Romance, gardens, heritage home, stunning food & service...

The Curator's House is a lovely venue for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. The romance of the gardens, the heritage home combined with stunning food and professional service make your day special.

For the ceremony, the bride walks up the 'garden path' or arrives by punt to our punt landing. The oval lawn beside the Avon River, our Summer House and our private rooms are all popular places for saying 'I do'. Scattered rose petals, ivy and church candles provide romantic touches.

Guests are able to enjoy cocktails and drinks in our garden as the wedding party takes picturesque photos around our Heritage building and the Botanic Gardens.

Select our Wedding Menu, add pre dinner cocktail food, or design your own menu with our owner, Javier Garcia. There is a wide variety of options and we are happy to tailor make your perfect day!

We a pleased to offer private use of each of the dining rooms.
