Like venues and wedding suppliers, oftentimes wedding vehicles can be booked out several months in advance. If you have a particular car in mind, lock it in early. As always, the earlier you book your vehicle, the more likely you are to get your dream car. We recommed checking out Enrik Limousines!

As a premium, cool-climate wine region, the Yarra Valley produces a fine array of styles and varieties that are absolutely perfect for weddings and celebrations.

An ideal Yarra Valley wedding wine selection would include:

One sparkling wine – ideally available throughout the event – not just for the toast!

Two white wines – a fresh, bright, crisp Pinot Gris; and a more complex Chardonnay, the Yarra Valley’s flagship white variety

A crisp Rosé – a very fashionable inclusion and a great Yarra Valley style – no matter what the season!

Two red wines – a bright, spicy Pinot Noir for the younger demographic; and a stylish Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon for the traditionalists.

When planning a wedding, the honeymoon is typically planned as a post-wedding event. How about easing into your wedding day with a pre-wedding moon by spending some much deserved time in the Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges?

Why do it?

A pre-wedding moon is a great idea if you have lots of guests attending from interstate or overseas. If your ‘special’ guests can arrive early too, a pre-wedding moon gives you a chance to catch up with people in a relaxed way and build towards the excitement of the big day together.

Get a real feel for our beautiful region with wineries, delicious vineyard lunches, relaxing day spas and of course stunning nature and wildlife.

Start getting excited about your married life and the commitment that you're making. You're too excited to be at work anyway!

Mid-week weddings, once seen as a budget-friendly option are becoming way more popular. While they’re an excellent way to prevent budget blowout, there are several other advantages too.

1. Weekends are incredibly popular, so if you have your heart set on a specific venue or photographer and everyone’s booked for 20 months of weekends, you may not have to wait so long to assemble your perfect wedding without compromise.

2. Not always, but often smaller weddings, more intimate wedding ceremonies for just close friends and family are perfectly suited to mid-week.

3. Discounted rates and mid-week specials can help you save your budget, which is excellent if you’re saving for a house deposit or hoping to splash out a little bit more on your honeymoon.

4. Weekends, particularly in the warmer months, can be busy and choosing a weekday means fewer schedule conflicts.

5. Your guests get a day off (or a super-long weekend). Who doesn’t love a day off?

Weddings don’t have to be on weekends! There we’ve said it. There are seven days every week and every one of them is a perfect day for love and a Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges wedding.

Weekday weddings mean you might avoid some of the extra costs that weekend bookings attract and many venues see your wedding as an extra opportunity to make a happy occasion and give you their full attention.
