Start times and dress codes
Melbourne's events are polished but rarely stiff. A wedding usually pairs an afternoon ceremony with a long dinner reception — in a city ballroom, a converted warehouse or a winery in the Yarra Valley — and a company dinner starts around half past six. The city dresses in dark colours and does it well, so a black-tie or cocktail invitation is taken seriously. The weather can turn within an afternoon, which matters for any ceremony held outdoors.
Getting to the venue
The tram network is one of the largest in the world and reaches most city venues; inside the Free Tram Zone in the centre the ride costs nothing. Most venues in the centre are a short walk from a tram stop, which makes arriving on time easy. A winery in the Yarra Valley is about an hour's drive out, so a wedding there means a booked car or the guest shuttle many couples arrange.
When the Melbourne calendar fills
Spring is the big season: October and November bring weddings, garden parties and the racing carnival, with the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November a public holiday and a formal occasion in its own right. Autumn, March to May, is the other popular stretch for weddings. December fills with work parties, and January belongs to the Australian Open.
Taking a date to an occasion in Melbourne
What is a Melbourne Cup function like?
Formal and festive. Many workplaces and groups hold lunches or marquee events on the day, and the dress code is race-day formal, often with hats or fascinators. Tell us the event and the dress code, and your date will match it.
Where should we meet before the event?
A café in Fitzroy, Carlton or the city laneways, close to your tram stop and an hour before the start. That leaves time to agree how you will introduce each other and who she should know by name.
What if the wedding is at a winery?
Allow for the drive and the weather. The wineries are around an hour out, ceremonies are often outdoors, and evenings in the hills turn cool quickly, so the plan covers the journey both ways and a layer for later.
