About Australia and New Zealand, the summer wedding season
In Australia and New Zealand the wedding season runs from spring to the end of summer, from October to April, with March one of the most popular months because the heat has eased and the school holidays are over. Vineyards, beaches and gardens are the usual venues. In the tropical north the dry season of May to October is chosen instead, to avoid the wet. Saturdays are the favourite day, and weddings on a weekday are cheaper.
