Central Coast: Wedding Venues | Photographers | Celebrants | DJ's
The best places to get married on the Central Coast are beautiful beachside venues, local event spaces situated around Tuggerah Lake and Airbnbs located in the rural & hinterland regions surrounding Gosford. They are the best wedding venues on the Central Coast because they all come with a scenic ceremony site and a chic reception space conveniently packaged together in one handy location.
The Central Coast's most popular wedding venues are the large hotels and oceanfront resorts situated on the coastline between Terrigal and Caves Beach. Other sought after wedding locations are hidden in the semi rural hamlets around Ourimbah & Somersby and include private gardens, farm stays and heritage barns & chapels.
If you're looking for a unique wedding destination where very few couples have been married before, there are some amazing private properties to hire for weddings that are popping up on the Central Coast. The newest places are in the Watagans State Forest and other bushland areas nearby, and all offer wedding venue hire for 3 days with onsite accommodation for guests. Some even have poolside event spaces for your post wedding recovery party!
Here's a list of our favourite Central Coast wedding venues in 2025. They are all easily accessed via the M1 from Sydney and offer a stunning setting for seaside weddings and country weddings alike.
