Yes, you can have a wedding in an approved national park location and New South Wales has many beautiful rainforests, bush settings and forest wedding venues situated within or bordering national parks to choose from.

From a Royal National Park wedding just south of Sydney to rainforests, alpine areas and untouched wilderness, NSW offers an incredible choice of bushy parklands perfect for weddings in nature.
