Why we separate elopements & micro weddings- Elopement: up to 10 guests
- Micro Wedding: 11 to 30 guests

Why this matters
Guest numbers change the feel and flow of a wedding.
For smaller elopements, everything is usually more relaxed, flexible, and intimate.
For micro weddings, there is more coordination involved for both the celebrant and photographer, including guest positioning, ceremony flow, group photos, timing, and sometimes a mobile speaker & mic setup so everyone can hear clearly.

Mt Lofty Botanic Garden offers THREE ceremony locations surrounded by nature, open lawns, and heritage spaces.
It’s a popular choice for couples wanting something simple, central, and naturally beautiful.
A | Dwarf Conifer Lawns & Rotunda
The Dwarf Conifer Lawns and nearby Rotunda are in the upper gardens, reached from Summit Road. The lawns slope, so discuss guest seating and access with the garden when choosing the exact ceremony spot. Parking and toilets are available near the upper entrance.
B | Arboretum
The Arboretum is a tree-filled area near the lake and lower entrance. Ask the garden to confirm the capacity and ceremony position for your group. The lower car park is on Lampert Road.
C | Central Rotunda
The Central Rotunda has garden and lake views. Check the permitted guest numbers, the route from parking and the most suitable entrance for guests who need easier access.

Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens FAQWhat happens if it rains?
We’ll guide you through backup options so you’re not left guessing.
Can we personalise the ceremony?
Absolutely — it’s your ceremony, we keep it relaxed & true to you.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can — popular dates do get snapped up quickly.
Can we add extra time or photos?
Yes — you can extend coverage or add extras if you’d like.
What’s the next step?
Just reach out — we’ll walk you through everything from there.
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.
