Inner-West Park (Sydney)

No secret to the locals, Petersham Park has a lot going for it. When it comes to simple courthouse wedding alternative, the idyllic leafy park is the perfect place to say I Do. Afterwards you can celebrate at one of the Inner West’s famous pubs/ bars or award-winning restaurants.

Location Highlights: The natural ‘aisle’ created by gorgeous old trees is a great place for photos after your ceremony. With its lush greenery, blooming gardens, and graceful trees, the park provides a serene and natural backdrop for exchanging vows. The spacious and well-maintained lawns offer ample room for guests to gather, ensuring a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. On a quiet day, if the weather is less than ideal the rotunda is a brilliant place for you to make your love official.

Local features: Very close to rail and buses, and still with free street parking, convenience is a plus here. You can then head easily to a nearby venue – you are certain to find the perfect venue for your celebrations in this vibrant culinary district of Sydney.

Important things to note: We recommend allowing extra time for parking or using public transport at this location – so factor this into the timing you choose.

Exact ceremony location: At Just Married Weddings, we use set locations, but not always a fixed spot within those locations. This is because our experienced celebrants (and affiliated photographers) choose the best ceremony spot on the day, based on weather, lighting, time of day, and what else is happening nearby.

You’ll always receive clear meeting point instructions before your ceremony, and your celebrant will guide you from there. If you have a specific spot within the park in mind, simply let your celebrant know in advance — they’ll do their best to accommodate it and ensure the best possible experience on the day.

Other locations to consider: We have a huge range of Sydney locations to choose from. All our locations are chosen to be great alternatives to a courthouse wedding / registry wedding. And perfect for an elopement style ceremony. The part is choosing which you love most.\n\nAll photos on this page feature real Just Married Weddings couples, shot at this location by Kaptivations Photography.
