The Dell at Gibraltar Botanical Garden

The Dell is one of the most popular ceremony locations in Gibraltar for small weddings.

It’s part of the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens (Alameda Gardens), and it’s designed specifically for intimate ceremonies.

The space is set up with curved stone seating, mature trees, and landscaped greenery all around.

It feels structured and organised — not wild or overgrown.

The setting works well year-round because the gardens are maintained carefully, so it always looks neat and photo-ready.

The Dell allows up to 25 guests.

That makes it ideal if:

You’re inviting immediate family only

You want a small, focused ceremony

You don’t need a large reception space

You don’t need to spend heavily on décor here.

The location already looks finished and balanced.

If your style is clean and modern - tailored suit, structured dress, simple bouquet - the green backdrop gives strong contrast and keeps your photos looking polished.

Another major advantage is convenience.

Because it’s inside the gardens, we can move straight into portraits immediately after the ceremony.

Another major advantage is the location. The Dell is directly opposite the Rock Hotel.

Many couples don’t realise this, but it makes planning much easier. You can have your ceremony at The Dell and host drinks or dinner at the Rock Hotel without complicated transport.

It’s a short, simple walk between the two. That proximity allows you to combine a garden ceremony with a terrace reception overlooking the bay. It also gives us flexibility with portraits - we can use the gardens, the hotel terrace, and nearby viewpoints without building in long travel gaps.
