What To Know Before Booking
Everything here is designed to keep things simple, smooth & stress-free — for you and for the Gardens.
A Naturally Beautiful Hills Setting
Mount Lofty Botanic Garden is one of the easiest ways to have a beautiful wedding in the Adelaide Hills.
Open, relaxed garden setting
Multiple ceremony locations across the Gardens
Cool-climate landscapes, seasonal colour & wide open space
👉 It already looks incredible, so you don’t need to overdo anything
Simple Timing
Your ceremony includes a 2 hour window
Covers setup, ceremony & photos
Extra time can be added if needed
👉 We guide you so everything flows without pressure
What’s Already Included (No Surprises)
When you book through KISS:
Site hire fees are included
Photography permits are included
Setup & pack down handled
👉 It’s all taken care of upfront — no hidden extras later
Keeping It Clean & Natural (Garden Guidelines)
To protect the space and keep everything looking beautiful:
No confetti, petals, rice or balloons
Nothing can be attached to trees or structures
Styling must be freestanding (no pegs or stakes in the ground)
👉 Simple setups work best here anyway
Food & Drinks
Food & drinks (including alcohol) are managed through the venue
This keeps everything compliant & easy on the day
👉 If you’d like to celebrate after, we can guide you through options
Music & Atmosphere
Relaxed, low-volume music works perfectly
Amplified or loud music requires prior approval
👉 The setting already does most of the work
Access & Setup
No vehicles inside the Gardens
Everything is brought in by hand or trolley
Our team & suppliers handle this for you
👉 Another reason we keep things simple
Weather (Easy Approach)
Outdoor setting means we stay flexible
Umbrellas or cover can be added if needed
👉 We adjust the plan, not the experience
Booking Made Easy
Dates can be held while you decide
Lock it in when you’re ready
👉 No pressure, just clarity
The KISS Way This Works Best
This space is perfect if:
You want something simple & real
You don’t want to over-plan everything
You want a beautiful Hills setting without the stress
👉 That’s exactly what this location is made for
If this feels like you, it’s here
You don’t need a big wedding to make this meaningful.
If you’re ready to keep it simple, we’ll guide you through it.

Access, seating & wet-weather checks
Before booking, ask the venue or site manager to confirm step-free access, walking distances, accessible toilets, seating and a workable wet-weather option for your exact ceremony spot.
Share any access needs with KISS when you enquire, so they can be included in the planning discussion. A garden, beach or property being open to visitors does not confirm that every ceremony area will suit every guest.
