Picture a grand Italianate country estate and you could think that you’d have to travel to Italy – but no, we’re lucky to have this beautiful wedding venue right near Melbourne. With rolling green lawns, a stunning clear lake, lush foliage, sprawling grassland, rose gardens and secret shady nooks there are so many places for a private wedding ceremony, or reception. With old world charm and the convenience of everything on offer in the one location, whisk your guests away for a few hours to courtyards with overlooking shuttered windows, gardens in full bloom and large old trees providing dappled shade in the summer.

There are no less than 10 sites for your ceremony highlighting special features of the grounds and buildings – such as The Lake, or Silky Oak. Photo opportunities abound in the gardens and your booking allows you “exclusive use of the main hallway, grand staircase, salon and first floor landing within the Mansion for elegant and romantic photos.” Your reception in the recently restored Refectory offers the ambience of classic architecture highlighted with designer chandeliers and historical charm – perfect for your team to work their magic with flower and table design.

Then there’s the cobble stoned Courtyard surrounded by high walls and arched windows exuding a “blend of old-world charm and modern romance”. Or perhaps an outdoor reception at The Farm, or the rustic appeal of The Barn with “featuring bluestone buildings, original trusses, exposed brick, barn doors and rustic fence lines” are more your thing.

Whichever location you choose, a dedicated professional team are on hand to bring your wedding day dreams to life. And all with the bonus of elegant and fine food provided by Bursaria featuring local seasonal produce to tantalise your guests’ tastebuds.

Take your guests on a magical carpet ride they’ll never forget!
