When to go

City venues are mostly indoors, so the season matters less than elsewhere. Rooftops and terraces are best from November to April, and Melbourne weather can change quickly, so ask what happens if it turns.

Worth asking Fable Melbourne

  1. What does the hire fee include, and can we bring our own caterer and drinks?
  2. Where would the ceremony be held, and what is the wet weather plan?
  3. What happens if it is very windy or wet on the day?
  4. Which dates are still free in our preferred season, and are weekdays cheaper?
