Marybrooke Manor

Tucked away on the edge of the magical Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges, about 50 minutes from Melbourne, Marybrooke Manor is one of the region’s most enchanting forest wedding and event venues. Built in 1940 as a Tudor-revival guesthouse and now National Trust listed, the manor is hand-fitted with English oak beams and stone fireplaces, surrounded by eight private acres of towering mountain ash and manicured gardens.

As one of the longest-standing wedding venues in the Dandenong Ranges, Marybrooke offers exclusive use of the entire estate on your wedding day, with ceremony, reception, photos and accommodation all in one place. It’s equally popular for corporate conferences, retreats and private celebrations.

Marybrooke Manor can host the following events:

• Chapel and garden wedding ceremonies
• Wedding receptions for up to 110 guests
• Micro weddings for 25 to 40 guests
• Cultural and multicultural weddings
• Engagement parties and birthdays
• Conferences, board meetings and training sessions
• Multi-day corporate retreats
• High teas

What you’ll love about Marybrooke Manor as your event venue:

• A true forest setting. Exchange vows in the heritage chapel or on the gazebo lawn beneath century-old trees, then capture photos throughout the gardens, forest edges and heritage drawing room.
• All-inclusive wedding packages. The signature Manor Package includes a five-hour celebration with ceremony, canapés, three courses, beverages, décor and bridal lounge access. The Heritage Package adds an extra hour, personalised styling, seasonal florals and overnight accommodation, while the Micro Wedding Package caters beautifully to intimate celebrations.
• Stay the night. With around 20 boutique guest rooms onsite, couples and guests can relax before and after the celebration and enjoy breakfast the next morning, turning your wedding into a destination-style experience close to Melbourne.
• A distraction-free corporate retreat. Bespoke conference packages combine flexible meeting room hire with onsite accommodation and catering for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and high teas, while the forest grounds are perfect for breaks, team photos and networking.
• No minimum guest numbers. Instead of strict guest minimums, Marybrooke works on a minimum spend, giving couples the flexibility to design a wedding that suits their budget and vision.
