Goulburn River Lodge

What You’ll Love About Working with Goulburn River Lodge For Your Shepparton / Central Victoria Wedding:

• Country scenery in every direction. The venue is surrounded by gardens, ponds, river views, and the Cathedral Ranges, creating a scenic setting across the whole property.
• Flexible food and drink options. External caterers are welcome, and BYO drinks are permitted with RSA staff for more choice across the menu and bar.
• Onsite accommodation. Three self-contained cottages sleep up to 12 guests, giving close family or friends a convenient place to stay.

Across the property, the open-air chapel sits among timber pews, lawns, established greenery, ponds, and water views. The Goulburn River and Cathedral Ranges frame the setting with clear country character, giving each part of the celebration a scenic backdrop without leaning into one fixed wedding style. The gardens, waterways, and surrounding bushland also create natural photo locations throughout the grounds.

Inside the Lodge, mudbrick walls, slate floors, local hardwood details, an open fireplace, and the upstairs Masters Bar bring warmth and texture to smaller receptions. Larger celebrations have space for a marquee setup on the grounds. External caterers are welcome, with shared tables, grazing spreads, plated service, and outdoor-friendly menus all well suited to the country setting. BYO drinks are permitted with RSA staff, and three self-contained two-bedroom cottages sleep up to 12 guests onsite.
