A GARDEN CEREMONY

Surrounded by thick timber bamboo, sweeping palms, luscious elephant ears and bright tropicanas, the ceremony lawn feels like your own private oasis. There's electrical boxes for a band or DJ, a hidden back entrance for the wedding party to make their appearance and enough space to seat 400+ guests.
