Australia's Most Luxurious Wedding Venues
Looking for a world class wedding destination in Australia? In curating this list of Australia's best wedding venues we've prioritised unique locations that offer a luxurious, one-of-a-kind wedding experience. At a minimum these venues come with luxury accommodation, 5 star ceremony & reception spaces and are idyllic wedding destinations for a weekend-long celebration.
The best places to get married in Australia cover a wide variety of venues ranging from luxury wedding resorts to exclusive private properties. Finding the perfect wedding destination is often easier when narrowed by state, with the varying climates and landscapes having an influence on the best wedding venues in each region.
For beach weddings there are many beautiful places on the South Coast of NSW and at private island resorts in the Whitsundays. With its tropical climate Queensland is also a hotspot for rainforest weddings, while private hilltop estates in the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Byron Bay hinterlands are among Australia's most scenic wedding venues.
In Victoria, luxury wedding venues embrace a rich culture of art, fine food & wine within the modern architecture of sophisticated hotels and estates. Some of Australia's most unique wedding destinations are in this state's country regions including a subterranean vault and cathedral wool shed.
In South Australia and Western Australia a recent surge in 5 star properties has created a wealth of premium wedding destinations within quintessential Aussie landscapes. And if getting married in the best of wild nature is your thing, Tasmania and the Blue Mountains have some of the most exclusive wedding locations in Australia.
From the Hunter Valley and Yarra Valley's iconic wineries to hidden gems off the beaten track, these are the best luxury wedding venues in Australia.
