With the stunning Sydney Harbour featuring so many landmarks, it is no wonder couples flock to the area to bring their dream wedding to life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Here are eight gorgeous Sydney Harbour weddings to inspire you…<\/p>\n

Cameron Perrin proposed to Hine Te<\/a> on the Sydney Harbour during the city’s outdoor light festival, Vivid. So it was little wonder that they decided to head back to the picturesque waterline for their wedding.<\/p>\n

They were married at the Royal Botanic Gardens<\/a>, before their 107 guests were treated to a reception at five-star hotel Pier One Sydney with incredible views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Lunar Park.<\/p>\n

Annette Vitetta and Anthony Verges<\/a> had the best of both worlds on their wedding day – a stylish and sophisticated wedding ceremony in Bradfield Park on the water\u2019s edge, overlooking the Sydney Opera, followed by fun and frivolity at Luna Park for their wedding reception.<\/p>\n

Their 152 guests had less than 300 meters to travel to reach Luna Park\u2019s Crystal Ballroom<\/a>, where they were given ride passes and unleashed their inner children.<\/p>\n

Smoke on the water<\/h2>\n

Sandra Cho and David Kim <\/a>were slightly devastated when their Sydney wedding was taken over by an intense smoke haze from burns offs around the city.<\/p>\n

They had chosen Pier One to give their international guests the best possible views of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, but the smoke provided a veil that obscured the usually spectacular views.<\/p>\n

Despite the haze, Sandra says they had the most magical day, and loved the unique effect of the smoke in their wedding photos.<\/p>\n

Party atmosphere in abundance<\/h2>\n
\"Jess

With the venues close to the Sydney Harbour, the couple were able to get some magical wedding snaps on the waterfront.<\/p>\n

The hotel’s Altitude Restaurant gave the impression of being on top of the world, with guests getting the feeling of “dancing on the city.”<\/p>\n

The venues were within walking distance of each other, and allowed the couple to make the most of iconic photo opportunities at the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46632,"template":"","au_article_tag":[118,399],"class_list":["post-46631","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-general","au_article_category-real-couples","au_article_category-weddingvenues","au_article_tag-sydney","au_article_tag-sydney-weddings"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/46631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/46631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=46631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
