What to Consider When Choosing a Venue

If you’re planning a wedding, it’s also worth checking out our breakdown of catering costs to help manage your budget. Many venues offer onsite catering, but for more flexibility, you can choose a trusted catering company to deliver to your location—especially useful for BYO venues and remote properties.
Local Tips
The Blue Mountains climate is cooler and more temperate than Sydney, making it ideal for spring and autumn events. Winter weddings can be magical, especially with open fires and mountain views, but always plan for cold weather. Due to the region’s popularity, especially around Leura, Katoomba, and Blackheath, book early for weekends and public holidays. Make sure your venue is accessible for guests who may be unfamiliar with mountain roads, and consider transport or accommodation nearby for overnight stays.
