When it comes to wedding planning, finding the perfect venue is likely to feature at the very top of every couple’s list. After all, the wedding venue plays a vital role in shaping the overall look and feel of your big day with everything built around it. From determining the budget to how many guests can attend, it’s important to make sure your chosen NSW wedding venue is able to cater to all of your needs.
To help make the whole process easier, we’re going to answer that all-important question – how do I find the perfect wedding venue in NSW? Whether you’re just starting the search for your wedding venue, or you already have somewhere in mind, Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley has long been one of the most popular wedding destinations in New South Wales – and here’s why.
Location, location, location
Where you tie the knot is one of the toughest decisions a couple will make, especially as everything else is built around it. Luckily, NSW is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes, ranging from beautiful beaches to majestic mountain ranges – and everything else in between. While your big day is undoubtedly about celebrating your love, you need to factor your guests into the decision-making – especially if you want maximum attendance.
How accessible is the location? How far away is the nearest airport or train station? Is it off the beaten track? And if so, how far? Is there adequate parking and accommodation nearby? All of these things are serious considerations that can make or break your big day. The comfort of your guests shows you have thought about them too, which goes a long way to everyone feeling the love.
A little under a 1-hour drive from Sydney Airport, and less than 2-hours from Sydney CBD, The Hawkesbury Valley provides the perfect setting for elegant country weddings that reflect the beauty of the region without coming across as pretentious. Home to foliage-covered valleys, meandering waterways, orchards and natural beauty at every turn, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to those all-important wedding photos.
