First things first…
I know, I know. You’re stuck weighing the pros and cons of an outdoor wedding in Victoria. After all, it’s a bit of a trek from Melbourne (but hellooooo, the perfect excuse for a staycay!). Though the countryside offers picturesque bliss with seemingly endless rolling hills. Plus, the kind of serenity city life just cannot compete with.
Personally? After attending a whole lot of outdoor wedding venues Victoria is home to, there are a few standouts for star-studded nights. It’s high time I let the secrets free – with the best outdoor wedding venues Victoria has to offer.
So, let’s think outside the box… or more so, outside the city! *wink wink* with exactly how to take your wedding to the countryside.
Your ceremony is a super important part of your wedding! So, you’re going to want something *extra* special if it’s hosted outdoors. With a romantic ceremony in regional Victoria, you’re in for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Let me paint the picture: View the breathtaking *magic* of the Dayleford’s hinterlands from the altar. Exchange rings within the sprawling vines of the nearby wineries. Breathe in the sweet aromas of the colourful flora adorning the local botanical gardens.
Of course, we still have the after party…
Exchange city lights for starry nights and make your Victorian outdoor wedding reception shine!
Pop Champers in the secluded privacy of a gardenside pavilion. Enjoy a full-course meal with the breathtaking lakeside views as your backdrop. Bust a move to the sound of the DJ mingling with the cackling kookaburras. Bliss!

Hi there, I work for a Darraweit Valley Cider House and we are looking to improve our presence on Social Media with some better content for our weddings. Most of this is done in house at the moment and not yielding very strong results despite having a great product, in a desirable location at a great price too.
Our couples that have booked weddings, have always been extremely happy so we are really just looking to take things to the next level to generate more business.
Im looking for an Influencer in the area / Social Media whizz that can help create some amazing reels either at our next open day / or wedding and hopefully generate some more interest and leads. Is this something you can help with? I noticed you’ve worked with some our competition like Lancemore and Macedon Winery so guessed it would make sense to reach out.
Feel free to give me a call on my mobile/ email back.

Cheers,
Jon
