A booking is essential for all wedding ceremonies held at The Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan to ensure the location is reserved exclusively for your special day and to comply with the Garden's management guidelines. There is an associated fee for venue hire, which varies depending on the specific location, the number of guests, and the duration of the booking.
The authority responsible for making ceremony bookings is the Botanic Gardens of Sydney (Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan Events Team).
Ceremony hire is generally offered in a 3-hour time slot and fees are location-dependent. For example, a non-exclusive 3-hour hire for a location like the Lakeside Lawn may be around $510, while a larger, more exclusive spot like the Connections Garden may have a higher fee, such as $1,425 for a 3-hour hire, depending on the most current rate card.
It is highly recommended that you contact the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan Events Team directly for their current rate card, specific location pricing, and terms and conditions for your intended date and guest numbers.
Standard: 20 People. Add Guests: Add up to 100+ in total +$75.

I understand that, it is my responsibility to make the required booking with the park authority and pay any associated site fees directly to them.
Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time. The Garden is located at 362 Narellan Road, Mount Annan, NSW, 2567.
Now it doesn't happen often, but when it does you will need to shelter under trees or bring umbrellas - how romantic. However, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan does offer specific sheltered or indoor venues as dedicated wet-weather back-up options, which can be added to your booking for an additional fee.
It is strongly recommended to confirm the current wet weather options and associated fees with the Botanic Gardens of Sydney Events Team at the time of your booking.
