According to our latest Annual Wedding Industry Report, South Australia wedding costs sit between $25,000 and $35,000, which falls slightly below the national average. Of that total budget, a significant $15,000 to $20,000 goes towards the cost of the wedding venue. Fortunately, wedding venue packages often include catering, planning services, and even music and entertainment options.
Planning a wedding on a budget doesn't mean sacrificing charm or style in Adelaide. Many couples find controlling their guest list is key to achieving a beautiful celebration while sticking to a modest budget. Intimate venues, such as small boutique spaces or cosy garden locations, should be on your shortlist. Venues offering DIY or BYO packages are also an excellent way to keep costs low, allowing you to arrange your own catering and even enlist the help of loved ones.
For affordable Adelaide venue options where you won't sacrifice charm or style, consider top picks like Rydges Adelaide, which offers amazing value with superb South Australian food and wine.

You have your heart set on a beautiful Adelaide wedding, but when should you schedule the celebration? You almost can’t go wrong with Adelaide’s pleasant Mediterranean climate, which makes it an ideal location for weddings year-round.
Popular months and seasons to get married in South Australia are spring and autumn. The weather is deliciously mild during these seasons, with plenty of sunshine and rainy days. By avoiding the summer months (which can be sweltering), you can make the most of the weather with an outdoor ceremony or garden reception.
Plus, who can resist the new blossoms of spring or the autumnal foliage for a wedding backdrop? Even if you opt for an indoor celebration, don’t miss out on getting some outdoor wedding portraiture. You can thank us later!
