The Mornington Peninsula draws couples for its combination of coastal and winery wedding venues — a genuine destination-wedding feel within a couple of hours of Melbourne.
Because many guests stay overnight locally, Peninsula weddings often involve transfers planned across the full wedding weekend rather than a single day — between accommodation, the ceremony and the reception. This makes early transport planning particularly valuable.
The Peninsula's coastal and rural roads, along with Mornington Peninsula Freeway traffic on summer weekends, are worth building into your timing, especially for larger guest groups.
