Add your VendorCountry Wedding Venues in NSW for a Romantic and Laid-Back Wedding
If you are planning a wedding in Australia, you should know about country wedding venues in NSW. They offer a romantic setting with stunning gardens, spectacular views, and lush farmland. They can be perfect for couples who want something different. If you are looking for a place that is both unique and relaxing, these affordable wedding venues will give you exactly what you need.
For those who love the outdoors, there are many great options available. You could choose one of the farms with stunning views and onsite accommodation or even opt for a vineyard wedding in a budget-friendly private estate in the Southern Highlands. The best part is that most of these locations are open year-round.
You need to consider many other things when choosing a rustic wedding venue. Here is a list of some important factors:
Location – This will be very important because it will determine how easy it will be for guests to travel to your wedding. It is always better to pick a location that guests can easily access. Also, it is good to choose a location with a lot of natural beauty, breathtaking views and accommodation onsite if you have many out-of-town guests.
Cost – Depending on the size of the venue, the cost of renting it out might vary. However, the prices of rustic venues are usually lower compared to larger weddings in traditional wedding ceremony and reception venues.
Size – Some of these country wedding venues are quite large and can accommodate up to 200 people. Others are more intimate and can only hold around 50 people, making them perfect for budget-friendly, small weddings. Choose a venue based on the number of people attending your special event.
Amenities – Most of these country wedding venues have everything you need. For example, they may include tables, chairs, linens, decorations, catering services, etc. Make sure that you check all of this before booking.
View – When you visit a country wedding venue, take time to look at the view. You want to find a place that offers epic views of green hills and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Look for a location with lots of ancient oak trees, lakes, mountains, etc.
Complete Privacy – A country wedding venue that allows privacy is ideal. You don’t want to share your wedding pictures with anyone else, and these beautiful locations provide an exclusive hire for the entire wedding day. You can consider opting for weekend hire and have many fun activities onsite in a scenic location fr the entire weekend.
Facilities – Check whether the country wedding venue has the necessary facilities such as bathrooms, showers, parking spaces, etc.
Food – If you are hosting an outdoor wedding, make sure that the food provided is delicious and made with fresh produce. Choosing an all-inclusive wedding package means you won't have to search for wedding vendors separately, including a caterer .
Also, these beautiful wedding venues usually offer elopement packages for couples who want to have private wedding ceremonies and celebrate their love, just the two of them in the native bushland with beautiful regional views.
Best Time of Year for a Country Wedding in NSW
If you are planning a country wedding in Australia, here are some of the best times of the year to get married:
Spring: Spring is one of the most popular times to plan a boho wedding in the countryside. The weather is nice and warm, so you can enjoy having your wedding outdoors in a rustic reception venue without worrying about rain or snow.
Summer: Summer is another great season to host outdoor wedding receptions. It's hot outside, but not too hot. Plus, the sun will be shining bright throughout the day. This means that you will be able to capture beautiful photos of your guests enjoying themselves outdoors in an upbeat mood.
Autumn: Fall is another great season for outdoor ceremonies. The leaves start changing colours, and it gets cooler outside. However, it's still sunny, and you can easily enjoy your wedding outdoors.
Winter: Winter is one of the least favourite times to host a wedding. But if you live in NSW, you'll probably be fine because the city is very well insulated from cold temperatures.
