It's Time to Say I Do (Finally

Annissa White Boasting sublime settings, an abundance of accommodation with fine food and wine aplenty, it's no surprise that the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region is seriously sought after when it comes to ultimate wedding venues.

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the region plays host to a variety of venues that cater for celebrations ranging from quaint elopements to wed-festivals and black-tie banquets.

Now that the festive season is just around the corner, so too are many proposals. With the warmer months ahead, we can't help but daydream about sunny afternoons and balmy nights celebrating loved ones and special occasions together once more. With that in mind, here's a wrap up of some of our region's most in-demand wedding venues to get you excited and inspired for hosting a soirée in the new year or beyond.

LAKE HOUSE Say I do at one of Australia’s most awarded and romantic boutique hotels, best known for its beautiful lakeside location, two-hatted destination restaurant, awardwinning cellar and impeccable service.

THE BURROW Nestled into the Wombat State Forest, The Burrow is a stone’s throw away from Daylesford. The events space is a contemporary take on a barn-style venue. The mini paddock is a clearing lit with festoon lights and bordered by peppermint trees - a perfect location for your ceremony.

ACRE OF ROSES A spellbinding flower-filled getaway retreat, Acre of Roses is perfect for elopements, vow renewals, intimate weddings and mini honeymoons. The lush botanic setting is beautiful in all seasons; from frosty dawns in winter to perfumed blossom in spring, from falling leaves in autumn to vibrant pink sunsets in summer.

LANCEMORE MACEDON RANGES Set in a picture-perfect location, Lancemore Macedon Ranges is the ultimate all in one wedding venue. With indoor and outdoor spaces for both ceremonies and receptions with breathtaking locations for photography all on-site, this venue has everything you need – including a beautifully appointed bridal suite and guest rooms for all.

MOUNT MACEDON WINERY Located within the heart of Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, Mount Macedon Winery is the ideal location for those looking for a rustic wedding in a beautiful country location.
