The Scene at Botanic House Weddings in Royal Botanic Garden Sydney

Botanic House is situated in the heart of Sydney’s historic and beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain. The 200-year-old Gardens, treasured by Sydneysiders and tourists alike, are a collection of pretty plants, trees, themed areas, and shrubs, spread out over roughly 30 hectares of land. Located right next to Circular Quay, this large, manicured area is often frequented by joggers, picnickers, and photographers, who marvel at the beautiful pink-peach sunrises and warm sunsets. 

Flanked by towering palm trees and a quaint pond, Botanic House is well and truly nestled in amongst the greenery, offering visitors a tranquil spot to enjoy stunning views. The venue’s surroundings are wonderfully scenic and idyllic, and Botanic House takes full advantage of this, with its open-plan design and large windows letting in plenty of natural light. The bright and modern space is decorated with contemporary furniture, high ceilings and a neutral colour palette, allowing the outdoor greenery to set the scene. 

Situated just ten minutes from Sydney’s CBD, and close to a number of landmarks and attractions, Botanic House is centrally located and easily accessible by wedding guests, with plenty of transport links in the area. But despite its proximity to Sydney’s centre, Botanic House has a secret garden-esque atmosphere, with its natural, serene landscape encouraging guests to unwind as soon as they enter the premises.
