OVERVIEW
Marybrooke Manor is a breathtaking wedding venue with extensive accommodation where you can get ready onsite, stay over night after your ceremony & reception, and enjoy breakfast with your guests the day after.
Marybrooke is nestled on the edge of the majestic Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges. The magnificent National Trust listed reception venue has guest accommodation and is the perfect one-stop destination for your wedding ceremony & reception.
Built in 1940, Marybrooke began as the grandest guesthouse in a chain of six guesthouses all using the pre-fix of "Mary". Over recent years Marybrooke has undergone extensive renovations to restore and reinstate the building to reflect it's original charm and elegance.
For ceremonies, we have a picturesque outdoor garden lawn area with gazebo and up to 110 chairs. Alternatively, our indoor ceremony area has beautiful garden outlooks and is always available as a wet weather fall back.
Over eight acres of gardens provides ample photo opportunities, but you can also use our heritage drawing room for indoor shots.
With spectacular garden views, our reception room with a large portable dance floor can perfectly reflect your elegant style. Pre-dinner drinks and canapes can be provided in the Wine Garden with the Manor providing a magnificent backdrop, or in the indoor bar as a fall back.
We offer a flexible range of all-inclusive ceremony & reception packages tailored to your individual needs so your big day is truly personalised. You can get ready onsite and enjoy breakfast with your guests the next day. Menu tastings can also be arranged, and we have the Marybrooke app designed specifically for our couples to communicate and store all their important documents.
With 20 recently refurbished four-star accommodation suites and a separate four bedroom cottage able to sleep over 60 guests in total, we can also cater for your guests' accommodation needs. Breakfast is included in all our room rates.
You can stay at the Manor the night before and spend the day in our bridal lounge getting ready while your partner prepares at the nearby Cottage and enjoys a late check out. You can also enjoy breakfast with your guests the next morning after spending the night in our complimentary bridal suite.
And remember - we only host one wedding per day, and our restaurant / bar does not trade to the public.

Yes. Our packages include everything you will need including food, beverages, decorations, placecards, professional DJ and complimentary accommodation for you on your wedding night.

Absolutely. Part of our bridal lounge is set up like a make-up / hair salon, so the bride can spend all day there getting ready. Meanwhile, the boys can enjoy preparing at the Green Haven Cottage - pool table and all!
No. You should have exactly who you want at your wedding. That's why we don't impose a minimum number of guests. Instead, we have a minimum spend requirement, so if you have a smaller number of guests you can spend the difference on all sorts of optional extras - thereby getting value for every dollar you spend.
We try to let you have the wedding you really want! We therefore take pride in customising weddings to ensure they are truly personalised. This might mean decorative, food, timing or beverage changes. After all, each couple is unique, so their weddings should be aswell.

Get Expert AdviceAre wedding venues only 18+ or can minors attend the reception where alcohol is being served?

Under 18 can attend wedding venues, however they are not allowed to consume alcohol (regardless of whether their parents give their permission). Children & teens are most welcome at most wedding venues, however you would need to check with your actual venue if they have their own rules in place.
