For life's sweetest moments
Whether you're planning a proposal, an elopement, an intimate wedding or a quiet anniversary, Back Paddock Botanical offers a unique backdrop to celebrate the moment.
Our west-facing lavender fields glow at sunset. Our timber pergola, draped with fairy lights, makes a beautiful backdrop for vows or a champagne clink.
It's a choose-your-own-adventure kind of venue: we simply provide the place, and you create the moment.
