Small wedding ideas

Hi my partner and I are looking to get married in the Canberra area. We are having a small wedding of approx 40 guest (half family half friends) I know I don’t want to do the package deal with a formal ceremony, reception with MC and everything. So instead thinking of doing a day wedding with an intimate ceremony then a sit down lunch (family and kid friendly) Then those who want to can meet up at a bar in the city for casual drinks and dancing later that night.

For venues for the wedding I was thinking the grazing at Gundaroo (haven’t checked it out yet) or somewhere similar with that vibe.

And for the after party open for ideas wouldn’t be booking a place out as might only be half the guest that go.

So firstly would this be a good idea for a wedding day? And any suggestions for venues.

Thank you!
