Get married in one of our beautiful themed gardens. Perhaps the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance Garden, the romantic English Flower Garden, or the slightly strange Surrealist Garden.
Hamilton Gardens is a beautifully unique venue and the themed gardens provide a stunning backdrop for your ceremony and wedding photographs you will treasure.
