National Portrait Gallery

Your cocktail reception may begin in the stunning Gordon Darling Hall, featuring stone from every state and territory in Australia and westerly views into Reconciliation Place. Or it could be in the external Forecourt, an all-weather venue ideal for cocktails. The gallery team will then invite your guests into the Gordon Darling Hall or the Terrace Room overlooking Lake Burley Griffin where guests can enjoy a seated dinner followed by speeches, cake cutting and dancing. The gallery exclusive catering partner, The Fresh Collective delivers exceptional event experiences and signature menus for the National Portrait Gallery and can provide bespoke menus for any style of wedding from a seated lunch, cocktail reception with grazing tables, to a decadent dinner with dancing. Let us help you to create the perfect day that you and your guests will remember forever.
