Local insights from Orange’s wedding experts

We spoke to some of the talented businesses showcasing this year to get their insider tips on planning a wedding in Orange - and what to expect on the day:

With its scenic landscapes, top-tier food and wine, and a growing number of standout venues and services, the Orange Region is fast becoming a go-to wedding destination. From your perspective, what sets a wedding here apart from the rest of NSW?

“Wedshed manages wedding venues across Australia and we’re fortunate enough to manage several amazing venues in Orange. There’s a reason why Orange is becoming one of the most popular regional wedding destinations in NSW. It’s the stunning views and changing seasons, the broad range of options when it comes to vendors and suppliers, and just the authentic vibe you get from the people and places in the region.” - Amy from Wedshed

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to couples planning a wedding in the region?

“Take the time to meet the team you want to work with. They’re the ones who will make your day run effortlessly and you want to have every confidence in the team you surround yourself with.” – Rebecca, Lulu and Lotti Event Styling

“Consider the time of year you want to get married and what flowers and foods are in season. If you choose seasonal produce, it reduces the cost of procuring these elements of your day. You can talk to your florist and caterer about what they suggest depending on your preferences and vision.” – Coco, Hearty Blooms

Is there a beautiful wedding detail, surprising element or memorable moment you’ve seen recently that really stuck with you?

“We recently hosted a cocktail event the night before a wedding, and guests were surprised to discover the couple were to be officially married by their celebrant that evening, leaving the wedding day for a more relaxed and informal ceremony and reception without all the paperwork. It was a nice surprise for the close friends and family.” – Joe, The Union Bank

What’s something only a local would know about planning a wedding in the Orange Region?

“There are so many incredible locations for stunning photo opportunities right across the region. Local photographers know all the best spots, the best seasons and times of day to get those photos, and just how to capture the moment. Talk to your photographer about their favourite locations.” – Kirsten Cunningham Photography

Having so many talented vendors in one place makes the Orange Wedding Showcase a great starting point for couples planning their big day. What can they expect to gain from attending the showcase?

 “The Orange Wedding Showcase has a huge range of services and products all under one roof so it’s the perfect opportunity to discover what is possible, chat to exhibitors about your ideas and get tips from the professionals to help you plan your day. Just remember, you only do this once (or twice!) in your life. Our local wedding vendors do it every day so they’ve seen it all and are a fountain of knowledge. You never know, you might even find your dream celebrant, photographer, florist or dressmaker on the day!” – Holly, Orange Wedding Showcase
