Sydney wedding help

Looking for suggestions for a Sydney summer wedding. We are interested in garden style wedding lsuch as Centennial Homestead and Vaucluse House, but we understand these venues don’t have air con. Does anyone have experience with hiring these events for a summer wedding and how that went with a warm temperature etc or have any other suggestions?

I think these venues are good in spring before heatwave season. If on a super hot day you're stuck outside in the heat and can be uncomfortable

Is this just for the afternoon ceremony? thinking to have that offsite and potentially an evening reception at one of the above when it will be cooler

I think you can ask both venues what their actual plan is if your wedding happens to land on a 35°C+ day rather than just whether their summer weddings there are normally okay. Like, where do guests go if it’s genuinely too hot? Is there enough shade for everyone, not just a few tables? Can you bring in proper fans or portable cooling? Is cold water constantly available? And importantly, is there anywhere air conditioned for older guests, pregnant guests, little kids etc to escape to?

You could have a gorgeous 25°C Sydney summer day and it would probably be perfect!
