About

Tucked behind an avenue of old oak trees, the sanctuary of Mewburn Park is your wedding venue with the most iconic driveway entrance, lush green gardens, heritage 1850’s Stables, tranquil walkways, and ponds oozing serenity. Positioned on a 400-acre private property - it’s all set with everything you need for a perfect & relaxed wedding! Get ready in our spacious and dreamy Day Suite, have your ceremony and cocktail hour anywhere in the gardens or in front of the historic Stables, celebrate your reception with our modern 25m clear-view marquee with polished concrete flooring, and retreat for the night to secluded The Lakehouse once everyone has left.

Let Mewburn Park spoil your guests with our extensive beverage package with all the essentials included. For catering, you are spoiled for choice with some of Gippsland’s best caterers, all offering a delicious menu of gourmet food. Using one of Mewburn Park’s recommended caterers guarantees you and your guests a seamless night with amazing quality and attentive service for you and your guests.

Our wedding packages offer unique experiences for anywhere between 50-130 guests. Extensions can be applied for on request for up to 170 guests. Mewburn Park can also cater for micro weddings under 50 - please reach out for more information on this.

The Day Suite

Check-in to your Suite for the day and enjoy free flowing drinks and bite sized snacks. Prepare for your ceremony with plenty of space; the sun filled dressing lounge, living room and dining area, kitchen and modern bathroom once opening the gorgeous old french doors.

Ceremony & Cocktail Hour

The established gardens at the front of the Homestead offer a botanical garden vibe for ceremonies and after ceremony drinks. Choose from the old tennis court, tranquil ponds or the huge oak trees for your unique ceremony location. Drinks and canapés will also be served here for your guests, while you roam the property with your wedding party and photographer.

Mewburn Park’s iconic brick Stables and surrounding gardens offer another beautiful backdrop for ceremonies in the courtyard. Draped in festoon lights, this space helps create a unique experience for all guests whilst enjoying a drink from the old rustic Stables bar.

Completely protected from the elements, the Farmer's shed offers a unique space with its herringbone brick floor, old wooden beams and rustic tin panelling. A comfortable space for uptown 130 guests for both ceremony and cocktail hour.

Reception time

Make your way into the stunning clear view marquee; where you can take in the ‘farm charm’ that surrounds and the stars from above. The 25 x 10 metre marquee is your blank canvas to create your dream wedding look and offers plenty of space for a sit-down evening or a relaxed cocktail party with the setup of tables, chairs and festoon/ferry lights all included. The marquee comes with a polished concrete floor, plenty of power for entertainment, electric heaters, fans and a large deck with bar tables and chairs.

The marquee comfortable fits up to 130 guests seated, with the option to increase the capacity up to 170 guests on request. And having your venue coordinator all day and night, whatever the weather brings you have someone making sure the marquee is comfortable in rain or heat.

Stay

Retreat to The Lakehouse once you’ve partied the night away with your crew. The Lakehouse is a 1 bedroom cabin with a bathroom, kitchen and lounge area, featuring a stunning deck with an outdoor bathtub looking over the pond. Waking up to breakfast on the still waters of our pond, with birds tweeting and sunshine in your faces, is there a better way to start your marriage?!

More about the venue team

Julia & Adam Vardy, owners and operators of Mewburn Park Weddings and Events. Our very own love story started when we met through our careers in graphic design. We soon realised that our shared passion and expertise for events, hospitality and design

all lead to our dream life of running an exceptional Wedding and Events venue. So, in 2016, we moved back from Europe to Adam’s family estate and through hard work, careful planning and an absolute LOVE of weddings, we were able to execute our dream

and make Mewburn Park what it is today.

In the early years, the Homestead was always connected with the community of Maffra, with its pine tree lined golf course, tennis court, Sunday school sessions and Church services. Now Mewburn Park Homestead is again connecting to the local community through festivities and events, and broadening it’s exposure to the rest of Victoria. A beautiful mix of rustic farm charm with a modern twist.

Our reputation for personal service and a little “farm-charm”, makes us the choice for your wedding day, with everything you need all in one place. We are here every step of the way to make your dream wedding day become reality.
