“Emu Bottom Homestead is a stunning place for a wedding. The rustic old farm style is what we were after, and it was delivered in spades. The food was just fantastic — plentiful and delicious, and everyone loved it. The staff were great and made everything easy, including removing tables to create a bigger dancefloor later in the night. Definitely recommend Emu Bottom!” — Rachelle S.

Perfection.
Everything ran so smoothly. The Epicurean team liased with all our vendors, guided my bridal party and myself and hosted a perfect day for us.
The food was incredible and came out so well timed!
I am so grateful for the attention to small details - making sure we were fed in between photo taking; having fireplaces ablaze in the woolshed, timing when I needed to walk down the aisle, having umbrellas ready for the rain ahead. I did not need to think of a single thing- could just enjoy my day with my husband.
Gorgeous venue. You don't need to go anywhere else for photos. Moved seamlessly from ceremony in the garden to pre dinner drinks in the miner's cottage to reception in the woolshed. Flawless.
Thank you so much Cassandra for your kind words & feedback! It was our absolute pleasure looking after you and we thank you for sharing your special day with us... All the very best to you both!
Fantastic venue. Such an easy flow between seating, dance floor and outdoor area. We had our ceremony and reception at Emu Bottom Homestead. We had 80 in the Homestead for the reception on two long tables. Kate and Alex were great and the organizing process was very easy. The food was delicious and there was so much of it.
Emu Bottom was the perfect venue for our wedding. David, the manager was wonderful to deal with and he and the staff went above and beyond on the day to make it absolutely perfect. The food, wine and atmosphere were amazing. It was raining on our wedding day so we had the ceremony in the slab hut which was so beautiful and intimate. The reception in the Homestead was absolutely perfect as well. We wouldn't change a thing!
Absolutely stunning venue, everything ran smoothly. Great communication with alex the event coordinator and louise on the day. We booked over a yr ago and had to postpone due to covid. Changing dates wasn't an issue. Everyone at our wedding was raving on about the venue, the food and the ambience. Absolutely blown away. thanks soo much. we loved it soo much. We accidentally left a couple of things behind. Louise rang us the next morning to let us know.
The Emu Bottom Homestead was absolutely the best choice for my now husband and I.
The venue both inside handout is just beautiful. The food was AMAZING and we just had the best night there.
The staff were all friendly and helpful and they deserve a big shout out for being so great throughout all the pandemic.
Emu Bottom Homestead is a stunning place for a wedding. The rustic old farm style is what we were after, and it delivered in spades. It rained really hard in the morning, so we needed to go to the back-up wet weather option, which was a cosy intimate hut with heaps of candles and it turned out that we actually liked it better than the garden we had initially wanted.
The food was just fantastic - plentiful and delicious and everyone loved it.
The staff were great and made everything easy, including removing tables ot create a bigger dance floor later in the night.
Definitely recommend Emu Bottom!
The setting was absolutely beautiful, the food was excellent. Our guests have all said how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed the day.
Everything was spectacular! From the minute we decided to book, Alex and his team were with us all the way, answering questions and emails and generally reassuring us. Then on our wedding day, the food was AMAZING!! The grounds were so beautiful, the service was so warm and professional and everything went so so smoothly. Can’t recommend Emu Bottom Homestead enough!
Our venue was absolutely beautiful and came up gorgeous on the day. We did find the interactions during the planning to be a little difficult at times, particularly with the management team based on the Mornington Peninsula, and the venue in the outer of the Macedon Ranges, so there was less flexibility with inspections etc. On the night though, we couldn't fault the service, or the experience, and made persisting through all worth it!
Beautiful venue. Amazing food and very professional service. Loved it and all my guests loved it to. Highly recommend
Beautiful venue, our guests loved everything about it. The food was fantastic and the staff were awesome.
The team at emu bottom were fantastic to deal with. The wool shed and surrounding property is so beautiful and perfect for amazing photos.
David from the Epicurean team could not have made the day better.
From initial inspection to the day itself, we could not fault the Emu Bottom / Epicurean team.
If you're looking for a country themed wedding, close to Melbourne, Emu Bottom Homestead should be high on your list.
Venue and the staff are absolutely amazing. We had a buffet lunch reception in the woolshed, the food was incredible and it really doesn't take much to decorate the space (it looks amazing with hardly anything) if you're looking for a relaxed yet beautiful atmosphere, check out Emu Bottom Homestead!
Kate, Steffi and David, (planneare & Managers) were brilliant
They thought of everything, were approachable and dog lovers
