Boxwood Mount Nelson is a unique site close to Hobart that offers both accommodation and wedding venue. See our description for accommodations:

We offer a variety of ceremony locations:

The Ceremony Lawn: the main location for wedding ceremonies

Garden: on each side of the ceremony lawn, we have crafted a refined garden for smaller occasions or for cocktails and canapes

Glass Atrium: the atrium provides an indoor option for inclement weather (also great for small-medium dinner parties)

Of course.  A one-hour rehearsal is available during the week leading up to your wedding day. Please make an appointment time with your Event Coordinator

Boxwood Villa01 is the perfect place for you to get ready with your bridal party. Check out the lounge 1 & 2 images in the Villa gallery on our website. 

We currently do not provide events furniture as every event is unique and require differnt styles, these must be hired in from suppliers. 

Please consult our Events Coordinator – we allow reasonable decorations so long as they don’t damage Boxwood. 

The Atrium and Galleria will have fasteners to hang floral arrangements and lighting.  Décor may not be affixed to the walls, ceilings, banisters, doors, or stairways (please use fasteners). Nails, hooks, tacks, screws, and bolts may not be used on any surface. Glitter, sprinkles, confetti, rice, birdseed, wheat or similar materials are not allowed (flower petals are allowed!).  Please note the Costs of Repair clauses in terms and conditions.

In relation to open flames/flammables, we are set in 30 acres of natural bushland and surrounded by another 120 acres, so we are conscious of bushfire risk for our venue and our neighbours. No open flame is permitted on site other than in specified areas made by Boxwood staff.  Flameless real wax candles are always a great idea! Contact your Events Coordinator if you’d like us to arrange these for you.

We understand that every wedding is custom and we work with you to create personalised layouts for your wedding day.  Some furniture (for example, umbrellas, lounge suites, dining areas) should not be moved and your Events Coordinator will be able to discuss this with you. All decorations and furniture arrangements must be approved and coordinated in advance with the events staff
