Say “I do” surrounded by extraordinary Australian landscapes, where every backdrop tells a story and every celebration helps create a more sustainable future.
From the vibrant colours of the Connections Garden to the peaceful beauty of Marquee Lawn, each ceremony setting at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan offers its own unique atmosphere - perfect for everything from intimate elopements to grand garden celebrations.
At Botanic Gardens of Sydney, we believe in putting “Plants at the heart of a thriving world.” When you choose to celebrate your wedding with us, you're doing more than selecting a beautiful venue. Revenue generated through weddings and events directly supports the conservation, horticulture, education and scientific research programs that protect and preserve Australia's unique plant life for future generations.
Your wedding becomes part of a larger purpose, helping to fund the important work happening across our gardens — from conservation and seed banking to groundbreaking botanical research. It's an opportunity to begin your next chapter together while contributing to a lasting environmental legacy.
Our ceremony spaces are intentionally designed as DIY venues, giving couples the freedom to create a wedding that feels authentically their own. Rather than a one-size-fits-all package, you'll have the flexibility to choose your preferred styling, celebrant, florist, musicians, photographer and suppliers, creating a celebration that reflects your personality, culture and vision. Whether you're dreaming of a relaxed garden gathering, a sophisticated outdoor ceremony or something uniquely personal, the gardens provide an extraordinary natural canvas.
Imagine arriving with your guests to sweeping landscapes, exchanging vows beneath towering trees, amongst vibrant blooms or beside tranquil water features. After the ceremony, guests can explore world-class botanical collections while you capture unforgettable wedding photographs throughout more than 1,000 acres of stunning Australian scenery. The experience feels immersive, relaxed and connected to nature, offering the romance of a destination wedding just 45 minutes from Sydney's CBD.
And when it comes time to celebrate, the experience doesn't have to end after the ceremony. Couples can continue their wedding journey with a reception at the Bowden Centre, a versatile event space located within the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan. Surrounded by the beauty of the gardens, the Bowden Centre provides the perfect setting for dining, dancing and celebrating with family and friends, allowing you to host both your ceremony and reception within one destination.
Should the weather change, your day remains just as memorable. Our exceptional wet-weather venues offer both practicality and beauty. The award-winning PlantBank showcases contemporary architecture framed by native gardens, while the historic Herbarium Forecourt provides timeless elegance and botanical heritage.
With more than 1,000 acres of natural wonder to explore, couples are invited to discover the space that feels right for them and celebrate in a setting unlike any other.
Our ceremony locations include:
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, our DIY ceremony spaces offer the flexibility to make every detail your own. Here, surrounded by nature's beauty and supported by a purpose-driven organisation, your wedding becomes more than a moment — it becomes part of a mission. Every celebration helps support vital conservation and research efforts, ensuring that plants remain at the heart of a thriving world for generations to come.
