Do you feel like you could use some inspiration? Here’s a short list of the most common wedding venue types in Sydney:

• Waterfront venues – Sydney boasts one of the most picturesque harbours in the world, so why not include it in your wedding? A special day deserves a special backdrop after all! One of our favourites is Icebergs Dining Room in Bondi Beach. You can also opt for a boat wedding venue if you wish to be quite literally immersed in the stunning Sydney waters. These venues are becoming increasingly common in Sydney's wedding scene. Some of our top suggestions include the M.V. Vagabond Princess and Bella Vista.

• Heritage-listed venues – Take advantage of the historic side of Sydney and book a venue with old-world charm and a story to tell. Perfect for couples who love all things vintage! One of the lovely heritage-listed room venues available in Sydney is located at the Moore Park Golf Club in Centennial Park. Enjoy being surrounded by history while getting married in this ideal setting.

• Garden venues  – Lavish lawns, shady trees, a sunny ceremony and fairy lights during the reception. We love garden wedding venues, and so do hundreds of Sydneysiders! These types of weddings offer the ideal scenic ambience, which is why gardens are such popular spaces for weddings. They also require less work to decorate because they are already so beautiful, but even if you choose, you already have the ideal backdrop. Providing a sense of connection to nature, they can be ideal locations for small and large wedding ceremonies and allow your guests to mingle, and enjoy the lovely occasion while still taking in the breathtaking views. Tagvenue offers plenty of beautiful garden venues, including Will & Mike's, Laurelbank Willoughby and the Cottage Lawns at Host Co.

• Rooftop venues – There’s no better backdrop for a bridal bash in Sydney than a Sydney Harbour sunset, and it’s best observed from one of the city’s stunning rooftops! These magnificent venues offer breathtaking views of the city. Eastenders Banquet Hall, which is located in Mascot provides breathtaking views of the metropolitan cityscape.

• Customizable indoor venues – These locations are a timeless option that will inspire your inner wedding planner. These venues are completely customizable when it comes to practically every aspect of a wedding. The decor, as well as the food, beverages, and entertainment, may all be chosen to match any theme.
