Planning your wedding ceremony in Sydney? Before deciding on a venue, here are some key things to consider.
Advantages
In Sydney, sunny days and clear skies are very common, even during the winter months. Plan your wedding in summer or the winter with peace of mind. Chances are you’ll have no trouble with your outdoor event!
Surrounded by hundreds of parks, bodies of water, and open spaces, Sydney is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Visit iconic natural landmarks like the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and the Ku-Ring-Gai Park for a rejuvenating experience before your big day.
Home of the Sydney Airport, the busiest airport in Australia, Sydney is a popular tourist destination with plenty of international flights and connections. No matter their starting point, none of your friends will have an excuse to miss your party!
Disadvantages
Sydney is among the most expensive cities in Australia and the world, and it shows in some of the venue prices, especially during peak season, and doubly so if you don’t use an app like Giggster to find the best deals.
While it’s true traffic in Sydney can be a real pain, it’s offset by its comprehensive public transit system, complete with buses, trains, and bicycle lanes.
The breathtaking Sydney summers are peak season for tourists, and demand for venues is always sky-high. If you’re planning your wedding between December and February, book in advance.
Choosing the venue is the single most important step in planning an unforgettable wedding. Take your time browsing all the options and find the one that resonates with you!

Whether you have some experience planning other types of events or if it’s your first time, wedding parties are a different beast altogether. Regardless of your experience level, here are some key things to consider when planning your wedding.
Set a Budget – Before you start looking at venues, it’s a good idea to have a clear budget. This way, you’ll avoid getting hung up on a venue you can’t realistically afford, with all the disillusionment that comes with it.
Choose the Theme and the Venue – The theme of your wedding is among the most important decisions you'll make early on. The theme will lay the foundations and set the tone for your wedding day. Make sure both the theme and the theme complement and build each other up.
Decide on the Wedding Menu – Weddings are decidedly long affairs, and ensuring your guests are properly taken care of will go a long way towards making it a memorable experience for them. Ask if the venue offers indoor catering options, or look for local restaurants and chefs!
Send Out the Invitations – When all your planning is finalized, the last step is to send out the invitations. At this point, you should have detailed information like the date, time, and overall plan. Let your attendees know well in advance so they can get their things in order!
You don’t have to break your bank to make your wedding memorable. Here are some things you can do to save money and stretch your budget in expensive Sydney.
Consider a smaller menu.
In Australia, catering accounts for almost 20% of the total budget of the average wedding, according to an annual survey of recently married couples. One of the best ways to reduce costs is to go for a more limited menu that still covers all the dietary requirements of your attendees.
Do you have flexibility with the date?
If you have some flexibility with the date, consider planning your wedding for the off-season in Sydney between May and August. This is when you’ll find the best deals on venues, entertainment, and lodgings for your attendees. Book the space in advance, and you’re almost guaranteed to secure your affordable garden venue.
Cut back on extras.
While it’s true professional event planners and decorators can make your wedding planning a breeze, they can also be very expensive, as they usually charge as a percentage of your total budget. Consider instead asking your friends and family for help, or consider the services of a part-time event planner.
