We had the best experience at Leonards Hill Estate for our wedding! From the venue being gorgeous to the fabulous buildings, it was perfect for our event. Eleanor is a fantastic venue manager, and we highly recommend getting married here!’

Thank you so much for your kind words, Emily! We're so honoured that you chose us for you and Josh's big day and your wedding was so beautiful 🥰 We wish you both all the happiness in the world! Eleanor and LHE Team

January 2025

Our wedding was the perfect day and El and Keith at Leonard’s Hill Estate were a significant contribution to our success. We wanted somewhere with a beautiful outlook and everything in the one place. Leonard’s Hill Estate was perfect. Our photos have the most beautiful background and views. El is brilliant to coordinate with and couldn’t do enough for us. The cottage on site is the added bonus which made our night of the wedding so much more comfortable. Parents with young babies could utalise it and be comfortable as well as bride and groom staying there overnight. We wish we could do it all over again.

Nathan W.

Leonards Hill Estate

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words, Nathan and Hayley! We're so happy to hear your wedding at our venue was absolutely perfect. We're glad to hear that the views made your photos turn out incredible! We're lucky to have such a talented group of local vendors who really helped make your wedding unique. We designed the Homestead to be used by the couples and their families or friends, so we're happy to know that your guests made use of it and, of course, you two on the night! It's awesome to hear you'd do it all over again. That's exactly the kind of experience we love to create for every couple who chooses us ❤️ Thanks again! LHE Team

My husband and I got married here on the 24th of Feb 2024 and we couldn’t have asked for more. The venue is stunning, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful it looked and how smoothly everything ran. The owner, El and her team, were so lovely, and were so organised leading up to, and on the day that it made the planning process so easy. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication to making our day so memorable. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our special day. Much love Jess & Laurence xx

April 2025

We have an unbelievable wedding day at Leonard's Hill Estate. El and her team were very responsive and helpful. They really eased our stress and worry about the day. El and her team have created a beautiful venue that really suited the vibe we were hoping for, for our special day. We cannot recommend Leonard's Hill Estate enough

Samantha L.

Leonards Hill Estate

We're so glad to hear you guys had an amazing wedding day at Leonards Hill Estate! We are always trying our best to be super responsive and helpful, so it's great to know that it took some stress off your plate. We've put a lot of heart into making the venue beautiful, and hearing that it was exactly the vibe you were going for is just the best! Seriously, thanks a million for the awesome recommendation, Sam and James – it really means a lot to us!

March 2025

We had the most perfect wedding day at Leonards Hill Estate with the help of El and her husband Keith. We booked the venue 15 months out and El was extremely responsive and so helpful the entire time, whenever I had a question no matter how big or small, El was ready with an answer almost straight away. They were extremely flexible in working with us to make sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted and even let us come down to venue the day before and spend a couple of hours there setting up our DIY items. El also put us in touch with a caterer which was a great help as we are from the other side of Victoria and didn’t have a lot of knowledge of local vendors, the food was amazing and complimented by all of our guests. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice. Thank you El!!

Emily W.

Leonards Hill Estate

Oh my goodness, you guys! We're so, so happy you had such an amazing wedding at our venue! Hearing you say it was "perfect" just made our day! We loved helping you out over the past 15 months. Seriously, any question, big or small, we were just glad to be able to help. And letting you come in the day before to set up all your decorations? That was totally fine, we wanted you to make it your own! We're so pleased you loved the caterer we suggested! We know it can be tricky finding good people when you're not from around here, so we're glad they did a great job. It's just the best feeling knowing everything went smoothly on your big day. We're just so happy you picked us! Thanks so much! And most importantly, we wish you both all the happiness in the world! El and the LHE Team x

Looking for a ceremony + reception location, with inclusions and prices listed in Victoria

Hi there, we are looking for info for a June 2025 wedding, with the ceremony and reception in the same location, prices and inclusions listed as I find most brochures do not include the prices. Ideally, we are looking for a cocktail style reception.

Leonards Hill Estate

Hi Suzie!

We can definitely help you with that :) We offer both ceremony and reception in the same location and have Cocktail style reception too! We can also send you a copy of our packages if you go on to our website www.leonardshillestate.com.au/weddings

3 Bridesmaids and No Groomsmen! HELP

My future Husband does not want groomsmen, but I want my 3 bridesmaids. How do we orgnaise photos and seating plan without making it look weird?

Leonards Hill Estate

Hello Madeleine!

That sounds great - it's good to be different :) A photographer is best to answer your question about the photos, but maybe you can have photos of just you and your future husband on some shots, and then you alone and your bridesmaids in another? 

With the seating plan, I would say to only have you and your future husband on a table by yourselves (if you like) or join everyone in a U-shape table setting, where you two will be at the top and your bridesmaids can sit next t you, as well as your family and friends, therefore, not making your bridesmaids a focus and it is more inclusive.

Hope that helps!
