FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Can I have an earlier/later reception?

An earlier reception start time is subject to availability. For a daytime reception, it may be possible to extend your reception, subject to availability. For an evening reception, all weddings must conclude by 11:30pm with a midnight guest departure, due to licensing regulations. Please speak with our Wedding Team for extension hire fees and availability.

What can guests do in between ceremony and reception timing?

You may wish to book our On The Lawn packages which we bring directly to your ceremony site within the Park. Otherwise, you might wish to suggest to your guests that they retreat to a venue located just outside the Park, for example in the Sydney CBD or Rocks area

When can I deliver my items for my wedding?

You can deliver minor items on the day prior to your wedding date at a time pre-scheduled with your wedding coordinator. Note that we do not have a large amount of storage space in the venue, therefore we are unable to store larger items overnight.

Can I provide additional candles?

Yes, candles must be placed in holders (to catch any wax). You will need to arrange your stylist/florist or family member to set this up for you.

Is there somewhere the Bridal Party can freshen up?

We do have a bridal room called the 'Green Room' for you and your bridal party to enjoy, as well as store any personal items.

Do I need my own Stylist or Wedding Planner?

This will really depend on your vision for the day, especially if you have many incoming suppliers requiring supervision and direction. Our Wedding Team is responsible for the delivery of food and beverage service and the initial set-up of the space as per your customised floor plan. A stylist/planner will typically oversee and manage your table decorations and venue styling. 

How do I pay for my wedding?

Final payment for your wedding is due 1 week prior to your wedding date. You may pay via EFT or credit card (1.5% surcharge applies to all cards). Please speak with our Wedding Team regarding international money transfers (SWIFT/BIC codes etc.)

When are final guest numbers due?

Your final guest numbers will need to be submitted to our Wedding Team 2 weeks prior to your wedding. After this time, we will be unable to make any further changes to your run sheet and menu selections.

Where is your loading zone for deliveries?

Please speak with our Wedding Team for specific Delivery instructions for The Terrace. Please note that items are only to be delivered during your designated bump-in time and must be made through the ‘service access road’. There are vehicle restrictions in place to protect the Gardens, and as such, all suppliers must adhere to these regulations — fines apply.

Can I install additional lighting or a dance floor?

Yes, please ensure your suppliers are familiar with the venue and are aware of their bump-in access time and have Public Liability Insurance.
