Is a winery a good location for a wedding? Written by Charis White, Melbourne based marriage celebrant

So, you are thinking of having your wedding at a winery? AMAZING!!!!!

I love doing weddings in the Yarra Valley, Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula or down the Bellarine Peninsula.

Having your wedding at a winery gives your wedding a luxe feel. They are often boutique wineries that highlight their wines throughout the evening of your reception.

My biggest tip for a winery wedding, is to get a bus for your guests. You want everyone to be able to enjoy the night and not have to think about driving home. Busses will allow your guests to let their hair down, have a drink and enjoy the night.

Another fabulous inclusion is to organise some accommodation in the area, for people who want to stay the night, and explore the area the next day.

Here are a few of my favourite wineries for weddings:
