-
Northern Suburbs (e.g. Preston, Coburg, Brunswick, Thornbury) This is DIY wedding central—packed with warehouses, studios, and community halls. Best for: Creative spaces, laid-back weddings, BYO-friendly venues.
-
Western Suburbs (e.g. Truganina, Footscray, Werribee) A bit further out, but worth it for budget-conscious couples. Best for: Warehouse weddings, big guest lists, low hire fees.
-
Inner North-East (e.g. Collingwood, Abbotsford) Still close to the city but with more flexible, less commercial venues. Best for: Urban-chic weddings, industrial spaces, BYO options.
-
Eastern Suburbs (e.g. Doncaster, Box Hill) Not as event-saturated as the inner city, so prices are often lower. Suburban hotels, golf clubs, and halls can be surprisingly well-priced. Best for: Garden-style venues, family-friendly locations.
-
Outer Areas & Regional Fringe (e.g. Olinda, Dixons Creek, Exford) If you're open to travelling 45–60 minutes out of town, you’ll unlock wineries, estates, and tea houses that offer serious value for money. Best for: Scenic weddings, nature settings, all-inclusive deals.

Budget Wedding Tips from Tagvenue
- Avoid hidden fees – Always double-check for corkage, cake cutting fees, and service charges not included in the quote. Ask upfront.
- Book a morning slot – Brunch weddings are trending, and morning hire is often significantly cheaper than evenings.
- Plan a winter wedding – June to August is off-peak. Not only are hire rates lower, but venues are more open to negotiating deals.
- Choose venues with built-in décor – Save on styling costs by booking spaces that already have atmosphere—like art galleries, rooftop bars, or heritage halls.
- All-in-one packages – Package deals that bundle hire fees, catering and even decorating and organising assistance, can save you serious money.
- BYO options - Bringing your own beverages and food is an excellent way to bring down costs. Search for these venues using the filter on our platform.
