Wurtulla is a beach suburb with no acts of its own, and its list is borrowed from a few minutes inland. A soloist at Meridan Plains comes first, then a block of Caloundra, four singers, a wedding DJ, a DJ who does karaoke, a face painter and a henna artist, and a singer and a soloist from Sippy Downs close the ten. Every one of them is a short drive down the Nicklin Way or across from the motorway. You're on the sand and they're on the estates, and that arrangement suits everybody.
The Kawana strip runs from Currimundi up through Wurtulla, Bokarina and Buddina, one long beach with surf clubs and a lake behind it, and the hospital precinct at Birtinya has added work functions to the birthdays and beach weddings. The pool is the Sunshine Coast's, singers and wedding singers before anything, then soloists, duos, cover bands and wedding bands, with the face and henna artists giving this page a family-party lean the Mooloolaba end doesn't have.
Top picks are the nearby performers with the most visible reviews, then rating, then the closest; further afield the closest come first, and premium listings break remaining ties. Distances are straight-line from Wurtulla. Ask each act whether they travel to your venue and what that costs.
The DJs nearest Wurtulla are in Caloundra, so there's no drive in the number, and what's left is hours, gear and the kind of night. A surf club room with its own sound is the cheap end; a beach ceremony plus a reception with lights and a late finish is the expensive one. The from-prices on the DJ cards above are the Caloundra starting points, and the karaoke option is priced as its own job.
You can, and the Caloundra singers do it along this strip. The beach here is open to the weather, so the act will want to know where they'll stand, whether there's any shelter and how far the gear comes from the car park, and they'll bring battery sound because there's no power on the dunes. Check with the council about where on the beach you can set up before you send the enquiry.
A henna artist and a face painter, both in Caloundra and both a few minutes away, are the two on the first screen, and the DJ who does karaoke is the pick for a tween party that wants a microphone. For a school or a fete on the Kawana strip, the two artists can run side by side from one shaded table each. Say the ages in the enquiry, because a henna design for a teenager and a butterfly for a four-year-old are different afternoons.
A ceremony on the lake at Bokarina is out of the surf noise and the afternoon wind, and a singer with a small battery PA carries there in a way they don't on the open beach. Ask if they've played it.
A henna artist and a face painter within five minutes make Wurtulla a strong page for a child's birthday or a fete on the strip. Both need a table and shade, and neither needs power.
Those pages show the same acts in a different order. Use this one for the beach side, and if the shortlist is thin for a spring Saturday, Buderim and Mooloolaba are ten minutes north.
