Our Complete Guide to Central Coast Wedding Venue Hire
Set just north of Sydney, the Central Coast spans a wide region of national parks, beautiful lakes, and stunning beaches. What that means for your Central Coast wedding is that you’ll have plentiful options for wedding photography locations and breathtaking backdrops for your wedding ceremony. The Central Coast is a popular wedding destination for couples from Sydney, Newcastle, and beyond, some looking for rustic wedding venues in the hinterland and others looking for waterfront wedding venues.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a beautiful beach backdrop or a cosy, rustic farmhouse as your Central Coast wedding venue, our Venue Finders have you covered.
Getting married on the Central Coast? Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to:
The best weather or a Central Coast wedding usually falls between October and March, giving ample opportunity to select a wedding date. Temperatures are fairly steady throughout the year, with summer season bringing an average of 22-degrees, and winter days average around 15-degrees. The busiest months on the Central Coast are August, February, and May, so it’s wise to book ahead if you’re planning a wedding in those months. In terms of a wet weather plan, you’re more likely to need one in the spring and autumn months.
What are the popular wedding styles on the NSW Central Coast?Relaxed beach weddings are popular throughout the Central Coast, with waterfront wedding venues and gardens favoured by many couples. Rustic wedding venues like historic homesteads and beautiful barn wedding venues are also quite popular in the hinterland areas. Estate weddings and farmstays are also quite popular throughout the Central Coast.
Are there any major events on the Central Coast that we should consider when planning our wedding?At its busiest, the NSW Central Coast region can be a difficult place to find accommodation for your whole guest list. If you’re planning a wedding during busy season, booking accommodation far in advance is something to prioritise. Some of the area’s major events include Glenworth Winter Grazing Food and Wine Festival (June), Central Coast Winter Craft Beer and Cider Festival (June), and Chrome Fest. Australia Day and Christmas through New Year’s Day can also be quite busy.
Should we consider any wedding venue locations near the Central Coast?Nearby Hunter Valley could be a great option if you’re looking for winery wedding venues and more rustic wedding venue options. Another coastal region to look into if you’re interested in a waterfront or beach wedding venue, is the Southern Highlands.
