The search for a wedding venue is in part a search for a place that fits your personal style. Doing this has the added advantage of not required a lot of “redecorating” and freeing up your budget for other things of importance to you as as couple. Do you love the nature and the great outdoors? Do you imagine being surrounded by trees and greenery? If you answered “yes”, then Woodend may be at the top of your list.

Pro Tips
Woodend is a great place for any rustic, garden or bohemian aesthetic. Lush garlands really highlight the natural beauty of the space. All kinds of texture plays into the natural aesthetic perfectly. Overall, the tented terrace is a blank canvas, so adding color works equally well. Overall, keep it simple and a few well-placed pieces take it from a nature sanctuary to your dream wedding venue!
