Nestled on the edge of the majestic Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges, Marybrooke Manor is one of Melbourne’s most romantic all-in-one wedding destinations. This magnificent National Trust–listed property combines timeless elegance with modern comfort, offering everything you need for a seamless celebration. From ceremony to reception and accommodation, Marybrooke provides a luxurious, stress-free experience surrounded by stunning forest scenery.
Built in 1940, Marybrooke began as the grandest guesthouse in a chain of six heritage properties. Today, it has been beautifully restored to reflect its original charm and sophistication while providing the convenience and service couples expect for their wedding day. The eight-acre estate features manicured gardens, a picturesque gazebo lawn, and a heritage drawing room for timeless wedding photography.
Couples can exchange vows outdoors beneath the forest canopy or inside the elegant indoor ceremony space with garden views — a perfect backup in any weather. The reception room overlooks the landscaped gardens and includes a large dance floor, flexible seating, and romantic lighting. Pre-dinner drinks and canapés can be served in the Wine Garden or the intimate indoor bar. With exclusive venue hire, your wedding is truly yours, and the dedicated team ensures every detail runs smoothly from start to finish.
“We got married in May 2025, and it was an absolutely stunning wedding venue! Andrew, Deborah, and all the staff were so professional and easy to work with. The food was delicious, and the servings were huge — no one went hungry that night! It was such a blast. Thank you so much to Andrew, Deborah, and the whole Marybrooke Manor team.” — Danna A.
