Williamstown Botanic Gardens is a heritage-listed public garden in Williamstown, opened in 1860 and managed by Hobsons Bay City Council, which takes bookings for wedding ceremonies and photography. Its seaside location, palm avenue, rare trees and Edwardian ornamental pond provide the backdrop, though the gardens are alcohol free and no tents or other structures may be put up.
