A bespoke wedding at the National Gallery means timeless sophistication and art-infused elegance.

Mark your special occasion in the nation’s capital on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. Spectacular gardens, iconic Brutalist architecture and the most valuable collection of art in Australia make for a truly unforgettable event. Exchange vows in the Sculpture Garden among incredible works of art from the national sculpture collection.

Curate your perfect reception in one of the Gallery’s memorable and diverse venues. Choose from the grand Gandel Hall with its floor to ceiling glass doors opening out onto the Skyspace Garden terrace, the elegant Dining Room with soaring ceilings and spectacular views of the Lakeside Sculpture Garden, or the intimate Sculpture Garden Pavilion nestled in the gardens.
