Australia is expansive, secluded, unique and magnificent. Courtesy of high immigration over the decades, the country offers diverse cultures and traditions, which is also evident in its weddings. With one majority of the population following Christianity, the other not following any religion and the rest following a mix of religions, the country sees both religious and civil ceremonies. Even if you are having your wedding in a place of worship, you have to get it legalised by an authorised celebrant.
As for a destination for your Australian wedding, the country has a variety of magical settings and landscapes. From settings such as farm weddings in New South Wales to beach weddings on the charming shores of Queensland, it has it all. You can also find lots of Airbnbs, which offer perfect spots for intimate weddings. For more information, keep reading to learn about the best Airbnb wedding venues in Australia.
