Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Venue

Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges is home to Marybrooke Manor, a beautiful historical venue with a large outdoor ceremony space, with a big lawn and Americana-style white chairs. Our Gazebo is the perfect frame for your wedding ceremony background, and has the option to come with white fabric draping, flowers and a chandelier.

The aisle is lined with perfectly trimmed bushes, which tie in immaculately with the large, precisely kept hedges that outline the outdoor ceremony area. The large lawn behind the ceremony space is perfect for guests to mingle, and even get one big group photo as well as smaller group portraits. Our list of preferred suppliers including the best wedding photographers is available in a tour of Marybrooke Manor, and these people know our venue so well – so are certain to get your photos of the outdoor ceremony area perfect!

Marybrooke Manor also has an indoor ceremony location as a backup for any bad weather that might happen on the day. Our indoor ceremony spot is the perfect backup, as it has ceiling-high windows with a panoramic view of the pine trees and gardens outside, so you don’t entirely lose the ‘outdoor’ feel of the Gazebo ceremony space.

It shows up just as beautiful in photos, and doesn’t mean you can’t pop into the garden areas once the weather clears up later for more photos! We guarantee exclusive use of the Manor while your wedding is on, so you and your guests are able to wander around the whole property and take photos.
