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.

This couple opted for a relaxed, stress-free small and intimate wedding ceremony with Celebrant Jamie Eastgate delivering their short and simple ceremony, with their Photographer Picrama and Celebrant Cara as their two witnesses and it was perfect!
This small, intimate and relaxed New Farm Park elopement at the rose gardens also opted to simply have their Photographer and Celebrant Cara as their two witnesses.
As draping or décor is not permitted on the rose garden arbour structures, this couple arranged for a stunning four poster arbour by Brisbane Wedding Decorators for their sunset elopement. New Farm Park elopement images by Mary Miller Media.
Tree Elopement
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, we recommend booking the rotunda site through Brisbane City Council to ensure exclusive use of this spot, and as a great wet weather option.

Fig Tree
This sweet and intimate elopement at Brisbane’s New Farm Park took place beneath this huge old tree just steps from the Brisbane River and the Brisbane Powerhouse.
The happy couple enjoyed a stress free, fuss free private small wedding ceremony in the company of just their 2 photographers who were also their witnesses.
The happy couple looked so relaxed and so in love as they shared vows and exchanged rings. Captured by Slimtography. They were kind enough to give me a 5-STAR review with the following comments:
“My husband and I eloped! We just wanted a relaxed and chilled ceremony and that is exactly what we got.
It was a lovely way to marry my best friend. Thank you, Jamie, for making our day amazing and exactly what we wanted.
Not only are you very professional, but you are also a happy, fun and down-to-earth Celebrant. Thank you for marrying us and being part of our special day. I wish there was more stars on here as I would give you a higher rating”
This couple decided to secretly elope in a small, intimate and relaxed morning elopement beneath this gorgeous old Fig tree in Brisbane’s New Farm Park, then surprise their family and friends with the news they had just got married.
