Cadella Park

Looking for a property with elegant sophistication? But also that warm country vibe that’s quintessentially Australian? You’ve found it in this historic farm.

Cadella Park is a circa 1845 property located in one of the oldest settled areas in the verdant Macedon Ranges. It’s an easy 50 minute drive from Melbourne but with ample local accommodation nearby. Guests enter along a drive bordered by majestic elms. A giant cypress tree provides the backdrop for the ceremony itself with country fields and grazing animals glimpsed beyond.

Prunella, creators of the beautiful Churchill in Taradale, have combined rustic European decadence with a distinctly local aesthetic, designing another beautiful and flexible event space. The jewel in the crown is an inspiring renovated hay shed that’s more than a century old. This celebration space is set amid rolling farmland, hemmed by manicured hedges and stately post-and-rail wooden fences – from beyond which the odd neigh or moo floats across the paddock.

An old dairy has been converted into an outdoor bar where guests relax and mingle with drinks and canapés in the dappled shade of 15-metre tall pin oaks. The sun sets behind a grove of poplars, flecking the landscape with gold as the air cools.

The reception takes place in the Hay Barn – a generous open space, lit by artisan-made Baroque lanterns. It is the heart of the Cadella Park experience, with plenty of room for seated dining, to graze, feast, or lounge before getting up to dance the night away on mediterranean style terracotta concrete floors, fuelled by a six-metre long bar in front of an original stone facade.

Your unique event will be personally designed to best reflect your individuality. Imagine yourself and your guests meandering through Cadella Park’s luxuriant grounds and historic, rural spaces, with every element planned in detail so you’re left to relax and enjoy this incredible life moment. We’d love to make this a reality.

Prunella bring to Cadella Park their highly experienced team so you can expect professional bar and wait staff, generous, flavourful catering by Spoonful, a delicious drinks list concocted by local wine guru Scott Banks and Prunella’s signature styling and lush botanicals. All elements that have made Churchill such a success.

The Prunella team laid their roots in the floristry space and are known as one of Australia’s most creative floral designers. Their creative flair and eye for detail led them to setting up their own boutique wedding venues for modern couples that appreciate sharing good, authentic times in beautiful spaces.
