THE TARPEIAN LAWN

CEREMONY INFORMATION

The ceremony will be held at the Tarpeian Lawn, located in the Royal Botanic Gardens overlooking the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay.

The ceremony will commence at 3:00PM.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Tarpeian Lawn is an outdoor location. There is some shade provided by some large trees, however we recommend being prepared with protection from the sun if this is a concern for you.

In case of rain on the day, the ceremony will be postponed and held after 6:00PM during the party at the Grounds of Alexandria. We will contact you on the day if this is the case.

LOCATION

The Tarpeian Lawn can be accessed from Macquarie Street. This is a short walk from Circular Quay for anyone catching public transport. For those catching taxis, you can be dropped off across from the entrance on Macquarie Street.

Paid underground parking is available at the Opera House.

WEDDING PARTY VENUE

The party to celebrate our wedding will be held following the wedding ceremony at The Grounds of Alexandria in the Atrium.

The party will start at 6:00PM and the venue will remain open until 12:00PM.

As the ceremony is only expected to last until 4:00PM, there will be a couple hours to spare for relaxation and to slowly make your way over. Please see our suggestions for what you can do during this time below.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There is parking available at the Grounds of Alexandria, either by entering on Huntley Street or Bourke Road. If you wish to travel by Taxi, the fare from the Tarpeian Lawn should cost between $30-$40.

Taxis will be available to return you to your accommodation at your request.

WHAT TO DO?

You’ll have a bit of time up your sleeve. Allow about 30 minutes to get from the Tarpeian Lawn to The Grounds of Alexandria.

Here are our suggestions.

If you want to stay near the harbour (who wouldn’t?):

If you want to spend time at The Grounds of Alexandria (start the party early!):

  • Grab a drink at the Potting Shed. It’s right behind the Atrium.
  • Visit Kevin Bacon, Bradley, Margoat Robbie, Goldy Horn and their friends in the animal farm (for the young and young at heart!)
  • Lounge around the garden. Sydney’s urban sanctuary.
  • Spot us when we do the next round of wedding photos.

INSTAGRAM

Share your photos with us #yienandmarc

Don’t deny it, you’re in insta fiend. We’re having an Instagram printer at the party so the entire venue is your private photobooth (props and all!). Yes, we do multi-task like mad, but we can’t be everywhere at once. Share your photos so we can see your night AND ours!

GIFTS

WHAT’S THE DEAL?

We’ll spare you the gag-inducing wishing well poems (we love you too much). Your presence is the best present. It’s an absolute privilege for us to be with you on our wedding day. We would greatly appreciate a hong bao/red envelope instead of a gift.

There is no gift registry.
