Small & Intimate Weddings, Beautifully Celebrated

Even if you live outside of Melbourne or Victoria, Marybrooke Manor has on-site accommodation with 20 rooms for your guests to relax in the night before and/or after your reception!
Our micro-wedding package allows you to have guest numbers between 25 and 40, and still enjoy a ceremony, reception, and option to add in a cocktail hour.
If you’re looking for a slightly larger wedding package, we don’t have minimum guest numbers, just a minimum cost with plenty of add-ons available to help you reach it! We want everyone to be able to get married, so contact us today to talk about organising your dream intimate wedding.
