Yarra Ranges Estate

What a wedding... In a good way! This place ticks a lot of boxes if you are looking for a beautiful place with a fantastic outlook and good grub.

The food was good, but the buffet style dessert bar was perfect! I have never seen a buffet styled dessert bar, but this thing was going off like it was the last ever Taylor Swift concert.

Hands down one of my favourite venues to photograph as a wedding photographer local to the area. I've been here a few times for my business Carry Your Heart Photography and am blown away with the venue every time!

What makes Yarra Ranges Estate stand out is not only its stunning aesthetics but also the exceptional staff. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, offering unwavering support and attention to detail. Even stepping in quickly to dance on the floor whilst I tested some lighting settings for the couples first dance!

I highly recommend Yarra Ranges Estate to engaged couples in search of a wedding venue that seamlessly blends natural beauty, a committed team, and an experience that will be etched in their hearts forever.

We recently had our wedding at Yarra Ranges Estate and it couldn't have gone more perfectly! Anna, Catherine and Vanessa were extremely professional and friendly throughout the entire process and made sure we were well looked after on the day of our wedding. The venue is beautiful with scenic views and plenty of nice spots for photographs and to enjoy with family and friends. From ensuring we had drinks the entire night to answering all the questions during the wedding planning process, we couldn't be more appreciate of all the staff at Yarra Ranges for helping us create our perfect day!

Beautiful venue and wonderful staff .

Perfect spot for a wonderful wedding venue .

Excellent chef who created a wonderful vegetarian banquet for guests and adapted to vegan too.

A fantastic venue to get married at, with breathtaking views. Anna, Anton, Vanessa & Catherine you were all fantastic. From on the day coordination and your fantastic behind the scenes photos and videos you shared on your socials. You helped our wedding run smoothly and had us feeling like VIPs giving us sips of our drink during the family photos, which was so cute. The food was on point, so many compliments from our guests. Loved our day!

We could not recommend YRE highly enough. They were such a professional operation on our wedding day, everything ran super smoothly. We loved their no nonsense approach and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Anna and Anton are so flexible and easy going, we were reassured everything would work out wonderfully, which of course it did! We also cannot go past how absolutely incredible the food was. Restaurant quality with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten! Wish we could get married there again - and really hope some of our friends get married here so we can be invited back as a guest!

We recently had the most incredible wedding experience at Yarra Ranges Estate, and we can't recommend it enough! From the moment we discovered this venue through a friend's recommendation, we were enamored by its breathtaking view during our first visit. Anna, the manager, and Vanessa (who created amazing videos shared them on their IG) were a dream team to work with.

The venue itself is a picturesque vineyard that exclusively caters to weddings. Its rustic charm, coupled with natural elements, creates a truly captivating ambiance. We were beyond thrilled to not only find a beautiful venue but also encounter an outstanding team led by Anna, who, along with the staff, was exceptionally professional, responsive, and attentive to our every need.

Yarra Ranges Estate went above and beyond by offering additional services and amenities that enhanced our wedding experience. From providing wishing well, and decorative options to offering a list of trusted vendors, they truly made the planning process much smoother.

We were delighted by the venue's accommodation of our customisation requests and their flexibility in making our vision come to life. Anna and her team ensured that every detail was executed flawlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day. The level of service was exceptional, and the entire property, including the garden and vineyard, was impeccably maintained and stunningly beautiful.

The culinary experience at Yarra Ranges Estate surpassed all expectations. The food was not only delicious but also plentiful, satisfying the palates of all our guests. The impressive wine and beer selections added an extra touch of excellence to our celebration.

In terms of accommodations, the venue provided a bridal suite that offered privacy for those who needed it, ensuring the comfort and convenience of our guests.

Overall, our experience at Yarra Ranges Estate was nothing short of exceptional. Anna and her team were truly wonderful, going above and beyond to create the perfect atmosphere and provide outstanding service. We are immensely grateful for their contributions to our special day.

If you're looking for a remarkable wedding venue, Yarra Ranges Estate is an absolute gem. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Anna, Vanessa and the entire team for making our wedding unforgettable!

Delicious food and wine. Very excited to be planning a wedding here <3

Update -
We had a spreadsheet of nearly 80 venues & we checked out 22 of those in person - well, we sure did our research, and James & I picked Yarra Ranges Estate. We made the right choice! We had the best time, and our guests have given us so many compliments. We wanted a scenic winery wedding, with a seat down reception for a 140 guest list, with space for a band and dance floor. I also wanted amazing food, a decent wine selection, all for a fair price per head. Anna and Anton, who own Yarra Ranges Estate, bring this loving family vibe to their venue, which overlooks their vines, a forest & hills. Their son is a fantastic chef in the kitchen, and ALL their wine is on offer to guests - there is nothing worse than going to a winery wedding and only getting one white/red for the guests, don't you think? It was so AWESOME to have all nine of their wines available to my guests. Plus a cocktail and heaps of beer. The food was great - and everyone raved about the dessert buffet. Right from booking to the end of the night, you could tell Anna & her team are very experienced and knew what they were doing. They were also very fast to email me back, or take my phone calls through the whole process. I was a COVID bride, and we picked three different dates before finally it could happen - Anna was an absolute legend, so VERY KIND about it. I am forever grateful to Yarra Ranges Estate for helping us have the best day ever <3

Perfect for wedding or big functions,the hosts and stuff are lovely , very helpful and can make what could be an stressful day, a very memorable experience.
April had the perfect weather and colours. Nothing but praise from over 100 guests.
Do recommend.
Booking ahead recommended.

Beautiful venue with wonderful people, delicious food and wines! Returned after many years for a visit and lunch with the family over the weekend. The venue looks so amazing with all the changes and the food and wines are still as good and delicious as we remember, maybe even better! It was so nice to see Anna and Anton again, and have them both come to say hello to have a chat, as well as meeting lovely Catherine too. All the staff were wonderful. It was a definite reminder as to why we picked Yarra Ranges Estate for our wedding 9 years ago. Looking forward to going back again one day!

I was a guest at a wedding here last night, and what a beautiful setting! A stunning view, rustic wooden setting with fairy lights everywhere (always a win in my books). The food was plentiful and delicious! Thank you for a great night!

Honestly the best wedding venue! From the owners to the staff they all went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was a success! From the planning stages to the end product Anna, Anton and her team are the best I couldn’t talk more highly of the them! Food was amazing, hospitality was incredible. Thank you so much

I went to a wedding a few days ago here and had an amazing time. The best catered wedding I have ever been to! There was heaps of normal food, but as a vegan I was so pleasantly surprised at the options. Delicious, filling and unique - from entree to dessert.
Thank you!

My partner and I recently got married at Yarra Ranges Estate and could not have been more happy with the staff and the venue. From the very first day we visited the venue, the team at YRE were absolutely fantastic to deal with. They were friendly, approachable, helpful and communicative. They were happy to meet all of our requests to bring our day together. The venue looked incredible on the day with the most perfectly manicured gardens and the food was absolutely delicious (and all dietary requirements were catered to!). All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how accomodating and lovely the staff were. Anna was friendly, helpful and accomodating from start to finish and made sure the wedding ran smoothly. Catherine was always happy to answer our questions and chat about wedding logistics in the lead up to the day. Vanessa was absolutely gorgeous and was such a big help during bridal party photos. Jamie was always helpful whenever we saw her. We are so grateful and appreciative for everything YRE did to help us have the most magical day. Thank you!!!!

Married the woman of my dreams here 🥰 ( @ourlifeinmelbourne )
Stunning backdrop and the lady who owns it is simply amazing.
I would definitely recommend 👍

We had tasty lunch in the restaurant. The staff were really nice and helpful with cheerful smiles. The environment was perfect, we really enjoyed the food. The pork belly was soooo good matching with fruity sauce! The dessert was super delicious, we ordered dried fruit almond semifreddo, the taste was like what I had in Italy! The price was good, we had 1 appetiser, 2 main courses, 2 drinks, 1 dessert. Total was less than AUD 100.

Where to even begin with the absolutely amazing Yarra Ranges Estate. It was an wonderful place to get married and celebrate our wedding. Everything is on site, from ceremony, cocktail hr, reception and photo locations. The team at YRE went above and beyond for us before our day and even more so on our day. You can really tell that they are passionate and care about their couples. Anna and her team even included little extra things on the day to make it even more special. We are so thankful to have had our wedding here and to have had such an incredible experience. We could not recommend this venue enough, it is so beautiful and well looked after. It was the perfect location for our perfect day ❤

We had a great time photographing a wedding here, the owners were professional, friendly and great to work with. Fantastic food and a great to place to shoot at too. Definitely a must see venue!

Just had my wedding there and it is an amazing venue run by a lovely family. The food is perfect and their wines are delicious. Its one of the few venues that have a full fridge of beer, most places have like one or 2 types of beers, they have a full fridge so if you and you, your family and friends are beer drinkers then this is the place for ya.

Lovely place for photos, this places ticks all of the boxes.
