5. South Australia – Barossa Valley
Rustic weddings are all the rage in the Barossa Valley. Get married at a vineyard for an intimate and special day. Pair your guests with wine, cheeses and fine dining that will not only entice their appetites but provide a memorable day no-one will forget. Farm style weddings are a great way to bring together the people you love to share your wedding day with you.

Perth offers an array of hotels, resorts and villas for classic weddings. Nestled between the Outback and the Indian Ocean, venues in Perth have everything you need to create an idyllic and quintessential wedding day.
7. Northern Territory – Darwin
The destination for a contemporary and intimate wedding with the bonus of an adventurous honeymoon is one of the National Parks, or you could even keep it relaxed and quiet at a fishing resort.

8. Australian Capital Territory – Canberra
Not only is Canberra Australia’s capital but it is widely known as the Bush Capital because of its forests and farmlands. Kayaks and sailboats on the lake provide the perfect place to have a wedding. What grander view than that of elegant sailboats docked at a yacht club? Sophistication and serenity would be the theme for wedding planners in Canberra.
