Creeks, fern gullies and leafy tracks also create striking photo locations across the Sanctuary.

Receptions are held in the renovated Brolga Room, where large windows, stone finishes and garden views connect the space with the surrounding bushland.

AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
Couples consistently rave about Healesville Sanctuary’s warm, attentive team and the calm, easy experience they create—especially for smaller weddings. Guests love the natural bush setting, animals and birdsong, and the beauty of the Brolga Room (including how well it suits weather changes). Service stands out for being accommodating with dietary requirements, quick with last-minute adjustments, and flexible with ideas. Many mention thoughtful inclusions that might cost extra elsewhere—like decor touches, table styling, and lawn games—plus great food and smooth day-of coordination that helps everything feel relaxed, fun, and beautifully organised.

Best wedding venue ever!!! My husband Matt and I got married at Healesville Sanctuary and we had the most incredible time!! The Brolga Room is a stunning little reception venue and the lawns outside were the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The venue manager Chloe was fantastic as were all of her staff, they were so accommodating and nothing was too much of a hassle. She even went above and beyond ordering in some extra chairs for the venue so we could have the comfier option. They also did our florals for the arbour and table centrepieces in-house and they turned out incredible and blended perfectly with our bouquets from a different florist. The food was great! We did the bush bbq buffet, it was all super tasty and there was plenty to go around. Our guests all commented on what a fantastic time they had at such a unique and amazing venue. Chloe also organised for a keeper from the land of the parrots avery to meet us and let us in after it had closed so we could attempt to recreate a photo from one of our first dates. I think the keepers name was Hayden and he was fantastic - spending time with us and the birds to get some incredible shots! Not to mention all of the other stunning locations around the sanctuary to take photos. I would encourage anyone who's a wildlife lover to book their wedding with Healesville Sanctuary in the Brolga Room, you won't regret it!

Staff at the Healesville Sanctuary where the Brolga Room is situated were lovely and accommodating with dietary requirements. They took the stress out of printing a seating plan, dressing the tables, florals, and many other reception and ceremony needs for a small cost. They were receptive to feedback and quick to make changes, even with last minute dietary requirements sent through. Highly recommend for a small wedding (6 tables of 8 and a bridal table for snug and we utilised the undercover outdoor area as a dance floor).

Healesville Sanctuary Weddings and Events took care of everything for our wedding, and the staff were incredible on the day. They helped everything run smoothly. Having the ceremony and the reception on the same venue was very relaxing, and allowing the guests to explore the sanctuary and play lawn games was the cherry on top. Many of the things included in the wedding package would have cost extra with another venue (e.g. archway, table centre pieces, lawn games, etc). 100% recommend as a venue to anyone who loves Australian nature and animals, or just wants a relaxed and fun wedding.

The venue was a very natural park/lawn setting, mid-century modern building and the location was stunning, the service was great and the food couldn't be faulted and the entire process was very easy. the events staff were very attentive
