WEDDINGS
VIEW WEDDING PHOTO GALLERY BELOW
Thank you for considering Gwavas Garden as a venue for your wedding. We would love to share our beautiful garden with you on your special day. If you are looking for a mass of colour the garden is at its peak flowering from late September through to the end of November. The garden continues to provide a glorious setting right through to autumn. There is always something flowering or a waft of perfume in the air and you and your guests are free to wander throughout.
There are a huge variety of locations for wedding photos within the garden.
Below are some guidelines which set out a base from which we can work together to make sure that your wedding arrangements and most importantly your wedding day run smoothly. We are flexible in most areas and are happy to discuss options with you.
Venue Hire: $3000.00
Gwavas Garden is exclusively yours for your wedding day. The venue is also available to you for four days around your wedding date, for the purpose of setting up, rehearsal, and packing up after the wedding day. A set up and clean up fee is included in the venue hire charge.
All costs associated with any marquee hire are the responsibility of the Hirer.
A deposit of $1500.00 is required upon booking and the remainder of the venue fee is to be paid no later than 30 days before your wedding.
