About The Patio at The Grounds

The Patio is a hidden oasis within The Garden at The Grounds of Alexandria, and one of the most charming small wedding venues in Sydney. It is an airy alfresco setting framed by the signature crumbling brick walls, creeping vines and trailing florals.

Checkerboard stone flooring sits among lush greenery under romantic festoon lighting, and the space is undercover with built-in heating and fans. Seating is flexible for up to 40 guests, which makes it ideal for an intimate daytime celebration, whether that is a long lunch after the ceremony or a relaxed micro wedding.

It sits within The Garden, among the lush planting and brickwork that make The Grounds of Alexandria so well known, yet it feels private and tucked away. The flexible seating can be set as one long table for a family-style lunch or as smaller tables for a more relaxed gathering, and it is well connected by public transport, rideshare and parking.

Menus come from The Grounds' own kitchen, built on fresh, locally sourced produce, from shared plates and grazing stations to plated courses and dessert canapés. The in-house styling team can add florals, table settings and personal touches, and a dedicated coordinator helps plan the day, so even a small celebration feels complete.

The Patio is available for daytime events from 8am to 3pm, and The Grounds events team looks after food, drinks and styling. It suits couples who want a small, sunlit garden celebration in the city, with the rest of the garden venues at The Grounds right on the doorstep.
