  We would totally recommend anyone to have their wedding at Marybrooke Manor. Deborah and the team were supportive throughout the wedding planning journey and ensure everything went smoothly!

My partner and I literally just let the day run with their coordination without worrying too much about the day.

The in-house breakfast is great and the venue itself has ample parking lots and spacious drive-in (to take grand photos with the manor as the background).

Around the wedding venue, there are a few aesthetic reserves or parks that you can drive out to have photos taken!

  Choosing Marybrooke as our wedding venue was the absolute best decision we could have made. From the very first interaction all the way through to our wedding day, the communication and guidance from the team was incredible, the marybrooke app meant we could ask any random questions at any time and they’d reply almost instantly, it made planning so easy.

The venue and grounds are absolutely beautiful at any time of year and even in winter we had a lovely ceremony in the gazebo, knowing that the chapel was ready to go as a back up eased so much stress.

The inclusions and optional extras are brilliant, they really have thought of everything. We were so happy with how they set everything up on the day, it all looked exactly as we’d hoped.

We had so many guests tell us how much they’d loved the venue and how brilliant the staff were. Deborah was so helpful in the lead up and we had Andrew coordinate everything on the day and he was an absolute star, we wouldn’t have changed a single thing.

The accomodation on site was so convenient for us and our guests, the rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable. The food was great too!

Nothing was ever too much trouble and they went above and beyond every step of the way to ensure that everything went perfectly.

Thank you so much to the entire marybrooke team for making our wedding day so special. We can’t wait to return for our 1st anniversary.

  My wedding day at Marybrooke Manor was fantastic. It was a freezing cold and rainy september day, but that didn't stop it from being a cosy and happy indoor event in the beautiful manor. All the staff were warm and professional and made a great effort to make sure all our needs were attended to. The price was also very reasonable, and they were very upfront about all costs. I highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting a wedding with beautiful old-world cosy charm.

  Deborah, Andrew and the team did an absolutely fantastic job of ensuring not only did the day run smoothly but also made lots of suggestions both in the lead up and on the day to make our day incredible despite rain. The gardens were so beautiful both in Sun and rain.

  A big thank you to Helen and Deborah! They are professional and very laid back which made it easy for us to communicate and get along with them. The big day ran smoothly and most importantly they made sure we enjoyed our day. They were accommodating to our little quirks that we wanted to incorporate into our day. Everything was great! All the staff were there when we needed assistance. Ps. The Marybrooke App is genius idea! We highly recommend them!

  One of Mount Dandenong's longest standing and most popular wedding venues, if you want a place that has it all. Onsite accommodation, 2 ceremony spaces both indoor and outdoor, reception, photo locations and close to other spots for either photos or private accommodation. As a vendor that has worked here a few times, they always look after me and I hear good feedback from my clients from their perspective as well. The absolute best time for photos here is mid to late April where the trees look their best in autumn.
Also be sure to plan out your day to have enough time for photos before it gets dark, especially in winter.

  This venue made all our wedding dreams come true. They are super transparent with their packages and inclusions and anything you could think of asking, they have already thought about. Communication with the venue was made incredibly easy using their app and onsite accommodation made the choice easy to make. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the optional decoration packages just elevate it to the next level. The food was delicious, and the beverage options are generous. We highly recommend Marybrooke Manor for not just a wedding but for a stay. Thank you to Deb, Andrew and the team for your amazing hospitality and service.
