Highlights of working with Longfield 1838 for your Yarra wedding:
"I was lucky enough to attend a gorgeous wedding at Longfield 1838 over the weekend. What an absolutely stunning location and venue to celebrate a wedding. Gorgeous heritage sandstone and timber buildings and beautifully manicured and maintained gardens." — Katrina
If you are dreaming of an authentic rural escape for your wedding, Longfield in Yarra offers a beautiful blend of heritage charm and working farm vibes. Located just 20 minutes from Goulburn and 45 minutes from Canberra, this Georgian homestead dates back to 1838. It provides a breathtaking backdrop for your celebration, overlooking the Great Dividing Range.
You will feel the history of the property as soon as you arrive at the estate, which features original sandstone and timber buildings nestled within manicured gardens. The layout creates a natural amphitheatre feel with sweeping views of the hills and valley, making it an ideal spot for a romantic country ceremony. It is a place where the atmosphere is grounded and genuine, and you might even see the resident cattle dropping by the nearby paddock to say hello.
Your day can flow seamlessly from a garden ceremony to a reception in the rustic shed, which is located just a short walk from the main house. The team there provides incredible flexibility, allowing you to choose your own caterers or work with their recommended local suppliers to suit your taste. With a flexible drinks policy and a dedicated team to help with logistics and coordination, you have the freedom to create a celebration that is uniquely yours without any unnecessary stress.
