Venue Testimonials
We had an amazing wedding reception at the Yarra Valley Lodge. All the staff were very helpful and having the golf buggies to drive around for photos was fun. The food was great, accommodation was excellent. Highly highly recommend it.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Yarra Valley Lodge and it was an absolutely amazing day! I would highly recommend Yarra Valley Lodge as a five-star complete wedding package offering everything from amazing wedding coordinators, beautiful accommodation, a great choice of ceremony and reception locations both indoor and outside, and very friendly and accommodating staff.
Jade U.
Yarra Valley Lodge was a perfect choice for our wedding. We were able to have the ceremony, reception and on-site accommodation (for us and all our guests), yet feel like we were in different locations. The staff were very helpful the whole way. The grounds are just beautiful.
