Where are the best Sydney Wedding Locations? |
City Locations
The Sydney Central Business District is full of attractive parks and reserves that are really popular for wedding ceremonies and photos. The most dazzling places for wedding scenes in the city have to be around the harbour shore line.If you want to get married in a park/garden close to Sydney's famous landmarks (the Harbour bridge and opera house) I'd check out the Royal Botanical Gardens tucked in behind the Opera House with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the Background.
Hickson Road Reserve at The Rocks and Observatory Hill at Dawes Point have similar stunning views of Sydney Harbour, but from different angles.For more info, contact details and photos visit Easy Weddings Garden Ceremony Locations, Sydney

Sydney Harbour Hotspots
Around Sydney Harbour there are a myriad of parks with views across the city.
These are my recommendations for locations worth checking out:
On the South Side of Sydney Harbour
On the North Side of the Harbour
West of The Harbour Bridge
Locations Around Botany Bay and Port Hacking
(Southern Sydney)
Locations Around the Suburbs
There are countless beautiful locations in the suburbs from the coast to the Blue Mountains. My criteria for choosing these locations are that they have to be around beautiful garden setting and/or they feature a river, lake or pond.Parramatta Park
Pitt Street, Parramatta.
Contact: The Parramatta Park Trust
Features include The Rumsey Rose garden, a couple of little gazebos for wedding ceremonies and lots of great photo locations along the banks of the Parramatta river.
Parramatta Lake Reserve
Lackey Street, North Parramatta
Contact: Parramatta City Council
The Parramatta Lake is a huge body of water, but most of it is surrounded by bushland. It features a nice grassy area for weddings or wedding photos. There is plenty of wildlife here in the form of ducks and geese, with the odd lizard or goanna sunbaking on the grass. For small wedding ceremonies, there is a paved area on the shore of the lake.
E.G. Waterhouse Camelia Gardens
President Avenue, Caringbah.
Contact: Sutherland Shire Council
These are my favourite gardens in Sydney. There is such lush, soft grass and masses of tall green folliage, with a little stream that runs through the park. It's a great place to be if you need a huge dose of fresh oxygen! There is a choice of 3 wedding ceremony areas here.
Nurragingy Reserve
Knox Road, Doonside.
Contact: Blacktown City Council or phone (02) 9839-6000 (during business hours)
There are lots of little clusters of gardens set out in a huge parkland reserve and picnic area. The wedding ceremony locations here are the Bungaribee Pavillion (next to the waterfall) or the Jim Lynch Wedding Garden (nestled amongst the trees). There are nice photo shoot locations around the waterfall or the big pond full of ducks.
Central Gardens, Merrylands
Cnr. Merrylands Road and Cumberland Highway, Merrylands West.
Contact:(02) 9637 9925
A sweet little park in the suburbs. It has a creek flowing around it flowing into a waterfall. There are comfortable grassy areas amongst the gum trees suitable for ceremonies. This park also has a collection of wallabies and emus.
The Penrith Weir Reserve
Bruce Neale Drive, Penrith
Contact:Penrith City Council
Situated above the Nepean River in the centre of Penrith. There is a gazebo popular for wedding ceremonies, but it's great to amble along the shore of the river and watch the rowboats gliding past on a sunny weekend.
Lake Gillawarna
Henry Lawson Drive, Lansvale.
This is part of the Mirambeena Regional Park in the south-west of Sydney. There is a whole system of lakes and rivers that I have never personally explored, but I'm sure that many of them would be a great spot for weddings and wedding photos.
I have been to Lake Gillawarna, which is just off Henry Lawson Drive, for weddings and wedding photo shoots. The lake is surrounded by natural bushland and has a family of black swans living nearby.
Clark's Point Reserve
Clark Road, Woolwich
This is a popular place for family picnics, as well as wedding ceremonies and photos.
It is situated on the Parramatta River just upstream from where the river flows into Port Jackson (which is better known as Sydney Harbour). Therefore you get a stunning view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.
It has a great atmosphere on weekends because there are millions of sailboats, motorboats and ferries floating past. In the reserve you'll see lots of people walking dogs, flying kites, and generally relaxing and having fun.
