Weddings

Villa Verde, a privately owned garden, invites you to spend one of the most memorable moments of your lives amongst the grandeur of its landscape. Only 25 minutes north of the Melbourne CBD and only 5 minutes from the Melbourne International Airport. Villa Verde Gardens does not disappoint with its formal and informal settings that create a peaceful and tranquil ambience.

The elegantly dressed rotunda offers a focal point for your intimate ceremony and is furnished with the beauty and delicacy of an exquisite bridal registry table and bridal chairs for the special couple.

Following the wedding ceremony, guests are welcome to meander through the front gardens while memories are captured. Villa Verde Gardens offers numerous picturesque backdrops throughout the garden for all photographic opportunities. Choose from the lookout by the lake, amongst the Japanese Garden, Rocky's vineyard, the tree lined driveway or on the rustic horse drawn cart. And, if you time your wedding well, great shots can be taken in a romantic explosion of pink blossoms found in Blossom Avenue.

We welcome all enquires and look forward to helping you with all of your wedding needs.

Our aim is to ensure that your day is exactly as you had imagined it...perfect!
