Private Elopement Garden on Brisbane's Southside
Gazebo
The Fig Tree
The Hut
The gazebo offers a more traditional garden wedding setting surrounded by established shrubs, tall trees and colourful ground level foliage.
Both the front and back of the gazebo make a pretty setting, with the pathway behind taking you to a more secluded spot with a more tropical feel.
The Hut
The Fig Tree
The Hut
The hut is our most popular setting with the couple standing on the elevated deck with the A frame hut framing them. As the sunlight fades the fairy lights and chandelier come on to give the hut a golden glow. The sides of the hut are not enclosed and are surrounded by greenery, so while there is a roof overhead you still feel very much like you're in a garden.

The Fig Tree
Sometimes the perfect elopement spot is simply nature in all it's glory and we have a few beautiful trees that make for an ideal ceremony location, especially our fig tree. It looks lovely just by itself but can also be dressed up with drapes of fabric, paper lanterns or extra greenery at the base.
The Barn
The Potting shed
The Fig Tree
If it's a little bit of country charm you're after then our barn made from reclaimed/recycled materials and fronted with a frame of wisteria may be just the right backdrop. The wisteria flowers in lovely lavender coloured tendrils during Spring but even in Winter the twisted trunk and bare vine is quite sculptural. The green leaves in Summer offer a slight reprieve from the heat, you notice the temp drop by a few degrees as soon as you stand beneath it's canopy.
Arbours
The Potting shed
The Potting shed
I have a small selection of arbours, some can be moved around to any area of the garden while others such as the 'Portal' arbour made from twigs and branches (shown above) have their permanent spot in the garden.

If Mother Nature decides to rain on your parade then we have an undercover area ready to go with pots and plants that can be moved around and still give that garden feel. Located at the rear of the barn it carries on the rustic vibe, is backed by a raised garden with flowers that change depending on the season and a young jacaranda tree nearby that puts on a Spring time show.
