Your Guide to Hiring Small Wedding Venues in Brisbane

Every wedding results from meticulous planning and research, no matter the size. The first and most crucial step, of course, is the venue, for this will determine the decorations, the catering and so much more. Brisbane has some amazing venues for hire, but the cost can play an important role in this decision. That is why nowadays, it is not unusual for small weddings to start in the registry office, as couples choose to get the ceremony out of the way and splurge only on the reception.

Pubs and restaurants are great and easy choices for a small wedding. Whether you need to use the whole venue or simply a function room, you can save on costs with minimum spend options or the often low per-person fee. Brisbane has a slew of great restaurants and pubs in the Central Business District, especially along St Mary Street. Easy to reach by public transport, and not too far from a bunch of venues with waterfront views, this is a great district for a reception. 

If you head north towards Spring Hill, you will find some more amazing small spaces that are affordable and have great views of the city below. There are also several venues, including hotels, that specialise in small wedding packages—a great option sure to save you both money and headaches. Often times these are a really great deal, as small wedding packages can even offer cosmetic assistance, as well as decorative elements, not to mention affordable catering options.

How to host a small wedding venue in Brisbane on a budget?

The first thing to consider when hiring a small wedding is the location. If you're looking for something affordable, but close to Brisbane's city centre, then you should consider getting married in one of the many amazing venues located on the city's north side in areas like Newstead or Bowen Hills. If you want to get married in a more rural setting, then there are many beautiful options in Upper Mount Gravatt and across Mount Nebo Rd. If you're looking for an affordable option, look for a venue which allows outside catering or bringing your own food. If you want to host your wedding at a venue with in-house catering, consider booking one with minimum spend pricing, which is going to be your best bet as hiring the space comes for free and the only thing you need to pay for is the food and drinks. You may also choose an affordable wedding package, which will provide venue hire and a set menu without breaking the bank. The biggest money-saver is holding your wedding during the off-peak season between November and March when hire prices drop considerably. You can also hold your wedding on a weekday as the price is much lower than on the weekend.
