With an abundance of natural light and sweeping views across iconic Canberra places, the venues at the National Arboretum Canberra are world class.
We may be biased, but we are lucky enough to have the best views in Canberra. With panoramic views of Canberra’s sweeping scenery your guests will be blown away by the sights of blossoming trees in spring, the colours of red and orange leaves in autumn, snow-capped mountains in winter, all the vibrant greens of summer – whatever the time of year, you’ll find the National Arboretum to be a breath of fresh air.
The National Arboretum was proud to win Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice award in 2023 as well as several nationally recognised awards and nominations. The Ginger Group was also recently awarded 2023 Wedding Caterer of the Year in the Host Plus Restaurant and Catering Awards for Excellence 2023 and awarded Wedding Venue – Unique in the Wedding Industry Awards™

Such a lovely idea to include your pooch to be a part of your special day! Some venues do not allow pets inside there venues but do so in the outdoor areas, such is the case with us in the Arboretum. I would suggest to check first with your desired location if having pets is allowed and if so, in which areas and ensure that this area accomodates to what your dream wedding will be. Make sure that your puppy is comfortable with large crowds and noises, lastly bring toys treats and perhaps a special meal!
