When deciding the venue of your wedding in Canberra it can be easy to overlook its surrounding regions. These venues are particularly appealing as they function as an escape from everyday life to celebrate your special day while only being a 30minute drive within the Australian Capital Territory. Over the past 10 years as a wedding DJ I have regularly attended these venues, with the following being what I believe are the top 3 in the region:
Redbrow Garden
Redbrow Garden is nestled between the northern outskirts of Australia’s National Capital, Canberra and the Murumbateman cool climate wine region, all surrounded by an inspiring lakeside garden and wildlife refuge.
The lakeside garden has been the venue for an increased number of functions and wedding ceremonies and has provided a spectacular display for each of those special occasions. Summer heralds a leafy green oasis, the lake offering a cooling effect, Autumn arrives with meant stunning colours from the Manchurian Pears, Liquid Ambers, Canadian Maples etc Spring rewards with a profusion of daffodils, a magnificent Banksia rose and irises.
Other details include:
En suite accommodation before, during and after the wedding.
Spectacular opportunities for photos in the garden, by the lake or anywhere on the property.
Ample Parking, Seating and Tables for up to 120 guests.
Two public restrooms including one with disabled access.
Access to a dedicated wedding vehicle HSV Grange #208
Large list of inclusions.
