When is the best time of the year to get married in Tasmania?
If you’re wondering when the best time is to get married in Tasmania, the answer is simple: any time of year! Each Tassie season brings its own unique beauty, atmosphere, and wedding possibilities, meaning no matter when you plan to say "I do," you’ll find something truly magical here.
From long summer days and vibrant autumn tones to moody winter backdrops and blooming spring gardens, Tasmania is a year-round wedding destination unlike any other. Here’s how each season shines:
🌞 Summer Weddings in Tasmania (December – February)
Why choose summer?
Tasmania’s summer is warm but rarely scorching, making it ideal for outdoor ceremonies and dinner parties, coastal weddings, and garden receptions
Average temperatures: 22–26°C (pleasant and comfortable - but don’t be fooled, you’ll still need sunscreen on hand)
Long daylight hours: Thanks to daylight savings, the sun sets as late as 9pm: perfect for relaxed timelines and golden hour portraits
Best for: Beach weddings, vineyard venues, glamping celebrations, and outdoor dining experiences
Bonus: Peak flower season — florals like dahlias, roses, and hydrangeas are in abundance
Things to consider:
This is a popular season, so early booking is essential for venues and vendors.

Bonus: No humidity, no flies and Tasmania really is at the peak of it’s beauty in winter
Hot tip: Tasmania’s winter sunrises and sunsets are soft and golden, ideal for photos
