May 2019

We held our Wedding reception/dinner at the Calyx in the Royal Botanic Gardens mid April and couldn’t be happier. Jactina (Sales Event Manager) & Katrina (Event Coordinator) were fantastic to work with and a large reason our day was so successful. The Calyx is an amazing venue. It was spacious enough for all our guests, the outside veranda was perfect for cocktails & canapés, the exhibition area made for a unique backdrop for our dinner & dancing, and the location in the gardens couldn’t be better! The event team on the evening were awesome as well - ensuing food was served timely and that guests always had a drink. Again this is a fantastic venue with amazing ‘wow’ factor and we would highly recommend anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue to check it out.

Can we have a morning wedding?

The Calyx

Garden ceremonies can be hosted at many different locations throughout The Royal Botanic Gardens and at various times of the day. When looking at your reception, The Calyx is open to the public as an exhibition space from 10am - 4pm each day, but there are options for lunch receptions, This wouldn't be exclusive use of the venue, but in a private room for you and your guests. Receptions with exclusive use of the venue commence at 6pm. Let me know if I can assist you any furhter!

Do venues charge more for weddings on Public Holidays?

HI All My partner and I are considering getting married on Monday 5/10/20, which is Labour Day in the ACT and NSW. We were wondering if the venue hire would be increased, or if vendors would increase their fees? I understand that many may just charge the weekend rate, which is fine, but I'm just checking. Thanks!

The Calyx

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for your enquiry. 

We do charge extra service fees/ surcharges for public holidays. 

All the best with the planning of your special day!

Kindly,
