We welcome bridal parties to take photos in the Garden at any time during opening hours.

There are some restrictions around the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music (Gleniffer Brae Manor House) so please contact us if you would like to use this area.

No photography permits are needed, and there is no cost involved. However , we do ask that you follow the below rules for filming and photography.

  • Make sure your filming and photography doesn't disrupt any other Garden visitors, including wedding ceremonies or other events being held in the Garden.
  • No vehicles may enter the Garden. The wedding party can be dropped off at the main entrance, but your driver will need to park within our car park, or on-street.
  • No throwing of confetti, rice, petals, etc.
  • No alcohol on site.
  • Do not disturb or climb on or into any trees, shrubs or garden beds in the Botanic Garden.
  • Decorations or other items cannot be attached to trees, plants or other structures in the Botanic Garden.
  • Any props need to be removed after the photo shoot.
  • Do not use flash photography near any of our wildlife as you may distress them.

See the Rules section on our FAQs page for other conditions that apply to all visitors.
