Top 10 Wedding Venues in Sydney | 2019
THE TOP 10 WEDDING VENUES IN SYDNEY!
G’day Mates!
Joel here! Your favourite NSW wedding photographer bloke wanting to offer you some epic insights for my top wedding venues in Sydney, Australia!
Over the last 7 years or so I’ve shot all around the globe/Internationally and I feel like I know what makes a wedding venue EPIC, so below is a list of my 5 Favourite Sydney Wedding Venues and what makes them awesome! Let’s go!
Drum roll, please…
10. Doltone House - Jone's Bay Wharf - Darling Harbour - Hyde Park
The always amazing Doltone House. A very modern pick for your wedding day. If you’re a fan of amazing city views, very elegant designs and high roof to hang a zillion floral designs from, Doltone is the venue for you!
Only an hour from Sydney CBD, Gledswood Homestead & Winery is a little slice of the old timer country vibes in Sydney!
When I’m doing research on wedding venues, i always make sure they have potential inside the venue, and within 20 minutes of the venue! Gledwood is a big, beautiful property surrounded by old woodern barns and little cottages, but it also has a ton of amazing natural areas nearby to capture some epic sunset shots!
Horizons Beach Venue was one of the first locations I ever photographed and what I remember from it is alot of blue skies, white sand, and boho/hamptons style vibes! If you’re a beach lover and you want your wedding to be like a corona ad, Horizions Beach Venue, Sydney is for you!
A wedding venue that’s literally a frisbee throw away from my home (Probalby couldn’t reach it with a tennis ball, haha!) venue, summersalt has a ton of great benefits that alot of locations in Sydney don’t have!
First of all, it’s the only wedding venue that has 2 epic national parks within 10 - 20 minutes drive which leads you to a world of natural oppertunities when it comes to wedding photos!
You’re right on the always amazing Cronulla Beach which is usually pretty easy going when it comes to beach go-ers and tourists. You’ll have the beach to yourself which is always nice when it comes to getting images taken. Nobody wants random in the background of their wedding photos!
6. Icebergs Bondi
Bondi Icebergs pretty much speaks for itself in real life and images. With one of the best views in Sydney if you’re a beach bum like myself, this is the palce for you if you’re keen to open your wallet and splurge quite a bit on your big day!
It’s always a good time with a ton of tourists and smiling faces when you go for a walk down the beach!
A hot tip for Icebergs is check the swell or there’s no chance of going down on the rocks or down by the pool!
Taronga Zoo, Giraffes, City views and freaking meerkats! How can you go wrong?
A hot tip if you love nature! Head down Bradley’s Head Road. On the east side near the ligthouse, theres a set of stairs, walk down them and you’ll be on your own private little beach in the city!
A really quaint, beachy vibe where you’re literally 10 steps away from Cronulla Beach and the water.
It also is a great choice if you’re a beach bum, love some sun and want beach photographs/shots on the rocks!
Like Summersalt above, you’re also close to so much nature with The Royal National Park and Kurnell National Park just around the corner!
The Deckhouse, Woolwich, Sydney! Effy & Tom at Sunset!
Some amazing clients of mine at the always epic Deckhouse, Woolwich, Sydney going for an adventure!
The Deckhouse is one of Australia’s oldest boatyards still running to this day! With overgrown vine walls, CBD views and amazing food, this is a solid pick for your big day!
Dana & Martin having a quiet moment under the floral arch at The Grounds of Alexandria on their wedding day!
The Grounds of Alexandria always remind me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Facotry with their big old brick chimneys in the background, twists and turns inside the venue and a bunch of quiry items like old phone booths, overgrown utes full of flowers and lanesways full of plants!
An amazing choice if you’re a city fan who loves the quirky venues!
The Communinal Showers at Qstation! Perfect for Dark and Moody Wedding Images!
The Glasshouse at Qstation, Manly
And the winner, Ladies & Gentleman! Qstation, Manly!
Why does Qstation win the Top 10 wedding venues in Sydney do you ask? It was originally a quarantine station and is supposedly haunted with a ton of creepy buildings around property, all with super interesting, some scary stories and history!
The unique venue in the heart of Sydney is a wedding photographers paradise with at on of unique buildings to use from glasshouses, old communical bathrooms to city views on the old wharf!
If you’re into a dark and moody vibe when it comes to wedding photography, or some bright and airy tones, Qstation is for you!
