The beautiful centrally located New Farm Park has several areas that make the perfect backdrop for small and intimate elopement weddings.
Here we share some of our favourite spots that you may like to consider for your New Farm Park elopement. As some of the following areas are not designated booking sites, they are only suited to small intimate wedding ceremonies, and you may need to be flexible if your preferred spot is unavailable on the day.
Rose Gardens
The New Farm Park rose gardens offer ample locations for your ceremony to take place. While the roses are cut back through winter, they are in full bloom by Spring, creating a stunning backdrop with rose bushes in a variety of vibrant colours.
Being dog friendly, New Farm is a great spot if you would like your dog to be there.

Tree by rotunda Elopements
Weddings and elopements can take place beneath one of the beautiful grand old trees at New Farm Park, like this one beside the rotunda. If opting for this area (particularly for weekend elopement weddings), we recommend booking the rotunda site through Brisbane City Council to help ensure exclusive use of this spot, and as a great wet weather option.
