About Exclusive Venue Hire
300 Standing / Reception
Plants spill from copper fixtures overhead while fairy lights weave through exposed beams, transforming our entire Cardiff Bay venue into your private botanical paradise. With Exclusive Venue Hire at The Botanist, you and up to 300 guests take over both floors of our Mermaid Quay location, from the buzzing ground floor bar to the quieter first floor retreat and sun-soaked terrace overlooking the water. Our ground floor becomes your main celebration space, where bartenders craft botanical cocktails just for your party at the expansive bar. Rustic wooden tables fill the room, while hanging plants and warm lighting from suspended bulbs create that garden party atmosphere we're known for, whatever the Welsh weather decides to do. The versatile layout works brilliantly for wedding receptions, corporate celebrations, Christmas parties, networking events and summer gatherings. Upstairs provides additional seating and a change of pace, with direct access to our outdoor balcony where guests can step out for bay views and fresh air between toasts. Your dedicated event coordinator works with you to arrange everything from welcome drinks and exceptional buffets to extras like live acoustic music, DJs, or cocktail masterclasses for the more adventurous crowd. The venue sits right on Mermaid Quay with easy access to public transport, making arrivals simple for all your guests. We handle dietary requirements across the board, ensuring vegetarians, vegans and anyone with specific needs enjoys the celebration just as much as everyone else. Whether you're planning a wedding reception, marking a company milestone, or gathering everyone for the annual Christmas do, taking over The Botanist means your celebration happens surrounded by greenery, good food, and that relaxed botanical vibe that makes any event feel less formal and more memorable.
