Gold Coast wedding
Put one QR code on every table at your Gold Coast wedding. Guests scan and upload in the browser, no app or account. In the popular months (June to November), the BoM Gold Coast Seaway station averages 21 to 27°C highs and 5 to 8 rain days monthly. 20 uploads free, then A$67 once.
Climate figures are long-term averages from the BoM Gold Coast Seaway station. Prices are in Australian dollars.
Gold Coast weddings run all year, but couples favour winter and spring, when the BoM's Gold Coast Seaway station averages about 5 to 7 rain days a month and highs of 21 to 24°C. Summer is warmer and wetter, with 9 to 11 rain days a month from December to March.
A QR code on each table. Guests scan it, upload photos and videos in the browser, and everything lands in one shared album. No app, no account, even for Nan.

Twelve months of Bureau of Meteorology averages from the Gold Coast Seaway station, with the popular wedding months in rose. Sunset times are worked out for the 15th of each month, daylight saving included.
Golden hour is when the best guest photos happen. Put the code where guests gather for it, not only on the tables.
March is the wettest month at Gold Coast Seaway, with 11 rain days on average. Laminate the table cards and keep one sign where guests shelter, since that is where phones come out.
Sources: Bureau of Meteorology, Gold Coast Seaway climate averages; sunsets computed with the NOAA solar position algorithm for the 15th of each month, local clock time including daylight saving; Apple Support, iPhone operating temperature. Popular months follow the national pattern in the Easy Weddings, 2025 Industry Report, adjusted for each city's mild or dry season.
The venue types couples book most in and around the Gold Coast, and where the code goes at each, so guests see it when their phones are already out.
Sand and sea breeze: a weighted A-frame sign at the path down to the sand, never loose cards on chairs.
A common Gold Coast venue typeGuests stay for days. Add the code to the welcome pack so the pool and breakfast photos land in the album too.
A common Gold Coast venue typeSignal can drop in the ranges. Add 'upload any time this week' under the code, as photos upload once guests are back in range.
A common Gold Coast venue typeLow light under the canopy and patchy signal. Guests shoot now and upload later, so say so on the sign.
A common Gold Coast venue typeWind off the water flips light signs. Use a framed sign on a weighted easel by the drinks, and laminate the table cards.
A common Gold Coast venue typeThe Gold Coast runs on AEST, UTC+10 all year, with no daylight saving. Most interstate guests fly into Gold Coast Airport (OOL).
Time zones and daylight saving dates: australia.gov.au, time zones and daylight saving. Daylight saving runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April in NSW, Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and South Australia.
Queensland skips daylight saving and New South Wales does not. From October to April, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads sit an hour apart, so venues near the border should print the time zone on the invitation and the schedule.
australia.gov.au, time zones and daylight savingThe hinterland behind the coast, from Tamborine Mountain to the Lamington rainforest, is a short drive inland and cooler at night. Signal can be patchy in the ranges, so tell guests they can upload once they are back on the coast.
You can point a QR code at a shared folder for nothing. Plenty of Gold Coast couples try it first, so here is how it works and what to test before you print.
This walkthrough builds a QR code that points at a shared photo folder. It works. The catch shows up at the reception: a generic link opens a folder or an app sign-in, and that is where guests give up.
If you go this way, test the code on an iPhone and an Android before you print. Want the cards without the setup? Our free QR card designer makes print-ready table cards, and the QR code guide covers sizes and wording.

What couples planning a Gold Coast wedding ask about collecting guest photos, the weather and interstate guests.
Print one QR code on a welcome sign and a card for each table. Guests scan it with the phone camera, the album opens in the browser, and they pick photos and videos to upload. Nobody downloads an app or makes an account. With Pix Wedding the first 20 uploads are free, then A$67 once covers unlimited guests and uploads.
Couples favour June to November. Across those months the Bureau of Meteorology's Gold Coast Seaway station averages highs of 21 to 27°C and 5 to 8 rain days a month, and sunset on the 15th falls between 4:58pm and 6:16pm. The wettest month in the long-term averages is March, with 11 rain days.
Apple rates the iPhone for use between 0 and 35°C. The Gold Coast's warmest month, January, averages a 29°C high and the coolest, July, 21°C. Cold evenings drain batteries faster, so a charging spot helps. Photos stay on the phone, so guests can upload later either way.
Twice: on the wedding website before they travel, and by text the morning after the wedding. Time zones matter here. At 4pm on the Gold Coast in October, it is 2:00pm in Perth. On Starter, uploads stay open for 3 months after the date, so nobody is rushed.
The time where the wedding is. A Gold Coast venue runs on Queensland time, which is an hour behind Sydney from October to April. Say it on the invitation, for example '4pm Queensland time', so nobody arrives an hour early or late.
If it is weighted and sealed. Sea breeze flips light signs and salt spray marks paper, so use a framed or acrylic sign on a heavy easel and laminate the table cards. Guests scan from a metre or two away, so print the code at least 8 cm wide.
