The Best Yarra Valley Wedding Venues
I have been lucky enough to perform 100’s of weddings in the beautiful Yarra Valley and boy, does it have some amazing wedding venues to offer couples.
So without any further chit chat, here are some of my favourites in no particular order!
Acacia Ridge Winery Yarra Valley
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Yarra Valley, Acacia Ridge Winery is a beloved wedding venue (and crazy popular) for good reason - it offers a perfect blend of elegance and country charm.
Couples adore its stunning vineyard backdrop, rustic barn, and rolling hills, so many photo ops!
What I love so much about Acacia (other than the venue, food and beautiful surrounds) is the people. Their team are one of the best - owners Loch and Cathy are two of the greats and their coordinator on the day, Suzie, is a fantastic operator, she knows exacatly how things should run and always makes it a fun and stress free environment for couples and wedding suppliers alike.
Very hard to look past this one as an option if you are looking at Yarra Valley Wedding Venues… (book early!!)

Immerse in the Yarra Valley
Immerse in the Yarra Valley is another venue I frequent regularly, and I love it.
Immerse offers a blend of stunning vineyard views, enchanting gardens, and exceptional service that couples and guests rave about.
What I love about Immerse is that they have so many ceremony locations, couples really are spoilt for choice. A beautiful indoor chapel (no rain going in there!) along with several picturesque outdoor options, with one being under cover also. All locations have their own charm, so it really does leave couples with some big decisions.
Once again, I love the team at immerse, they have a superb culture, with very little staff turnover and a real team first approach. They are very attentive and really go the extra mile for couples, I can’t speak highly enough of them.
The venue's is known for their top-notch catering, featuring exquisite food and award-winning wines, so those are always crowd pleasers for any wedding!
Oh and they have great onsite accommodation for you and your guests! A huge bonus, and very convenient.

Stones of the Yarra Valley
No Yarra Valley wedding venue list would be complete without a mention of the great Stones of the Yarra Valley. Boy, do I love this place. These guys have been at the top of their game for a long time and it shows. They are an absolute dream boat for couples and suppliers alike, some of the best food, best service on breathtaking grounds, hard to argue with that combo.
The ceremony space in the chapel is simply gorgeous, and provides so many amazing spots for great photos.
They also have the best driveway in the game - if you know, then you know!

Just 30 minutes from Melbourne, The Farm in Warrandyte South is like a rustic slice of the Yarra Valley, complete with rolling paddocks and vineyard views! The Farmhouse and Barn are decked out with festoon lights, antique goodies, and a timber verandah that'll make you feel right at home.
With award-winning Rob Dolan Wines as the neighbour, they serve up farm-to-plate experiences for your big day, featuring local wine and produce. The food here really is exception.

Recently named one of Australia’s top 21 wedding venues by The Wed, Hubert Estate is no stranger to being a popular Yarra Valley wedding destination.
With curated menus and stunning modern architecture in the heart of Victoria’s wine country, Hubert Estate has everything to make your day unforgettable. What I love about Hubert is the stunning amphitheater which then feeds directly into the elegant Hubert Gallery of Art for after ceremony drinks and canapes, very cool!
The food and service here is outstanding with bespoke menus by Executive Chef Michael Smith, perfect beverage pairings, and a spacious dance floor, your magical day unfolds from your table to the dance floor.

Coomb
Coomb Yarra Valley is a stunning wedding venue and one that is so highly regarded. Nestled smack bang in the middle of the Yarra Valley it offers a blend of historic elegance and natural beauty. Originally the estate of Australian opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, this venue provides an enchanting setting with lush gardens, sprawling vineyards, and picturesque views of the Yarra Valley.
What I love about Coomb (and I know couples do also) is the many ceremony / photo locations all in the same place. The Italian gardens, or Oak tree, or cellar door, the list goes on. Once again the food is phenomenal, as you would expect for such a venue. An absolute winner and very popular.

Vines of the Yarra Valley
Floating above the vineyards on Helen’s Hill in the Yarra Valley, Vines gives you front-row seats to views of the Yarra Ranges—a perfect stage for your Yarra Valley wedding! Year-round, they host gorgeous weddings that go hand in hand with the seasons: soak up the fresh, open air in spring and summer, or cozy up in the warm, inviting spaces in autumn and winter. Rain or shine, Vines has the vibe to make your day unforgettable!
I have been lucky enough to do many weddings at Vines. The ceremony space outside is really spectacular, with 360 views and flows beautifully into canapes and drinks after you have said ‘i do’. The food and Beveridge offering here is really strong and the service is superb. With a recently added wet weather option also, they have all bases covered. Definitely one to keep high on your list!
As a side note, these fine folk have also included me as one of their top celebrants in Melbourne, ah shucks!

Potters Receptions
Potters Receptions is a ripper. It’s an all-in-one wedding venue set on six acres of landscaped gardens, just 20 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD.
Similar to several of my fav Yarra Valley venues, Potters has multiple ceremony location options - in this case they have a dreamy wisteria-draped courtyard, a garden chapel, cascading waterfalls, which offers great options for any couple, along with unlimited photo ops!
They offer a spacious reception area for up to 220 guests, and inclusive packages covering catering, coordination, and luxury accommodation. Designed to capture natural light and the beauty of each season, Potters really is a classic.

Zonzo Estate
Zonzo in the Yarra Valley has a charming mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, you can choose to say ‘I do” in their modern architectural chapel or bask in the sun, not to mention have a twirl under the stars for your first dance, so many options! And let’s talk about the food for a second—Zonzo serves up delicious Italian cuisine that’ll have your guests raving, accompanied by wine made in small batches. I must say the pizza is a real highlight every time I am here!
The venue’s vibe is so warm and inviting that even your most awkward relatives will feel at home. Plus, with endless photo ops on the grounds, they have all bases covered.
