Weddings in The BirdcageThe Birdcage is a private function room located at Parklands Tavern, 238 Parklands Boulevard, Meridan Plains.The casual style and outdoor nature of The Birdcage is inspired by the surrounding environment of our gardens.Design elements like old garden equipment, vintage tools, hand hewn machinery, old tin buckets and vintagecopper tubs provide an eclectic mix of backdrops for beautiful wedding day memories and stunning wedding dayphotography.
Recycled elements, including old timber sleepers, washboards, rusty barrels, wire baskets and wrought iron lampssit very comfortably in the backdrop of lush greenery provided indoors and out. A selection of vintage birdcagesand on-trend ferns are suspended from the ceiling overhead.
Hues are essentially neutral with black and white features in tiles and wallpapers. Bushland colours of grey andcharcoal are contrasted with the more colourful tints of the background garden with full blown florals in lavender and pink, forest green and mint in the stunning botanical wallpaper within the space.
The Yard, the outdoor space provided for your guests to enjoy and an extension of The Birdcage, delivers a trulyauthentic ‘Australian Backyard’ experience with citrus grove, raised herb and vegetable gardens and our ownresident chickens housed in an authentic chook house. The central focal point of the backyard is the magnificenttimber arbour which provides an entry point to the animal enclosures. A vintage tractor and naked bulb lightingoverhead completes the authentic Australian backyard theme.
The Birdcage caters for a maximum of 70 seated or 120 standing, with bi-fold doors and plantation shutters offeringcomplete privacy. The outdoor garden provides more space for your guests to mingle and to enjoy the fresh air andrustic backyard ambience. It’s just perfect for pre-dinner drinks or cocktails under the stars whilst relaxing by ourwine barrels and luscious garden beds.
