Hitchers Love Shack is a collaborative effort between Celebrant and Planner Stephanie Milne & Photographer Katie Purling. With a combined 25  years of experience in the Cairns & Port Douglas Wedding industry, Stephie & Katie have always felt that those seeking elopements and micro weddings have been some what neglected in Cairns when it comes to a purpose built and affordable indoor venue.

Whilst the Courthouse serves a wonderful purpose for those wanting to avoid all of the fuss, they do unfortunately find themselves saying their I do's in a glorified office, which let's be honest, is not very romantic.

And so The Love Shack was dreamed into existance -

At Hitchers we aim to offer a warm and welcoming alternative to the courthouse, a cool and dry space for those not wanting to risk the unpredictable weather of the Far North, a centrally located yet totally private location for lovers to share their heartfelt vows and lastly a space that evolves and grows with the changing trends of the wedding industry. 

 Whilst predominantly aimed at elopements & micro weddings with a maximum of 10 guests, The Love Shack is designed in a way so that it can be used for so much more.

From photoshoots, to private dining experiences and proposals, we would love to see what you do with the space.
