Weather
When is a good time of the year to get married?
Summer is the settled window. February is the driest month, with rain on around five days and comfortable highs near 24°C, which is why most outdoor ceremonies sit between late spring and early autumn. Victorian school holidays and long weekends lift visitor numbers and accommodation prices across the Peninsula, so flexible dates can mean more choice for a weekend wedding.

Guest comfort
When is a more challenging time of year to get married?
Winter is wet and cool. July brings rain on roughly fourteen days with highs near 13°C, so a mid-year wedding leans indoors. Even in summer, an afternoon by the water can turn brisk and the weather can change quickly, so layers for guests and a wet-weather plan are sensible whatever the month.

How do guests get here?
Most guests drive down from Melbourne, around 90 minutes, so road and parking matter more than flights here. Think about parking at the venue, and a coach for the wedding party if guests are spread between towns. The handful of interstate guests usually fly into Melbourne and drive down or join a group transfer.
