We would highly recommend The RBG and The Terrace for a great wedding venue. Sasha and the team were extremely helpful and easy to work with to plan our big day. The reception was set up perfectly, the food was delicious and overall we had a great night!

Excellent! I was pregnant at the time and they revised the menu for me. Great pricing and they were able to assist us and work with our budget. They also organised a gondola entrance for us and the photos were incredible. Everyone of us guest loved the food and each table had their own waiter.

John is an exceptional celebrant. He is a genuine and talented man who has a beautiful voice and way with words. We, and our guests, thoroughly enjoyed listening to John share our love story. From our first meeting, John's experience and professionalism put us at ease. We were unsure about a few aspects of our ceremony and John gave us options to help us decide. One of his suggestions was to include a rose giving ceremony to our mothers. This was a beautiful moment that they will cherish forever. We strongly recommend John! Zoe & Sergio

I always see people throwing rice at weddings, but when I've checked, most venues dont allow this?

so are you allowed or not?

The Terrace Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

Each venue will be slightly different dpending on their rules and regulations. If you're indoors rice could be a bit of a slipping hazzard. I would suggest bubbles for the guests. It creates a fun atmosphere, makes for amazing photos and is safe!
