Where are the Ceremony and Reception Venues Located?

Both Taxodium Lawn & The Terrace are located within the Royal Botanic Gardens. Whilst you can enter via any gate, we recommend Gate A (Bridge Gate) as your easiest point of access.

Is there Parking Available?

There is parking surrounding the Royal Botanic Gardens, with varying parking conditions and limitations. The bulk of parking surrounding the gardens has recently been changed to be limited to 4 Hours. You can access this parking via the Easy Park App. We recommend utilising Public Transport or Taxis/Uber to avoid having to worry about moving your car during the event.

Please Explain Your Dress Code!

Sorry, had to make sure the words looked pretty on your invite!! "Formal Garden Soiree" Please see the below Pinterest board for inspiration! https://pin.it/1BqDiDPSG

Are there local accommodations?

There are lots of accommodation options within Melbourne CBD! We have listed some for you to explore, Airbnb is another great option. Please be mindful that the Australian Open has been extended this year and the finals will be on over the weekend of our Wedding so we recommend booking ASAP!

What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

Please let us know via your RSVP & we will do our absolute best to accommodate!

Will Dinner be Served?

Of course, we will be serving a full meal for you to enjoy!

Are we going to be outdoors?

Yes! The ceremony will be outdoors and on grass. We have plans for all weather situations, however we highly recommend sunglasses, SPF and footwear conducive to these conditions.

What Time should I Arrive?

Drinks will be served at Taxodium Lawn from 3:30pm

Are Children Welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event with the exception of our flower children, to ensure everyone can relax and enjoy the festivities.

Can I bring a plus one?

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list and our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.

What about Gifts?

Your love and laughter on our day are the greatest gifts we could ask for. However, should you wish to spoil us further, a wishing well will be available at our reception for contributions towards our honeymoon.
