So, you’re trying to pin down a date for your wedding in 2019 or 2020. Here are some wedding dates in 2019 and 2020 that clash with public holidays if you’re looking to avoid conflict with national holidays and events in Australia.
Of course, these are just estimates for some dates (Austalia Day, for example. Stay tuned for official dates to be released in case of changes). And, of course this doesn’t mean you need to avoid these dates. We love a Christmas wedding or a NYE wedding, it just isn’t everyone’s taste.
