To make it easier to coordinate, manage expenses and reduce stress, Hills Weddings and Events has created a guide that is sure to make the planning process in Sydney easier than ever!   

Wedding Venue Checklist 

Although it can seem daunting at first, the key to creating a wedding venue checklist is to think about the experience you want your guests to have. Here are some key factors to consider:  

• The venue should be well located, with accommodation for guests nearby and ease of access 

• Ask the venue about availability, packages they offer, cancellation charges and any extra fees that may apply  

• Confirm whether the size and capacity of the location suits not the number of guests as well as the activities planned.  

• Does the venue have its own in-house catering with customisation?  

The ideal wedding venue combines stunning views and decor with high-quality amenities. Biviano’s Dural is a beautiful, stand-alone venue featuring landscaped gardens, lush surroundings, private dining and elegant interior design.  

Vendors 

No wedding preparation checklist is complete without a vendors section that covers catering, photography, entertainment, florists and more. Here are some suggestions for how to structure the vendors checklist.  

Photographer and Videographer
