THE Q TRAIN

If you are dreaming of a wedding day that feels effortless yet uniquely unforgettable, The Q Train on the Bellarine Peninsula offers a celebration like no other.

Awarded #1 in the 2025 and 2026 Wedding Industry Awards for Elopements and Intimate Weddings, this iconic rail restaurant sets the scene for romantic moments surrounded by coastal beauty, award-winning cuisine and the nostalgic charm of train travel.

Designed with intimacy in mind, The Q Train’s micro-wedding experience combines simplicity with regional magic. All-inclusive elopement packages are available, featuring a ceremony conducted by Sue Warner and memories beautifully captured by Paidi Flynn.

Additionally, bespoke weddings that reflect your unique style can be arranged with The Q Train crew.

Your journey begins at the historic Drysdale Station where heritage timberwork, vintage rail details and soft country light create a charming backdrop for your ceremony. Nearby, the scenic wetlands of Lake Lorne provide another picturesque location, ideal for capturing portraits before you step aboard.

From there your celebration continues on a beautifully-restored heritage train gliding past Swan Bay and through the rolling Bellarine countryside. As the landscape shifts outside your window, onboard chefs serve a seasonal degustation that showcases the finest local produce from the Bellarine, Geelong and the Otways.

This leisurely three-hour journey is designed for connection, allowing you to savour exquisite flavours, raise a glass and enjoy a day that feels entirely your own.

With relaxed elegance, warm hospitality and a setting that blends nostalgia with natural beauty, a wedding aboard The Q Train is romance in motion – a perfect beginning to a lifetime of adventures together.
