7 Yarra Valley wedding venues where the vibe is unmatched

The Yarra Valley is world-famous for its delicious wines, but let’s be real: if you’re planning a wedding, you need more than just a decent drop of red. You need a space that knows how to pivot from "sophisticated ceremony" to "absolute dance floor bangers" without breaking a sweat.

We’re lucky enough to have played pretty much every Yarra Valley wedding venue. We know which rooms have the best acoustics, which bars are positioned to keep the energy high, and which venues actually let you turn it up!

If you’re looking for a premium experience that isn’t beige and boring, these seven Yarra Valley icons are the ones we’re always stoked to see on a new wedding enquiry.

Stones of the Yarra Valley

There’s a reason this is the heavy hitter of the region. Between the heritage chapel and the soaring ceilings of the Barn, Stones of the Yarra Valley is a visual spectacular. The vibe here is polished, professional, and runs like a Swiss watch - which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to coordinate 100+ people and a massive party.

The insider track: The scale of The Barn is an acoustic playground. It gives us the room to create a "big room" sound. High ceilings and plenty of wood are a DJ’s dream when it comes to sound. When the sun goes down and those festoon lights hit the old timber, the transition from formal dinner to a packed floor feels completely natural (along with incredibly high-end).

The numbers: This one is strictly for the sit-down lovers. You can host up to 200 guests in the Barn for a seated feast, ensuring everyone has a front-row seat to the speeches (and the inevitable dance floor antics later in a dedicated space).

Zonzo Estate

If your dream wedding involves long tables, (ah-mazing) wood-fired pizza, and a “family get-together” atmosphere, Zonzo Estate is the where it’s at. The venue has created such a fun, cozy and social experience. The layout practically forces your guests to mingle, and once the tables are cleared, the energy in this room is consistently some of the best in the valley.

The insider track: Zonzo is all about the "shared experience." Because the food is served fam-style, your guests are already loud, laughing, and interacting before we even drop the first track. It’s the ultimate environment for an open-format set where we can jump genres and keep everyone from your shy work friends to your wild Uncle Baz on the floor.

The numbers: Whether you want the long-table Italian feast or a stand-up vibe, Zonzo has you covered. They can accommodate up to 130 guests for a sit-down dinner or up to 150 for a cocktail-style party.

Coombe Yarra Valley

Anitra Wells Weddings

Steeped in history (it was the home of Dame Nellie Melba, after all), Coombe offers a level of prestige that’s hard to beat. Behind those famous seven-metre cypress hedges lies a courtyard perfect for bespoke acoustic sets, leading into a refined gallery space for the main event.

The insider track: Coombe is the definition of a "sophisticated party." The acoustics in the restored motor house are crisp and punchy, making it ideal for high-fidelity sound. It’s a venue that demands a curated soundtrack - think chic lounge vibes that evolve into a high-tempo, "black-tie-but-make-it-rowdy" celebration.

The numbers: The Melba Estate is surprisingly versatile. It fits up to 150 guests for a seated event or can open up for a sleek cocktail reception of up to 150 as well, keeping the guest list exclusive and high-end.

The Farm Yarra Valley

Motta Weddings

The Farm feels like a private estate. It’s rustic, intimate, and places a massive emphasis on seasonal produce. Because the space feels so personal, the parties here often feel like the best dinner party you’ve ever been to - right up until the beat drops and the room turns into a club.

The insider track: We love the intimacy at The Farm. There’s no "us and them" feeling between the DJ and the crowd - you’re right in the thick of it! That physical closeness creates an electric atmosphere where the energy of the dance floor feeds directly back to us. It's impossible not to have a good time in this room.

The numbers: Ideal for those mid-sized crews who want to keep it tight. The Farm handles up to 110 guests for a seated dinner or 150 for a cocktail-style bash where the dance floor becomes the focal point.

Inglewood Estate

Tucked away in its own private valley, Inglewood Estate feels like a hidden sanctuary. The stone chapel and the barn (built from old bridge timbers) provides a rugged and elegant feel hat doesn’t scream "themed." DJs need to plug into their own house system for music, which means that they don’t have to lug in heavy speakers.

The insider track: The "secluded" nature of Inglewood means you really feel like you own the valley for the night. Without the restrictions of more public-facing wineries, you can truly lean into a custom lighting setup to transform that rustic wood into a vibrant, modern party space that feels like your own private festival.

The Numbers: The Barn is roomier than it looks! It can seat up to 120 guests comfortably or host a roaring cocktail party for up to 150 people.

Immerse Yarra Valley

Immerse is designed for the couple who wants everything in one spot without the stress. Ceremony, photos, and reception all happen on-site, which means the momentum of the day never stalls. That "all-in-one" convenience means your guests are relaxed and ready to hit the dance floor nice and early.

The insider track: The flow here is elite. Because guests don't have to travel between locations, they stay in "party mode" from the first glass of sparkling to the final track of the night. It allows us to build a musical narrative for the whole day without any "vibe-killing" interruptions.

The numbers: Immerse is a powerhouse for larger groups, catering to up to 170 guests for a sit-down meal or a massive 200 for a cocktail celebration.

Fergusson Winery

Fergusson is a classic for a reason. It’s family-owned and carries a warmth that you don’t always find in the bigger, more commercial places. The permanent dance floor area is well-positioned right near the bar which, as any seasoned DJ knows, is the most important architectural feature of any room.

The insider track: Geography is everything! And Fergusson gets it right. Keeping the bar and the dance floor in the same visual line is the secret weapon for a successful wedding. It ensures the people grabbing a drink still feel like they’re part of the action (even if they don’t have their dancing shoes on), keeping the energy concentrated exactly where it needs to be.

The numbers: Fergusson can host a solid crowd with a capacity of 150 guests for a traditional sit-down setup or up to 200 for those who prefer to keep things moving with a cocktail-style event.
