In The Hanging Garden

Overview & Vibe

In The Hanging Garden is Hobart's open-air cathedral precinct — an 18-metre steel-and-glass Cathedral, a verdant garden oasis and a cluster of theatres and bars folded into one city block on Murray Street. Weddings here trade lawn and vineyard for greenery, neon and after-dark energy.

Setting & Style

Couples marry beneath the soaring Cathedral frame with its private bar and flexible floor, or throw a garden-party ceremony among the hanging plants of The Garden. The precinct scales wildly: the red-velvet Mezz Bar speakeasy from 20 guests, the Altar Bar's multi-storey cocktail floors, and the historic Odeon theatre to 1,100. The signature Shotgun Weddings package — from $5,000 — bundles a fully styled Cathedral ceremony, professional photography, bouquets and an hour of drinks for ten, expandable to fifty.

Ideal For

Couples wanting an urban, art-soaked Hobart wedding — from a ten-guest shotgun ceremony to a thousand-strong takeover.
