.50 per person, stationery $5.95–$7.50 per person), day-of coordination (from $2,495), in-house wedding invitation design, an extensive hire catalogue of d\u00e9cor and furniture, and Special Events styling for occasions beyond weddings.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services, distributed through a physical showroom (by appointment), the sunshinecoastwedding.com website, Pinterest boards, a WordPress blog, Instagram, and referrals from partner venues and suppliers. Revenue mechanics combine fixed package fees, per-person styling charges, hourly add-ons ($100/hour consultations, $120/hour wedding-day coverage), and per-item hire fees. The firm is bootstrapped, employs 1–10 people, has no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed financial metrics.
