The Gardens offer a unique, stunning setting for your special day and a spectacular backdrop for your photographs. From a small intimate service and reception to a large event - all can be arranged to the highest standard.

The Oak Pavilion, with its elevated position and 'aisle-like' access walkway is the perfect place for the ceremony. There are other unusual buildings within the Gardens, such as the Summer House, that are also fully licensed.

Smaller intimate receptions can be catered for in the Colonial Restaurant after 6.00p.m. (this may be flexible) until 9.30p.m. Larger receptions and/or evening parties can be arranged on the West Lawn - the ideal location for a marquee. Whatever the case, guests can have exclusive use of the 30 acre Gardens after 6.00p.m.
Please note that the Gardens are open to the public from 10.00a.m. until 6.00p.m. and during this time the designated wedding areas will be roped off.
