Travel & Stay

The Royal Botanic Garden sits right on the harbour edge of the city. If you're coming by train, Circular Quay is the easiest stop, followed by a short walk through the grounds to the Rose Garden.
If you're driving, city parking can be limited, so we recommend booking a spot online ahead of time.
·The Domain car park (St Mary's Rd) is the classic choice for the gardens. It's open 24 hours, with a short walk through the Domain into the grounds.
·The Sydney Opera House car park (2A Macquarie St) is another 24-hour option, with a lovely walk along the water to the Rose Garden.
·St Martins Tower car park (190 Clarence St) is right beside Palazzo Salato, although it closes around midnight on Saturdays.
·Secure Parking (2 Market St — vehicle entry via Sussex St) stays open 24 hours and is only a few minutes' walk away if you're planning to kick on 'til late.
It's a 25-minute walk from the Rose Garden to Palazzo Salato. Walk it, Uber it, or make a small pub crawl of it. We'll share a couple of fun route recommendations closer to the day.
Where to Stay
If you choose to make a weekend of it in the city, staying anywhere in the central CBD will put you within easy reach of both venues. A few places we'd happily stay ourselves:

Kimpton Margot Sydney Book →

Everything Else

We'd love to have all the special little ones in our lives present at the ceremony. However, due to venue limits, we can only accommodate babes-in-arms at the reception.
There is no gift registry as we are incredibly fortunate to have everything we need and your presence is truly gift enough. If you did want to make a contribution to our next chapter together as a family, we will have a wishing well at our reception.
Your invitation will list everyone included in your party. If you're unsure at all, please reach out and we'll gladly confirm for you.
Keep your fingers crossed for us for a crisp, sunny Autumn day. However, should it rain we have a sheltered plan for the ceremony in the garden. We'll post any updates here the week before.
