If you’re planning an enchanting outdoor wedding, there’s perhaps no better destination than Tasmania. You wouldn’t even need to go elsewhere for your honeymoon as the island hosts plenty of romantic getaways.
To get married in Tasmania, you need to complete a notice of intended marriage form and provide it to a suitable marriage celebrant at least a month before the wedding date. If you’d like to get married without a month of waiting, you can approach a prescribed authority, such as the magistrate’s court, with a valid reason to expedite the marriage.
The state, of course, offers a variety of destinations for your nuptial ceremonies. You can have a city wedding in Hobart, a mountainside wedding in Cradle Mountain, or a beach wedding. However, if you’d rather have an intimate ceremony in a casual setting, scroll down for the top Airbnb wedding venues in Tasmania, Australia.

“I had my wedding at Steele’s Island. It was so beautiful. Truly immersed in the wildlife. saw some possums, pretty cool. All the bathrooms look really new. everything was so clean and had a cool little kids corner that entertained my kids all weekend. Plenty of space, my wedding didn’t feel cramped at all, even though we had to have the ceremony in the reception area because it was raining. Very worth the money for a wedding.” - by Google reviewer, sharnie stimm

Testimonial:
“Clayfield Homestead is the most beautiful location for a wedding. We had our wedding there in November, which was the most perfect time of year, as the gardens looked absolutely stunning. Angela went above and beyond to make sure the venue was looking absolutely perfect for us. She spends a lot of time to keep the gardens and the grounds immaculate. She was also so accommodating, and very easy to communicate with if we ever needed anything. The Homestead was the perfect space for me and my bridesmaids to get ready on our wedding morning, as the kitchen and living area is so big and open. There were also so many great spots for photo opportunities in front of the gorgeous homestead, as well as the beautiful scenery and gardens surrounding the property. We would highly recommend Clayfield Homestead!” - Emma
