Yes. A home or public park can be a suitable place for an Australian civil wedding. You do not need a dedicated wedding venue, but you do need permission to use the space.

For a park, beach or garden, check the rules with the council or land manager. A permit, booking, insurance condition or limit on guests, decorations and amplified sound may apply. At a private home, consider access, neighbours, toilets and somewhere sheltered if the weather changes.

Walk through the plan with your celebrant. Leave a clear, comfortable space for the couple, celebrant and witnesses, and check that everyone can follow the ceremony.
