There’s no question that planning a wedding can be an overwhelming process. Deciding on a date, scrutinising over the guest list, finding ‘the dress’, choosing a photographer, selecting the flowers… the list goes on. It really is a LOT! And I’m sure many of us have had an encounter with someone who’s let it all get the better of them… (AKA the #bridezilla)!
One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make when planning your wedding is the venue. Whether you’re looking to host a traditional event or prefer to do something outside the box, your venue choice can really set the tone for the day. The good news, my blushing brides, is that you’re absolutely SPOILED for choice here in SA with the number of incredible wedding venues at your fingertips!

When it comes to making a big decision like this, I personally put a lot of faith in word-of-mouth recommendations. So to help you out, we asked our trusty Adelady community to let us know the places they think our brides-to-be simply MUST check out if they’re in the midst of planning their special day. There are SO many places on this list which I never knew existed… and also plenty of ‘tried and tested’ venues as well.
Whether you fancy a large or intimate affair, an inner city shindig or a soirée amongst the vineyards… peruse this list and I guarantee your cup will runneth over with wedding day inspo!
