Everything you need to know about weddings in Blue Mountains
Your Blue Mountains Luxury WeddingLuxury Venue Costs & InclusionsBest Seasons for a Mountain WeddingTravel & Accommodation for Guests
A luxury wedding in the Blue Mountains is defined by its breathtaking natural backdrop and exclusive, private settings. It's an experience that blends untamed wilderness with refined elegance.
- The Vibe: Expect sophistication, romance, and a deep connection to nature. Ceremonies often take place on clifftop lookouts, in manicured gardens of historic estates, or within intimate, architecturally designed chapels.
- Ceremony Styles: Popular choices include garden ceremonies with escarpment views, intimate elopements at secluded lookouts, or grand affairs within private manors.
The region is well-equipped to host world-class events with exceptional service and suppliers.
- Reception Venues: Choose from grand ballrooms in historic hotels, elegant dining rooms with roaring fireplaces, or modern event spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the valley below.
- Legalities: Standard Australian marriage laws apply. You'll need to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) with your celebrant at least one month before your wedding day.
The cost of a luxury wedding venue in the Blue Mountains reflects the exclusivity, location, and high level of service. Prices are typically quoted on a per-head basis.
- Average Costs: For a premium experience, expect to budget between $250 and $400+ per person. This often includes venue hire, multi-course dining, and a premium beverage package.
- Key Price Factors: Exclusivity (hiring the entire estate), day of the week (Saturdays are premium), season, and the calibre of inclusions will all influence the final cost.
Luxury packages are designed to be comprehensive, simplifying your planning process.
Common Inclusions:
- Exclusive hire of the venue and grounds
- A dedicated wedding coordinator
- Gourmet multi-course menu and canapés
- Premium beverage package (local wines often featured)

Each season in the Blue Mountains offers a unique and magical atmosphere for a luxury wedding.
- Autumn (March-May): Arguably the most popular season. Famous for its vibrant foliage, mild days, and crisp evenings. Perfect for photos amidst the golden colours of Mount Wilson and Blackheath.
- Winter (June-August): Incredibly romantic and cosy. Imagine roaring log fires, misty valleys, and even the chance of snow. Ideal for intimate, formal weddings in grand estates.
- Spring (September-November): The region comes alive with blooming gardens. Think floral archways and vibrant colours. Weather is generally pleasant and sunny.
Planning around the season is key to a flawless event.
- Summer (December-February): Offers long, warm days and balmy evenings perfect for outdoor cocktails. Venues with air conditioning are essential. Be mindful of potential fire restrictions.
- Photography: The 'golden hour' light over the Jamison Valley is spectacular year-round. A local photographer will know the best hidden spots for breathtaking shots.
- Contingency Plans: Mountain weather can be unpredictable. All high-end venues will have a beautiful indoor ceremony option as a backup.
The Blue Mountains are easily accessible, making it a convenient destination for local and international guests.
- By Car: The main towns like Katoomba and Leura are approximately a 90-minute drive from Sydney CBD via the M4 Motorway.
