Adelaide’s climate is moderate through spring and autumn with cool nights, while it’s hot and dry in the summer with little rain or humidity. Winter brings cool, wet weather with frost in the Adelaide Hills, June being the wettest month. If you’re planning a wedding during those cooler months, selecting a wedding venue with an indoor option may be helpful to your peace of mind.

Are there any major events in Adelaide that we should consider when planning our wedding?Adelaide is known for its art, music, sport, and culinary festivals, with the Adelaide Fringe Festival being the largest annual tourism drawcard. The city is usually at its busiest in the summer months, with many festivals and activities ongoing. If you’re hosting a wedding with many out-of-town guests and want to book hotel room blocks, we recommend discussing the wedding dates with your venue prior to booking that take tourism and accommodation availability into consideration.
