Timeless romance
Fashioned on a romantic 17th century-styled European garden, this wedding location features a manicured lawn enclosed by hedges, trellises and arbours – ideal for ceremonies, receptions and photographs.
Set at the top of the Garden, near the Visitor Centre, the Formal Garden has access to electricity as well as being wheelchair accessible.
To make the most of the Formal Garden on your wedding day, our Venue Coordinator suggests:
- Why not combine your wedding ceremony and reception by booking a marquee? Extra fees will apply, but it is a great way to have your entire wedding at one location.
- The Formal Garden is beautiful all year, but spring is when it really comes alive with all the colour of the flowering plants.



Old world charm
Drawing influence from the grand gardens of Europe, the three terraces of the Formal Garden are an ever-changing display of the art of formal gardening and horticulture, tailored to an Australian context.

Imagine your dream wedding in an enchanting 17th-century styled garden awash with delicate wisteria, vibrant dahlias and elegant roses.
