OVERVIEW

Mewburn Park offers everything you need for your wedding: old English gardens, ponds, historic stables and a clear view marquee.

Oh hi there!

We are thrilled you found us.

Mewburn Park, 2.5hrs east of Melbourne, is a 400 acre private property and working farm offering a beautiful colonial Homestead dating from the 1850’s, as is the heritage listed brick stables.

Located in the heart of Gippsland’s food and wine region and tucked behind an oak tree lined driveway, the sanctuary of Mewburn Park has lush gardens, tranquil walkways and ponds that ooze serenity.

The Homestead is wrapped with a huge verandah, taking you back to the glorious 1920’s, while the Servant’s Quarters take you back even further to the colonial 1850’s. Mewburn Park offers a range of locations, helping couples create a wedding that is unique for them & their guests.

Homestead Gardens
The established gardens at the front of the Homestead offer a botanical garden vibe for ceremonies. Guests will arrive through the meandering garden paths, bringing them to the couples exclusive area of huge old oak trees, palms, fish pond and open lawns.

Mewburn Park Ponds
Mewburn Park has tranquil pond areas, offering a stunning ceremony space where couples can have English trees as a backdrop, or the rustic open farm land of Mewburn Park.

The Stables
Mewburn Park’s heritage listed Stables offer a beautiful spot for intimate ceremonies in the courtyard. Draped in festoon lights, this festive space helps create a unique experience for all guests. The Stables pop up bar also allows guests to enjoy this private and secluded area before the evening begins at the reception.

The Marquee
Slowly make your way into Mewburn Park’s clear view marquee; where guests can take in the ‘farmcharm’ that surrounds and the stars from above. The 25 x 10 metre marquee offers plenty of space for a sit down evening or a relaxed cocktail party with tables, chairs and festoon lights all included. We just updated our tables and chairs and polsihed the concrete floor - all for the most amazing night under the stars.

The Retreat Suite
Within the 1850’s Servant’s Quarters of Mewburn Park Homestead, the boutique Retreat Suite is tucked away. Offering a quiet space for brides and co. to relax and prepare for the day ahead.

Julia and Adam, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us to make our wedding day so amazing and memorable! Wish we could do it all over again! I had so many people comment on the venue, they absolutely loved it, and so did we. I can’t stop looking through all the photos. What an incredible place, team, and vibe. Xx

Mewburn was the most accomodating venue. From all the commutation prior to the wedding, to helping with run sheet ideas, the flow of the day and the owners Julia and Adam being on the day support. The stunning venue alone is such an amazing reason to have your wedding at Mewburn park, the staff are just an added bonus.

Oh Ellie. Thank you for your kind words. Still loving to go through your gallery - literally every photo is just so pretty... ceremony, reception and then the sunset photos... can we do it again?

April 2022

I fall in love with the marquee for the venue i just had to have our reception here. I loved we had so many areas to get the perfect images. Getting married under a beautiful gum tree, this venue is the perfect backdrop to all wedding pictures. This is such an amazing venue, I couldn't recommend enough.

Oh thanks so much for saying all of the above, it was such a nice celebration and we were so delighted to be a part of your big day

March 2024

Mewburn Park is the most dreamy venue. It was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding. The grounds are STUNNING! Honestly one of the hardest decisions of all the wedding planning was deciding where on the grounds to have the ceremony, because there were SO many beautiful options. And then there’s the glorious clear marquee with a ceiling full of fairy lights. Finally, another reason Mewburn Park is so great, is its beautiful owners Julia and Adam. Julia and Adam are so easy to work with, nothing is a hassle. Mewburn Park gave us the wedding of our dreams, and for that we will be forever grateful.

We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Mewburn Park in 2021, and it was an absolute dream come true. The picturesque surroundings of this venue left our guests in awe, and we still receive compliments on the stunning grounds. The hosts at Mewburn Park were not only professional but also went above and beyond to make our special day truly memorable. Their warmth and accommodation exceeded our expectations, creating an atmosphere of genuine care and hospitality. The venue itself is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and charm. The manicured grounds provided a breathtaking backdrop for our celebration, and the ambiance was nothing short of magical. What truly sets Mewburn Park apart is its staff. The friendliness and attentiveness of the team added an extra layer of joy to our wedding day. Their commitment to ensuring everything ran smoothly did not go unnoticed. If you're in search of a wedding venue that combines natural elegance with exceptional service, Mewburn Park is the place to choose. Our experience was nothing short of perfection, and we are forever grateful to the entire team for making our wedding day so extraordinary. Thank you, Mewburn Park, for being the backdrop to our happily ever after!

When's the best time to do the champagne tower?

We'd love to do a champagne tower at our wedding - when do you suggest fitting it in the formalities/timeline?

Mewburn Park Homestead

At our venue it's most of the time done just before speeches, so everyone is watching and then get's a Champagne for all the happy toasting. We also ahve done them right after the ceremony as you also have a Chamapagne to toast to the newly weds. Either way is beautiful and generates happy guests and great photos!
