Welcome to the beautiful, historical and adoring Holroyd Gardens. We look forward to greeting and celebrating with you, your family, your friends and your guests at your special, memorable and loving Wedding Ceremony Venue.

Holroyd Gardens was originally the historic site of Goodlet and Smith Brickpit. Some of the area has been redeveloped and the site of the clay pit that was filled is now Holroyd Gardens Park. The Holroyd Gardens Estate incorporates some of the remains of the brick pit including heritage brickwork kilns and associated buildings.

The area provides brides and grooms with exceptional opportunities for a picturesque photographic setting. We have had brides and grooms in the past use the area for pre-wedding photographs and have had entire bridal parties use the setting on their wedding day.

Why are we considered to be the garden wedding reception centre of choice for Western Sydney?

The Holroyd Gardens Park will provide a breathtaking and amazing entrance whether by horse and cart, sports car, hummer or limousine. We have a package that will allow your Bridal car only VIP entry from the gate through the beautiful driveway that leads straight to the rotunda where your groom, bridal party and guests will be waiting.

Choose to say ‘I do’ at Holroyd Gardens and we will guarantee that not even the weather will put a frown on your day.
In case of inclement weather your ‘Plan B’ may be the Holroyd Centre, which is only minutes away!

Onsite complimentary parking is available for all guests with a short stroll through the lovely park.

Please view our Packages for pricing and options or our Frequently Asked Questions for the most popular answers to the most popular wedding ceremony questions. Then Contact Us to make an appointment.

Let Holroyd Gardens be the start of your magical journey in marriage and let the Holroyd Centre charm you with our loving, friendly and professional wedding services for your wedding ceremony and your wedding reception.
