Your idyllic rural wedding venue

Is it your dream to have a romantic wedding with picture perfect scenery of rollicking hills, a charming garden wedding in a rural idyll or a country sunset exchange of vows toasted with a cascading 40-glass champagne tower?

Maybe your wish is to have a lakeside ceremony beneath a rustic arbour, an ambient declaration of love beside a free flowing creek or a casual exchange on manicured lawns followed by barefoot bocce and an estate BBQ.

You and your guests will be entranced with this magical pocket of country Victoria, located near the Yarra Valley.

From petite weddings to lavish affairs, whatever the dream – we will help make your wedding day your dream day.

Your Journey

Shall we? The first step to a Flowerdale Estate wedding is a tour with one of our lovely wedding coordinators. Together, we will trace the steps you will take on your wedding day beginning with the parlour and the homestead suites.

Then we will visit the four stunning ceremony locations, followed by the spectacular reception space and the bar and deck area. Lastly, we will take in the recreational facilities and guest accommodation options.

Our collaboration truly begins when we sit down and your wedding day visions begin to unfold. This is where the magic happens!

If you decide to say I do to a Flowerdale Estate wedding, we will tentatively hold your preferred date and prepare a wedding day proposal customised to your vision. Once you return the signed proposal, your dream wedding day is secured.

If an in-person meeting isn’t possible we can organise a virtual tour and sit down with you.

The Ceremony

Flowerdale Estate has four idyllic, atmospheric settings for you to say ‘I do’. Each locale is bursting with charm and beauty.

For petite weddings, the grand central oak located at the front of the Homestead is the perfect spot with its magical views.

The North Lawn with its manicured green lawn, garden beds of white roses, immaculate hedging and creeping rose arbour is a charming garden wedding space.

The beauty of the lakeside locale with its rustic arbour, adjacent gum trees and native flora beckons those dreaming of an authentic country wedding.

The magnificent free flowing King Parrot Creek runs through the Estate making for an exquisite ambient setting to exchange vows with native flora and birdlife surrounding the site.

The Reception

A reception to remember.

Our stunning architecturally designed reception space, The Pavilion, is positioned with The Valley of a Thousand Hills as a stunning back drop. Constructed by a local builder, The Pavilion is laden with contemporary country details including large oak entrance doors, huge wrought iron light fittings, timber fixtures and heated, polished concrete floors crafted by neighbouring artisans. The indoor outdoor space can seat up to 180 guests comfortably accommodating your band and dancefloor.

Your guests will be in for a sumptuous treat with our Director of Food Jonathan Alston, who has worked at Michelin star restaurants in the UK and France and has led the kitchen of some of Melbourne’s best restaurants creating your menu.

Whether it be a lavish sit down affair, canapes and cocktails on the deck or a casual Estate BBQ our food and beverage packages are customisable.

Stay The Night

Our gorgeous North and Garden Suites exude romance and sophistication for your wedding night accommodation. Joined by a private lounge, these suites are located in the historic homestead.

The North Suite is perfect for the wedding couple with its modern four poster bed, wooden floors and creamy interiors. Open the doors, step outside on to the verandah and enjoy the manicured north lawn and garden area. The Garden Suite with its dreamy period accents including a stunning ensuite clawfoot bath is ideal for a very important couple in your life.

Your other guests can enjoy one of the 26 generously proportioned Valley View rooms or The Guesthouse which has four bedrooms and can accommodate up to nine people.

Welcome And Recovery Parties

When one day of wedding celebrations just isn’t enough, make a long weekend of it. We are the masters of two and three day weddings with completely customisable parties bursting with fun and personality.

Set the tone for the weekend with a welcoming twilight pallet picnic on the lawns on that balmy summer’s evening, a casual BBQ on the deck, a three course formal dinner in Gracie’s Restaurant or a grazing feast under festoon lights.

Relive last night’s celebrations with all of your favourite people at your recovery. Begin with a late breakfast spiced up with Mimosas or Bloody Marys then head over to the North Lawn for a game of Bocce. Relax poolside or take up the challenge of a tennis competition followed by burgers on the deck. However you spend your day is completely up to you, let us take care of the rest.
