When you imagine your perfect wedding day venue, it looks so spot on in your head, but how do you find this in real life?
Your ideal venue is something very hard to describe, hard to put into words. You feel like you will know it when you see it, but it might be difficult to define before that. And you can’t go walking into every single wedding venue in your city trying to get that FEELING when you enter the right one.
We have been doing some research and at Easy Weddings we consider ourselves to be at the very forefront of fashion and style. We know a lot of things before you do, that is why you turn to us for advice, right?
We have uncovered the wedding venues in Brisbane that were (until now) hidden secrets. Unassuming from outside, when you enter you will become entranced, and you will feel from your head to your toes that feeling that you have been searching for.

A truly gorgeous little spot of untapped wonder and delight.
Electric Avenue
The true beauty of the hidden secret wedding venue is that the outside looks nothing like what you discover inside. While this modern brick building with palm trees flanking the door looks cool enough from its exterior, and the name sounds like something chic might be uncovered inside, you still won’t be prepared for what you see.
