The 150 Best Australian Wedding Venues

There's no central registry of Australian wedding venues — just hundreds of properties scattered across eight states and territories, from Tasmanian vineyard estates to heritage-listed estates in Queensland. This is the list we wished existed.

This list focuses on wedding-first, exclusive-hire venues whose public positioning centres on weddings. A few also host retreats or private stays or have restaurants and wineries attached but we’ve tried to highlight properties with weddings at their core.

Where possible, we've noted venues with an established reputation. Properties without an established review presence have not been considered.
