Our Complete Guide to Brisbane Wedding Venue Hire
Life in Brisbane largely revolves around being outdoors, which is no surprise for a city that boasts 300 days of sunshine a year. It’s no stress to plan an alfresco wedding that spans from day into night in this subtropical paradise. Brisbane wedding venues include modern luxury hotels in Fortitude Valley, refined private estates in the hinterland, and urban museums and galleries on the South Bank.
Here at Easy Weddings, our Venue Finders have visited the best Brisbane wedding venues, stretching from the city through the hinterland and down to Gold Coast.
Getting married in Brisbane? Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to:
While Brisbane is known as a sunshine city, the summer months can be too hot and humid for some, bringing the occasional downpour of tropical rain. The most popular dates for a Brisbane wedding are usually in April and May, and July through November. Many couples select indoor wedding venues or spaces with an indoor option if they’re choosing a wedding date that’s less dependable and likely to bring rain, humidity, or extreme temperatures.
What are the popular wedding styles in Brisbane?Refined weddings with a theme of contemporary romance are just as popular as tropical beach weddings in and around Brisbane. Venues like Brisbane City Hall provide a stately backdrop for a formal urban wedding, while luxury hotels like The Calile Hotel, The W Brisbane, and Ovolo The Valley offer stylish accommodation options for your wedding guests. If you’d prefer to head out of the city, lush tropical garden wedding venues, picturesque private estates, and elegant winery wedding venues can be found throughout the Brisbane region.
Are there any major events in Brisbane that we should consider when planning our wedding?Sporting events like the Brisbane Racing Carnival, food and wine festivals like the Greek Paniyiri Festival in South Brisbane, and school holidays bring tourists throughout the year, particularly in the summer months. If you’re hoping to plan your Brisbane wedding during a quieter time of year, it may be worth discussing the best wedding dates directly with your venue. They’ll have a clear idea of what major Brisbane events will affect accommodation availability and travel costs for your wedding guests.
Should we consider any wedding venue locations near Brisbane?Brisbane sits in the southeastern corner of the Queensland coast where it’s easy to drive to Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Byron Bay, Sunshine Coast, or Noosa. If you’re hoping to extend your wedding venue search to include more options like five-star beachfront resorts in Byron Bay, modern mountain getaways overlooking the Gold Coast, or Noosa garden wedding venues right on the beach, you can easily expand your venue search to those regions.
