From your first enquiry to the last guest departing, here's how we ensure every outdoor event on the Turf is seamless and extraordinary.
Submit your enquiry via our contact form or call us directly. We'll respond within 24 hours with availability, pricing, and a brief introduction from your events coordinator.
We invite you to walk the Turf in person — see the space, meet your coordinator, and start imagining how we'll bring your vision to life on the grounds.
Your coordinator works with you on every element — layout, décor, catering, entertainment, and logistics. We handle the planning so you can focus on the excitement.
Our crew arrives early to set up marquees, lighting, furnishings, florals, catering stations, and everything in between — leaving you with nothing to do but arrive and enjoy.
The day arrives. Your coordinator is on-site throughout, managing staff, timing, and any last-minute needs — so your event runs flawlessly from first guest to last dance.
After the event, we take care of full breakdown and cleanup. You leave with nothing but incredible memories — and usually, a request to book your next event too.

We had our wedding reception on the Outdoor Turf and it was beyond anything we imagined. The fairy lights, the green grass, the open sky at sunset — it was like a dream. Our guests are still talking about it.

Organised a team-building day for 80 staff on the Turf. The lawn games, the BBQ, the atmosphere — everyone left energised and genuinely bonded. The Urban Garden team made it completely effortless for us to plan.

Booked the picnic experience for my mum's birthday and it was perfect — the hampers, the décor, the lawn setup. She cried happy tears. I cannot recommend Urban Garden enough for an intimate outdoor celebration.
