We have four main venues in the gardens to suit your style as a couple and for the amount of guests. Dreaming of an intimate ceremony overlooking the sea? Our ceremony venue of Jacob's Ladder is ideal. Want a grand ceremony with space for all your friends and family to join? Why not get married up on our beautiful bandstand whilst your guests look on from our stunning lawn area.

Incredible from Start to Finish

The experience of planning our ceremony at Connaught Gardens was incredible from start to finish. Kate and Caitlin were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Everything was set out when they arrived including extra touches of the flowers wrapped round the banisters on the stairs. Kate and Caitlin were so smiley and lovely, we can’t thank them enough for making the day run so smoothly.

A Dream Come True

It was a dream come true getting married in Connaught Gardens and I honestly would not have changed on single thing, it was just so perfect and magical. It was just perfect and just makes me emotional thinking about it. I would love to do it all over again.
