We’re about to make this vision come to life. Have a look at some of our most useful tips below:

• Start by writing down your guest list – This is a crucial step towards defining your budget and deciding on the size of your garden venue. If any of your guests have limited mobility, make sure the venue you’ve picked is accessible for them.

• Consider the acoustics – Garden weddings can be a bit challenging in terms of getting the sound right. It’s always better to test your audio equipment and double-check everything before the big day.

• Have a plan for the lighting – Candles, lanterns and fairy lights are essential to ensure that your outdoor wedding venue is perfect and magical! Keep that in mind when choosing the perfect garden wedding venue. Many venues include pictures in their Tagvenue listings of possible beautiful lighting setups for garden wedding receptions, so make sure you take the time to get inspired by these.

Now that you've thought about some of the most important aspects of garden wedding venues, here are some of our personal favourites:

I’m on a tight budget. How do I find a cheap garden wedding venue in Sydney for my big day?

With Tagvenue you can easily browse through garden wedding venues in Sydney at all price ranges. We always do our best to include spaces suitable for every budget. A good tip for finding an affordable garden venue for your wedding is to focus on less popular dates. If you host your wedding on a weekday, you can pay as little as half the price for the weekends! You can also choose to have your wedding during the day because wedding venues for an evening wedding may be much more expensive. Perhaps a romantic wedding brunch amid the beautiful outdoors that surrounds you and your closest friends and family is just what you are looking for?

If you are on a limited budget, here are a few more recommendations for lowering the cost of your wedding:

• Choose digital invites instead of pricey printed invitations to save money. You can even make them yourself if you want to include a personal touch. You can create a wedding website or send digital invitations to all of your guests. Everyone will be equally as delighted to celebrate your milestone on your big day, no matter how you choose to invite them.

• If you enjoy DIY projects or are a creative person in general, you can even make your own flower arrangements, wedding favours, and decorations. The advantage of this is that you will be able to customise things to your liking.

• Take full advantage of your outdoor venue. The reason so many people are interested in outdoor garden venues is that they already have everything you need for a spectacular wedding. Beautiful backdrops everywhere you turn, and numerous romantic photo opportunities for you and your partner. Basically, you won't have to spend a fortune on décor. Perhaps some fairy lights or candles will suffice to brighten the area. In most circumstances, when your celebration is held in an outdoor venue, you won’t have to worry about noise or space constraints. Allow the garden venue to speak for itself, and you will create the ideal atmosphere for your wedding.

Do I need an indoor backup plan in case the weather surprises me?

Sydney is a fantastic place to host a garden wedding reception. The sun is shining on most days of the year, but it’s always better to have a plan B in case the weather breaks down. Always ask the venue manager what they can come up with. They’re experienced with wedding planning and will be happy to suggest a solution that might end up saving the day! You may opt for a garden venue with additional indoor space to enjoy your perfect garden wedding while also having peace of mind in case the weather surprises you.
