Weddings

Approval is always required from Coffs Harbour City Council. Contact the co-ordinator Julie Belford in the Recreational Services Section. Phone 6648 4542. Costs, bonds and deposits charges are available on request from Ms. Belford.
  
The actual location for the wedding should be arranged with the celebrant, with adequate recognition of the standard conditions (special note should be made of the condition that no vehicles are allowed in the Garden) that are applicable to all weddings approved by Council. You may request a particular area to hold your wedding, but note that this is on a "first come first approved" basis.

1. Alternative arrangements should be made in case of inclement weather, as the Display Room is not available for use.
2. Vehicles are not to be left parked across the driveway, or driven into the Garden for any reason.
3. The area must be left in a clean and tidy condition.
4. No alcohol, catering, confetti or flower petals are allowed in the Garden.
5. The patio furniture is for public use at all times and is not to be moved.
6. Any sound amplification equipment is to be adjusted so the volume does not cause annoyance to other users.
7. The Botanic Garden closes at 5pm and the area must be left in a clean and tidy condition by this time.  

Please remember that your ceremony may not be the only one scheduled for the day and you are requested to be on time and not to linger in the Garden too long after the ceremony.
