With the most romantic day of the year just passed, we’re sure that plenty of our members now have a sparkling new addition to their left hand and are ready to start planning their wedding day. This month Best Venues is bringing you wedding venues from Australia. See our best of section designed for the brides-to-be who are looking for a fairytale wedding venue. Or maybe you’re looking at a specific venue type such as receptions in the countryside, in the city or (for those who’d like to stretch their budget a little further) underrated, but spectacular, registered clubs? We have plenty listed. There is something for every special couple – small, intimate restaurants for the close friends-and-family-only occasion and venues made for big family wedding dos. If you’re planning an autumn/winter wedding, then there’s still time and we’ve tried to find some venues flexible for both indoor and outdoor weddings.

If summer 2011 is your date then keep our wedding guide as a reference for the future by bookmarking the Best Venues Wedding Guide in your browser. That way you can check back for advice at any time.

Don’t forget we always have plenty of specials and packages available on Best Venues and this year we also have a brand new section for honeymoon packages: locations for your honeymoon that will match the perfection of your wedding day. It’s not just about the venues, of course, it’s about the dress, the hair, the bridesmaids, the rings, shall we go on..? So make sure you visit our wedding services section to find all the little extras you require.

If you’re looking for wedding gifts then Best Gift Certificates has a huge selection of restaurant vouchers, romantic packages or a flexible voucher if you’re not sure what to choose. We’re giving away one of our very own Best Gift Certificates this month so read on to find out how you can win.
