Choosing the Ultimate Sydney Wedding Venue

May 3, 2012 by Morris Images

Things to Consider When Choosing the Ultimate Sydney Wedding Venue

Being Sydneysiders we are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the ultimate wedding venue; beachside, harbour side, rural styles or wineries, mountain views, industrial, modern, historic – you name it.

I’ve decided to write a blog about this because service at venues are the #1 gripe from my couples after their wedding day. There are lots of should’a, could’a, would’as that really could’a been prevented.

So based on my observations and feedback from my couples I have compiled some bullet points to consider:

  • What’s the venue’s service really like and what experience do they have serving large groups of people simultaneously? Are they set up to deliver 150 steaks within a ten minute window, all hot, tasty and served without attitude? Ask around for feedback, spy on Facebook and search blogs. Not all venues specialise in weddings and don’t always know instinctively what to do and when.
  • Look for staff with a high Care Factor who go out of their way to sort things out so you won’t have to. If they’re lukewarm before you book, they may turn colder when under pressure.
  • Do you need special permission or insurance to use smoke machines, fireworks, candles? I’ve seen a bride cry on her wedding day over this one!
  • Will you have enough bump in / bump out time to decorate and ‘break down’ the room? If it’s a lunchtime wedding, have they scheduled another wedding straight after you?
  • Is there space for your super amazing bonkers photo booth?
  • Who will be on hand to help with logistics like moving the cake into position, bringing the champagne and flutes without being asked three times? I’m willing to personally do it again but can you help me move the table?
  • Is there mood lighting available for your bridal dance or will you be romantically swaying to your favourite song under glaring factory lights or while holding a candle?
  • Are they accommodating to the needs of other key suppliers like…well, me, videographers, florists, drivers, DJs, cake maker, your decorating team. We all need time to set up so the day runs smoothly.

Speaking of should’as, I probably should’a kept this blog shorter but I feel quite strongly about good service. I hope this advice was helpful and good luck with your search!

Testimonials

I just wanted to say thank you so much from Chris and myself for everything you did on Friday to help with Katie and Matt’s wedding day.  It was really a pleasure to meet you and to deal with you, not only are you truly professional in your approach to everything on the day and night, you are also very helpful and respectful and a very nice person as well.
Robyn, Bride Katie’s Mum
Thank you both so much for the work you put in. Not to mention helping out tracking down my groom for the ceremony, sorting out the flowers and just taking control when things went a bit off centre.
Jessica and Cory
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! We love them Morris, thanks so much! Can’t wait for the wedding now, the photos and the honeymoon are what I’m most looking forward to from the wedding (oh and marrying Lance of course lol).
Kylie and Lance
I am looking for the LOVE IT button cause this is more than LIKE. You and your team were amazing not only on the day but the lead up as well. Thank you very much.
Chris and Lauren
Morris, I wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you for yesterday. None of our friends or family had anything but considerable praise for you guys and it would not have been the same day without your wit, patience and fantastic advice.
Eloise and Will
Love. Love. LOVE! Just got back from our honeymoon and made a bee-line for your facey page to see the teaser shots – sooooo awesome. Thankyou for everything you did on the day – you were above and beyond being our wedding photographer.
Angie and Richard
Thank you for yesterday. You were absolutely amazing and the best photographer in the world. You made our day so easy and enjoyable and your creativity with photos is just unbelievable.
Emma and Dennis
WOW!! What can I say… OMG…lol. The photos are absolutely incredible! Matt, my family and myself could not be happier. We are so impressed! It took us about 2.5 hours to go through them and I still have not felt like I have seen them properly.
Katie and Matt
