As one of Australia's most stunningly picturesque regions, it's hardly surprising that the natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula attracts couples searching for a destination wedding, as it plays the perfect place to host your friends and family for your special day. The region has everything that you could want in a wedding location, and with more and more people choosing to tie the knot here, an entire industry has sprung up to help them create the event of their dreams.
With everything from great beaches to spectacular food and wine, the Peninsula is perfectly prepared for weddings of whatever style. Be it an intimate ceremony overlooking the world-class golf courses here at Moonah Links or a larger affair on our recreation lawn, complete with own Moonah tree which presides over the beautiful ceremonies that we host.
Destination weddings and the Mornington Peninsula
A big part of the huge interest that people have in getting married on the Mornington Peninsula comes from the recent rise in popularity of so-called 'destination weddings' over the last 10 years. Destination weddings are perfect for couples who want to make their occasion truly unique by staging it in an exotic location – they have all the thrill and romance of an elopement, but your friends and family get to come too!
According to Bridal Guide, a destination wedding can also work out to be of equal, or even better value, than a wedding in your home city, while also offering your treasured guests the opportunity to indulge in a little holiday at the same time. With Moonah Links offering special rates on Mornington Peninsula accommodation for wedding attendees, it's the perfect opportunity to spend some time in a wonderful location with friends and family who you haven't caught up with in a while. After all, they'd have to travel to attend anyway, so why not travel to an exciting destination together!
The most important reason why couples choose a destination wedding though, according to MyWedding, is the freedom to be in charge of their special day. They can choose exactly where to have their reception and ceremony, what to be served and what they want the event to look like. This isn't something that you get in a church back home, and makes the day uniquely 'yours'.
The Mornington Peninsula has an array of like-minded suppliers, so searching for the perfect venue, the right dress, the table decorations and invitations need not be a chore. We are all here to help, which is what makes the Mornington Peninsula and its supplier so unique.
