About The Garden at The Grounds

The Garden is the botanical heart of The Grounds of Alexandria, and one of the most loved garden wedding venues in Sydney. Adorned with thriving greenery, it is an immersive setting full of rustic charm that can be transformed to suit your vision.

Three distinct spaces and an outdoor bar run through it, from the inviting warmth of the gazebo to the fountain-side courtyard glamour of the arbour. It is outdoors but undercover, with heating and fans for year-round comfort, an onsite sound system, a private bar and private amenities, and there are lovely spots for an onsite ceremony and cocktail hour.

The Garden seats 110 to 180 guests for dinner, holds 150 to 380 for a cocktail reception and can be set theatre style for 75 to 150 for a ceremony. It is available Monday to Sunday for evening events, and is well connected by public transport, rideshare and parking, so getting guests to and from the city is easy.

Menus come from The Grounds' own kitchen, built on fresh, locally sourced produce, with roving canapés, shared plates, alternate plates, grazing stations and dessert canapés to choose from. The in-house styling team knows the space well and can add florals, draping and lighting to suit anything from a soft, romantic garden party to a bold, colourful celebration.

The Grounds events team runs each wedding with their own catering, beverages and in-house styling, a dedicated coordinator and an on-the-day supervisor. It suits couples who want a lush, green celebration without leaving the city, and stands out among unique wedding venues in Sydney.
