▹ View All: Budget off-the-grid wedding venues
With the average cost of a wedding sitting well above $36,000 in Australia, competition for affordable wedding venues, particularly in high density areas, can be high. The earlier you can lock in your date and location, the better your chances of securing a well priced venue in the region you want.
To make your budget stretch further, midweek and off-peak dates often deliver the best value. Many of the venues featured above offer stronger pricing from Monday to Thursday, as well as during winter and other quieter periods when demand is typically lower. If you are booking on shorter notice, it is also worth asking about last-minute availability and discounts for dates in the next 3 to 6 months, especially midweek.
