With an abundance of natural light and sweeping views across iconic Canberra places, the venues at the National Arboretum Canberra are world class.
The National Arboretum has selective romantic settings and many great locations for photography, with dynamic backdrops for these precious records of your special day.
The Margaret Whitlam Pavilion is a spectacular, architecturally-designed venue. You will be wowed by the vistas through floor-to-ceiling glass as you step out onto a private balcony.
Perfect for small wedding ceremonies, the Pavilion conveys intimacy while offering the comfort and efficiency of modern features. The stylish design with arching walls, subtle lighting, a steeple roof and grand polished wooden front doors sets the scene for the beauty of your ceremony.
Our unique chapel is non-denominational, providing for your choice of civil celebrant or minister of religion. This venue has a seating capacity of 80 or standing space for 120 guests.
The Village Centre
At the heart of the Arboretum is the Village Centre, featuring soaring high ceilings inspired by the fronds of the adjoining Chilean wine palm forest. The Village Centre is filled with natural light from windows and glass doors that provide uninterrupted panoramic views of Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra.
With an abundance of natural light and sweeping views across some of Canberra’s most recognisable viewing points, the venues at the National Arboretum Canberra are purely majestic.

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!
