We had our dream wedding reception a The Ivory in August 2022 - WOW!!! What a night. Our wedding is still being spoken about and what a fantastic night it was amongst family and friends. The process from start to the last minute of the wedding night was a dream. Communication was amazing so everyone was always on the same page, this made things stress free and the process fun. The team were able to cater to our vision and offer there own amazing ideas. We had 230 guests at our wedding and there was not a fault. I can't recommend this venue enough for your special night.

We LOVED The Ivory so much! We worked mainly with Jen who is a legend and made everything along the way - planning, preparing, setting up - so easy and fun. Everything on the day was awesome and everyone working on our wedding night was lovely and very helpful. We had our ceremony outdoors in the courtyard followed by our reception in the ballroom. Our guests raved about the food, the staff and the seamlessness of the night's events - it was honestly a dream venue. We only have nice things to say about The Ivory. Thank you so much to Jen and all of the staff of The Ivory!

As soon as we visited The Ivory Elsternwick we fell in love! We had Claire as our coordinator - She was super lovely to deal with & was with us throughout the planning stages. The Ivory has so many special little touches such as the grand piano, fireplace & outside greenery wall. The stand out for us was the dramatic blush bud-lit ballroom ceiling that gave our wedding the romantic vibe we were after. We received so much positive feedback from our guests that the food was outstanding and they loved the cocktails on the night. The rose garden terrace was a stunning backdrop for our sunset photos and photographed beautifully for our sparkler send off! Thank you The Ivory for making our night so memorable xx Jess & James

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback Jess! It was such a pleasure to host your big day. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to Claire and the team who will be thrilled to hear it! So glad to hear you loved the food and cocktails too, you were the first to taste our new chicken dish which has proven to be a big winner among our guests. Wishing you and James all of the best for your future together and congratulations again !

The Ivory is a great central location to host your wedding and is surrounded by picturesque photoshoot locations. It's modern and set up beautifully so you save on decorations and can focus on other aspects of the wedding. A bonus was the layout with the dance floor in the centre surrounded by tables, ensuring everyone has a great view and is together. The staff were wonderful to work with as well and everyone had a great time!

We had a great wedding at the Ivory. First, Jennifer, our coordinator was really helpful for our first planning meeting right up until the night itself - including being very accommodating with a number of changes that we needed due to recent restrictions. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the grand piano that the band keyboard player could play during canapés was a really nice touch as well. Also, we had nothing but huge compliments from all our guests on the food and wait staff, who were all so friendly and professional. We definitely recommend The Ivory for anyone thinking of a wedding venue.

3rd party catering wedding venues in Melbourne?

Hi, Im looking at having our wedding at a venue where they allow us to find our own caterers. Please help.

Huntley House Elsternwick

Hi!

Our event management team works with a range of venues that allow you to bring your own caterer - we currently have 15 different venues that allow BYO catering!  There is quite a large difference in pricing between the venues so it may be best to get in touch with one of our event coordinators so that they can let you know whether any will suit.

Send an email through to: hi@refreshhospitality.com.au and the team will be in touch shortly!

Lots of luck and happy wedding planning!

Love from,
