We get many requests for small wedding ceremonies and functions. Unfortunately, the property is not properly permitted or insured to host such events. Consequently, we only “sell” the house for accommodation for eight persons in the Main House and four persons in the Manager’s Cottage and not as a venue for parties or functions.
Though we have no close neighbors, we still have issues that would need to be addressed in order to host weddings or functions. The Yarra Ranges Council actually prohibits holiday rentals for larger groups and special permits and licensing are required to host functions.
If you are still looking for somewhere to host a function, here’s a few websites with some of the “bigger” wedding locations around the Yarra Valley and some smaller ones too; http://www.weddingyarravalley.com.au http://yarravalleywedding.com.au/category/wedding-venues/ http://www.easyweddings.com.au/WeddingVenues/YarraValley/
You can also consider two of our adjoining neighbors, Hanrahan Estate, http://hanrahan.com.au with a large “barn style” setting, with lot’s of outdoor seating and offering a “bring your own BarBQ”. Riverstone Estate, who often host “Marquee Weddings”, have a restaurant, accommodation on site, balcony where they often have live music and best of all…… both have the same view. http://theriverstoneestate.com.au
