On the lookout for Melbourne’s best wedding venues? Trawling the internet to find the perfect spot to get hitched can be time-consuming and frustrating. But the stress stops here! We’ve decided to do the legwork for you and created a curated list of the best wedding venues to hire in the city. Now you can easily browse options, find one that suits all your needs, and book it in just a few clicks. It’s never been so easy. Actually, don’t take our word for it – why don’t you give it a try and see for yourself now?
On average, couples start their venue hunt a year before the wedding, but no later than 9 months before. The wedding season falls anywhere between September to May, so if you’re planning a reception in that time frame, you should start your search ASAP to have the best option still available on your dream date.
Usually, wedding packages include the venue hire fee, catering, decorations, tables, chairs, and an open bar. However, it may depend on the type of wedding package you choose - basic wedding packages will include fewer extras than all-inclusive wedding packages.
There are no ground rules on who should pay for the wedding. It can be the bride and groom themselves, or their families who evenly split the costs between each other. So don’t be afraid to discuss that matter with your families, as it will help you draw up a reasonable wedding budget.
With a sprinkle of imagination, any venue can be transformed into the ideal space of your dreams! However, the most popular and inexpensive wedding venues are restaurants, bars, warehouses, lofts, and gardens. Spaces like art galleries, museums, or even zoos offer competitive prices, so they are also definitely worth considering!
