Top Wedding Venues in Melbourne for a Personal Ceremony
If you’re planning a wedding in Melbourne and looking to ensure it’s personal, stylish and, unforgettable, venue plays a huge role. After all, you want photos that match your vibe! As a Melbourne marriage celebrant, I’ve been lucky to marry couples at some incredible spots, and these are some of the best wedding venues in Melbourne.
The Glasshaus Richmond
Indoor garden meets urban inner city warehouse. It’s a literal greenhouse filled with lush plants and rustic aesthetics. Celebrant tip: Keep the ceremony short and sweet so you and your guests can enjoy the beautiful gardens, and of course, take a million photos.
2. Stones of the Yarra Valley
The vibe here is elegant, romantic, with a countryside charm. Just outside Melbourne, this iconic venue gives you vineyard views, a rustic chapel or barn, and a lush reception space. Celebrant tip: The chapel’s acoustics are incredible! Imagine walking down the aisle to the sounds of a live guitarist, or violist. That’ll take your ceremony to the next level.
3. The George Ballroom St Kilda
Step into the old world of romance, with textured walls and chandeliers, this stunning venue creates the ultimate romantic backdrop without the need to do much styling. Celebrant tip: a much quieter venue meaning it’s perfect for storytelling ceremonies with emotional moments.
4. Fitzroy Gardens or Carlton Gardens
Perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed, outdoor celebration, these heritage listed gardens are beautiful year-round - and budget-friendly. Celebrant tip: Always have a wet-weather backup!
