Getting married in Sydney? Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to:
One of the reasons Sydney is such a popular wedding destination is that the weather is fairly comfortable year round. Spring and autumn are the peak wedding seasons in Sydney, with the most popular dates in October and November followed by March. Sydney can get hot and humid in the summer months, but this time of year also allows longer daylight hours for your wedding. In the cooler winter months, you may prefer to have a cosy indoor venue for your wedding reception.
What are the popular wedding styles in Sydney?Sydney isn’t known for having one particular style of wedding, but rather hosts an array of stylish weddings, each with its own personalised design details. We’ve seen everything from Boho beach weddings to modern rooftop receptions to traditional religious weddings. As you search for your wedding venue, you’ll likely find that Sydney has a diverse portfolio of event spaces that can easily be stylised to fit your wedding design vision.
Are there any major events in Sydney that we should consider when planning our wedding?From its world-famous New Year’s Eve celebrations to splashy events like Mardi Gras and Sydney Harbour Regatta, Sydney hosts major events year round. If you’ll have many wedding guests travelling to Sydney that’ll need hotel bookings and transportation during your wedding weekend, we recommend checking the local calendar prior to selecting your wedding date.
Should we consider any wedding venue locations near Sydney?Sydney sprawls across many suburbs and landscapes, but getting outside of the city for a wedding is a lovely option as well. A couple of major destinations within driving distance of Sydney are the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley wine country. In the Blue Mountains region, you’ll find wedding venues that include cosy cottages and farm stays as well as more formal private estates and mountain resorts. Hunter Valley is where you’ll find rustic wedding venues, classic vineyard estates, and impressive manors with manicured gardens and lawns.
