Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Little Mulgrave is where southside couples can hold a garden reception, at Mulgrave Gardens in the Little Mulgrave Valley, a privately owned tropical garden on a 12-acre property, with a rainforest river along one side and cane farms around it.

Couples hire the space and bring in every supplier themselves, which suits a reception planned to their own style.

What a couple gets at Mulgrave Gardens:

  • Room for up to 120 wedding guests, seated for a long lunch or standing for drinks.
  • Carved timber gates, statues, water pots and tropical planting with a Balinese feel.
  • A 4 x 7 metre thatched Balinese Hut with a raised floor and a long timber table.
  • Lawns that take marquees, tables, chairs and portable dance floors.
  • Mains power and water for your caterer, plus modern amenities and wheelchair access.

Planning a do-it-yourself reception in Little Mulgrave

  • Book a site visit first; the venue then sends a written quote for your wedding.
  • Line up a caterer, stylist and hire company early, since none are supplied by the garden.
  • Alcohol must be served responsibly with a 10pm cut-off for the bar, so the run sheet should put the toasts and first dance earlier.
  • Live music is licensed but subwoofers are not, which matters when briefing a band or DJ.

Weather, transport and dates for a garden wedding

  • The garden is outdoors, so ask about wet-season options and plan a marquee for rain.
  • Off-street parking takes coaches, so a guest coach to and from the reception is easy to arrange.
  • Bookings run any day of the year except public holidays.
  • Full-day, half-day and hourly hire are offered, so ask which suits setup and pack-down.
