Audley Dance Hall Wedding - Top Ceremony locations

​If you’re looking for wedding location that feels like a destination wedding without leaving Sydney, Audley Dance Hall tick’s all the boxes. As soon as you enter the Royal National Park you will you travel down the winding bends that take you down to the river. After slowing down to take in the vista as you cross the narrow weir you will round another bend and come across Audley Dance Hall. It’s such a lovely venue with such a caring team with the added bonus of a café underneath stocked with lots of tasty treats. You will feel like you have stepped back in time with the bonus that some areas of Audley don’t have wi-fi or phone connection which allows you to truly enjoy your time here.
 
With around 10 ceremony options for your Audley Dance Hall wedding it was so hard for us to narrow it down to our top 5. Our tip is to make a day of it and explore all that each location has to offer. Grab a coffee or lunch from the Dance Hall and take time to sit in each spot and take in all of the natural serenity. You will find 'your spot' in no time.

Wattle Forest
Wattle Forest is our most favourite ceremony location for an Audley Dance Hall Wedding. Tall ancient cliffs with the creek flowing underneath create such a breathtaking backdrop. The gully intensifies the songs of all of the native bird’s so much that you can pick out each individual tune as they fly between the trees. There is such a serenity that creates such a magical setting for your wedding ceremony. No to mention the dappled golden light that your photographer will love as you have your photo’s by the river while your guests relax with a glass of wine in hand.

​Willow Tree Flat
The grand Willow tree perched by the river creates a stunning backdrop for your wedding ceremony. A quiet location where you and your guests will be immersed in nature which set’s such a calm and relaxed mood for your entire day. With the river in the background you can go all out with your floral’s to create an epic scene that your guests wont forget.

​Currawong Flat
A short walk from the Dance Hall, your guests will love walking over the rustic wooden bridge that will frame all of your ceremony shots. While not as private as some of your other options, the combination of the babbling river and bridge will make you fall in love with this spot which will create a stunning setting for you to say your I-do’s.

One of the most common queries we receive is for information on packages and pricing. With that in mind we thought it might be helpful to put together a summary of what floral elements can be included for different budgets and why we don't create wedding flower packages.
 
When planning your wedding flowers, it’s important to know that there’s flexibility when it comes to both budgeting and the various elements you include in your day. 

1. Decide how important flowers are to you as a couple for your wedding day – do you feel the flowers and styling will set the tone for your day or do you fall into the ‘I’m not a flower person’ category.
2. Consider your venue – does it need an abundance of additional florals and styling or is it a gorgeous space where only accents of florals are needed?

We want to get to know our couples, take into account your venue and personal style, which is why we don’t offer set packages. We want to ensure that your wedding florals compliment the elements of your special day.
 
The following budget guides include what we find are wedding day floral staples. Once you decide on your budget and floral must have’s we can then guide you as to how to make the best use of your budget. 
 
Under $1000 

• Perfect price point for small intimate weddings, an elopement or where your venue includes décor

 

• Often, this will include a bridal bouquet, a few bridesmaid bouquets as well as buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen and buttonholes and corsages for your closest family members

 

• For a more intimate wedding with a smaller bridal party it could also include a small feature installation at the ceremony or reception

$1500 – $3000

• Bridal party flowers  

 

• Small table arrangements for the guest tables and bridal table at the reception Or hire of an arbour with a floral installation at the ceremony (upper end of the range would include both)

• Bridal party flowers, a feature ceremony element and standard size table arrangements for the reception

 

• At the upper end of this budget you could also include additional floral elements for the ceremony and reception to enhance your venue

$5,500 – $7,500

• This price range falls within our typical full service wedding – most often this includes bridal party flowers, a large scale ceremony floral feature, an installation at the reception, as well as large arrangements of flowers and candles for the tables.

 

• At the higher end of the budget it also includes additional ceremony elements such as flowers for the signing table, signage, aisle, petal toss and additional reception elements to compliment your venue

A few other things to consider:

• By sharing your flower budget with us we can take your floral must haves for your day and guide you as to how to get maximum flower impact for your day.  It can sometimes be as simple as adjusting the size of your arrangements, the volume of flowers in each design or the flower types we use. 

• Expect higher costs due to Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day due to increases in flowers costs from our growers

 

• COVID-19 has added 20-50% to the cost of flowers and flower budgets are not stretching as far as they used to.

 

• If you have your heart set on varieties that are premium blooms or out of season and imported for your date be prepared for them eat into your flower budget too.

 

• Each budget range allows for delivery and labour charges on the day for weddings local to us. We have an amazing team who work extremely hard to create magical blooms for your wedding day and there is so much work that goes on behind the scenes to create your wedding day florals. 

 

• Labour fees also start increasing the further away the venue is, and can vary dramatically depending on the venue. Each venue has it’s own rules for timings on when we can set up and when we need to pack down. All of this has an impact on costs for the day. 

 

• Every florist prices differently and it might be that florists in your area charge more or less for some items than we do. We’re hoping this information can act as a guide to help your planning and isn’t a formal quote.

 
We are always excited to work with couples regardless of their budget. We don’t have a minimum spend requirement and are always happy to provide suggestions on where your money is best spent, and how to get the best value from your flowers to make the greatest impact on the day.
