Weddings in the Botanic Gardens

Imagine, a venue that caters for your entire Wedding Day!!

 

The Ceremony

There are six unique outdoor settings to commemorate your Wedding Ceremony, each with their own individual appeal and outlook within the Gardens.

Assistance is provided with, signage from the carpark to the site for your guests, transport to the site for the Bridal Party and any elderly guests, signing of the registry table clothed with linen and ten white folding chairs. We also have a Red Carpet, Wedding Arch and additional chairs available for hire and are happy to work with any extra touches you may like to add, so the site reflects what you would like for this very special part of your day.

In the event of inclement weather – Wendy Hudson, your Wedding Coordinator – will arrange, on the day, an alternative venue within the Botanic Gardens, to hold your Ceremony.

Visit Wedding Venues and you will find descriptions, complete with photos, of each site available for your Ceremony, along with a link to the Australian National Botanic Gardens so you can make the booking.
