Choosing the perfect location for your ceremony
Is there such a thing as THE perfect location for your wedding?
Surely it depends on the individual couple and their own dreams and aspirations for what their wedding day will look like.
What is perfect for one couple may not be perfect for another. However it will probably be the first and biggest decision you’ll make as an engaged couple and it will influence your budget, decor and even your attire.
Ask yourselves the following questions as the answers may help you decide the type of location you want.
How many people are we inviting?
How much do we want to spend….what is our budget?
What kind of wedding style do we want……formal, relaxed, rustic, outdoors, inside?
Is the Venue available on our wedding day?
How much work do we want to do?
Do we want to leave everything to the venue or do we want to do some of the work ourselves?
What time of the year do we want to get married?
Do we want the Ceremony and the Reception to be in the same place?
How easy is it for our guests to get to the location?
Do we have any elderly or informed guests?
Do we want to make it a weekend of celebrations or a singular day?

Things to Do Before you Choose your Location
Narrow down your search to a few options.
Once you have narrowed down your search email or call the venue and make an appointment to go and see it.
If it is an outdoor wedding try to view it at the same time as your ceremony so that you will know the sun orientation.

Write down a list of questions to ask. Does the location suit the style/theme you want? Read reviews from other couples
If you want an outdoor wedding always have a Plan B in case of bad weather……too hot or too cold. If you are using a public place you may need to apply for a permit.
Don’t choose the first place you see…..unless you absolutely fall in love with it.

Footnote: Many couples choose the outdoors for their wedding to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. When deciding on an outdoor venue please take into consideration the need to tidy up after the celebration.
Australia Beautiful Week is an annual event and runs from 22nd to 28th August and the theme this year is ‘Do the Right Thing’ for a litter free and sustainable Australia.
