Getting married in Canberra? Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to:
Canberra is beautiful and sunny during autumn and spring, and both are very popular times of year for outdoor Canberra weddings. Summer can be really hot and dry, so an indoor wedding reception venue option might be the right pick for this time of year depending on your wedding date. Winter weddings will have plenty of cosy wedding venue options.
What are the popular wedding styles in Canberra?Wedding venues in and around Canberra tend to be fairly traditional, with many garden wedding venues, homesteads in the hills, museum wedding venues, and various religious and non-denominational chapels.
Are there any major events in Canberra that we should consider when planning our wedding?Canberra is widespread and offers many lovely accommodation options, so no need to stress over the city being too busy to book hotels during particular times of year. That said, traffic can be heavy during some local events like Canberra Day and Floriade Festival.
Should we consider any wedding venue locations near Canberra?If you’re looking to get out of Canberra for your wedding, we’d recommend extending your wedding venue search to include the South Coast or the Southern Highlands.
