10 GREAT LOCATIONS FOR OUTDOOR WEDDING CEREMONIES IN SYDNEY.
Sydney is a popular wedding destination for both locals and couples from all over the world. Renowned for its natural beauty, stunning landmarks, and diverse culture it offers hundreds of truly beautiful and unique spots to hold a wedding ceremony.
Here we have taken a deeper dive into 10 of our favourite locations for outdoor wedding ceremonies in Sydney:
BALMORAL BEACH, MOSMAN
Balmoral Beach is located in a picturesque bay with clear waters, golden sand, and a sheltered Harbour, providing a stunning setting for wedding ceremonies despite being just 9 minutes from Sydneys CBD.
There are many popular spots to choose from at Balmoral beach for a beautiful ceremony location - from the romantic white pillars of the Balmoral Rotunda, the grassier flats on the north and south ends of the beach, or the secluded beauty of rocky point island - a tiny little island that juts out from the beach itself.
Whatever of these you prefer you can rest assured Balmoral beach provides an enchanting setting that allows couples to exchange their vows surrounded by the beauty of nature only minutes from Sydney city.
DAROOK PARK, CRONULLA
Another popular option for outdoor wedding ceremonies in Sydney's south is Darook Park in Cronulla.
Due to its relatively hidden location, Darook Park tends to be less crowded compared to more popular spots within the area, allowing couples to enjoy a more private and intimate wedding surrounded by nature.
ARC OF PINES, BICENTENNIAL PARK
For a ceremony with a stronger garden aesthetic, couples need look no further than the Arc of Pines at Sydney's Bicentennial Park.
As its name suggests it is a private and secluded slice of beauty bordered by stunning tall pine trees. This coupled with its beautiful outlook over the picturesque Lake Belvedere, and a large capacity of up to 200 people, makes The Arc of Pines another highly sought-after wedding location in Sydney’s Inner West.
QUIBAREE PARK, LAVENDER BAY
A lesser known location, that we like to recommend to all our couples looking for a beautiful ceremony location in Kirribilli - Quibaree Park is hard to find if you don’t know where to look.
A small exit off Lavender Street will lead you down a shady road and then out to one of the most stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on offer. The little private lawn makes for a beautiful ceremony location, with an even more special backdrop.
CLARK PARK, KIRRIBILLI
Just above Quibaree Park, a little higher on the hill - lies another one of Sydney's most beautiful spots to tie the knot.
A charming, green, and well-maintained little park, Clark Park also offers magnificent views of Sydney Harbour, including the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
HARBOUR VIEW LAWN, RBG
On most weekends you can find Lovesick doing a setup at Sydneys Royal Botanic Gardens, a popular destination with dozens of beautiful bookable lawns with different aesthetics and outlooks.
One of our personal favourites - is the “Harbour View Lawn”. One of the prime locations within the Royal Botanic Garden, this breathtaking spot offers couples spectacular panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Opera House, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
FRESH WATER VIEW RESERVE, FRESH WATER
Another little hidden gem in Sydney's North, FreshWater View Reserve is another beautiful wedding location which is quickly gaining popularity due to its panoramic views over Sydney's Water Beach.
Just a few minutes from Manly, this hidden gem sits on a quiet and tranquil suburban street - making it the perfect spot for an intimate wedding ceremony.
LUCINDA PARK, PALM BEACH
Looking a little further north of the city, Sydney has some of the most beautiful beaches the world has to offer. While these spots can tend to be a little busy, for a more private affair - Lucinda Park in Palm Beach offers the perfect solution.
Lucinda Park's laid-back and tranquil atmosphere makes it a perfect place for couples seeking a peaceful ceremony outside the city. If you did not know about this hidden gem, it is definitely worth considering for the big day.
JAPANESE GARDEN, AUBURN BOTANIC GARDENS
For a beautiful wedding location further west of Sydney's CBD, look no further than The Japanese Garden in the Auburn Botanic Gardens.
Another popular choice for many couples - this spot offers a serene and romantic aesthetic inspired by traditional Japanese garden design. Complete with cherry blossoms, maples, bamboo, and azaleas, the Japanese Garden is beautiful all year around.
PAPERBARK GROVE NORTH, CENTENNIAL PARK
Another location Lovesick frequents most weekends is Sydney's Centennial Park right in the heart of Sydney. With lawns and gardens of all different varieties Centennial Park is a popular location that can cater for any wedding ceremony vision. Perhaps the most popular of the lot is the stunning “Paper Bark Grove” located on the north side.
A long tunnel of paperbark trees provides one of the most striking backdrops to be found in all of Sydney for an outdoor wedding ceremony.
