We had our wedding on the Tarpeian lawn at the royal botanic gardens Sydney. Stunning venue and backdrop!
Sharna Southwell was our event coordinator and we could not fault her! She was extremely helpful, very professional and she went above and beyond what we expected! Hats off to Sharna!
We absolutely loved the location we chose, we had all the the beauty and natural light of the botanical gardens for the nice pictures but still got covered from the rain in the Herb garden pavilion. It was easy to make booking and venue administration was helpful and quick with getting back to us. We had a great day
We booked the Lion Gate Lodge as a function so we could have it for the whole day which made setup extremely easy for the stylists. Lion Gate Lodge also had an awning for Plan B which we thankfully didn't need.
We had our wedding on the lawn of the Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was a beautiful location and had provisions for wet weather also. The ranger escorts were very useful for our vendors to delivery their items.
We had a lot of questions and changing plans with arranging our wedding during covid, however dealing with the RBG events team was soo easy! Highly recommend RBG not just for the beautiful event spaces but also our positive experience with the events team.
There was a lot of paperwork involved in booking the place. We had the place hired until 8PM, but most of the guests left at 5PM because of the wind. It would have been good for them to know their areas and be able to change the location based on the weather.
The Gardens themselves are of course beautiful, Blakes Feast, being the only supplier to the gardens, were also excellent. Easy to deal with and professional. We didn't do a lot with them though, just a basic tables and chair set.
Beautiful venue - the team at Royal Botanic Gardens are very responsive and efficient, and are patient with questions! Highly recommend the Bennelong Lawn.
Palm House & lawn is truly a stunning wedding venue - great location for an intimate wedding. Venue itself is under a closed roof, so need to worry about the weather on the day. Once the ceremony is over, the fee includes access around the park for great photo opportunities!
Fantastic venue hiring the Herb Garden and pavilion for the day. Shelter was great for the sun and setting turned out perfect for our day
