Your Guide to Hiring Wedding Ceremony Venues in Melbourne

Melbourne is a fresh and thriving city, full of young professionals and entrepreneurs. Because the city houses such a lively atmosphere, there are dozens of great wedding ceremony businesses that offer a great experience for your big day! You won’t have to look too hard to find all different kinds of venues – from a garden wedding ceremony spot to an indoor venue for wet weather months.

Before you start the process of choosing a wedding ceremony venue, take a look at our tips that may help you with it:

Setup – Ask each venue that you’re considering what their policy is for setup and decorating. Many venues will provide this service themselves, but if you plan on having your own people take care of setup and decorations, you will probably want to have access to the venue at least the day before the wedding.
Cleanup – Will the venue management allow you to clean up the following day? Chances are, the bride and groom will be long gone when it’s time to clean up and gather your belongings and gifts. Make sure that you have assigned people to assist with cleanup and likewise make sure that you know the venue's rules on when things need to be taken care of.
Timing – You should plan a specific and detailed timetable of the entire wedding day with the venue. It’s important (for you and them) to know when the ceremony ends and when guests will arrive at the reception. If you plan to have photographs taken of the wedding party, you may want to schedule a cocktail hour for your guests before the wedding party arrives and the dinner and dancing begin.
