Villa Howden

Tall cypress trees, pale textured walls and a paved courtyard give Villa Howden a little French-villa feeling on the shores of North West Bay. It’s a wedding setting in Howden, south of Hobart, with gardens and accommodation around the ceremony space.

Lillian and Daniel’s courtyard ceremony

I married Lillian and Daniel at Villa Howden, with their guests gathered in the courtyard and pink and cream flowers framing the ceremony. The tall trees and villa walls make a beautiful backdrop while keeping the couple at the centre of it all.

Their review says the ceremony is what they remember most clearly from their wedding day. You can read their full review and meet the wedding team, including Luma Souza Photography, who took the photographs on this page.

Staying and celebrating at the villa

Villa Howden’s wedding information describes garden ceremonies and receptions in Bruni’s restaurant. The boutique hotel also offers accommodation on the property, so it’s worth talking through rooms alongside your ceremony and reception plans.

Ask the venue about your guest numbers, the spaces available, catering and bar arrangements, and which parts of the property are included in your booking. Lillian and Daniel’s supplier list reflects their own wedding; confirm the arrangements available for yours directly with the venue.

Planning your ceremony

The venue’s address is 77 Howden Road, Howden TAS 7054. Share the address with guests and allow time for transport from their accommodation.

For a courtyard ceremony, walk through the seating layout, access and sound with your team. Agree on a rain and wind backup that works for your guest count, and decide when the weather call will be made. A warm layer is useful for guests staying outside later in the day.
