Elegant, Picturesque Rippon Lea Estate Weddings

Picture this: sipping cocktails, enjoying canapes, dancing the night away in elaborate ballrooms, and exchanging vows in a National Trust property. Rippon Lea Estate weddings have it all, with a touch of extra class. Situated just 10km from Melbourne in Elsternwick, this grand suburban estate features lawns that stretch on forever, immaculate trees, and even a tranquil lake.

Originally privately owned land stretching back to the 1800s, the National Trust took over ownership in 1972 and has offered weddings and other events since then. For these reasons, and more, Rippon Lea Estate wedding venue is perfect for an unforgettable day and a truly timeless wedding film collection. 


Why Choose Rippon Lea Estate For Your Wedding

Extravagance is the word that comes to mind. With 14 acres of surrounding gardens, you’ll be celebrating your wedding in an environment of both man-made and natural beauty. 

If the weather is playing along, there are many options for outdoor ceremonies in the garden area. There’s scope for intimate celebrations and big gatherings of up to 200 people. The ballroom extends out onto the art deco poolside terrace, for a full taste of luxury.


Best Spots For Wedding Video At Rippon Lea Estate

Bathed in natural light, the picturesque gardens offer plenty of opportunities for portrait photos, and your Rippon Lea Estate wedding film will have a sense of prestige. 

The backdrop of orchids, endless varieties of flowers, and of course the heritage building itself, makes for a striking background to the day’s celebrations. Keep in mind this is a garden wedding venue in Melbourne — indoor options are for receptions only — so your event will require a marquee.

That’s not a complaint or restriction, however. The Grand Ballroom, with its original chandeliers, decadent decoration and high ceilings, provides a scenic location for dinner and evening celebrations and partying. Outdoor ceremonies are suitable for up to 300 people, while receptions cover 160 seated guests or 250 for a cocktail party.

I love to capture raw and emotional modern love stories. The tear in your dad’s eye as you dance together, the secret smile on your flower girl’s face – these are the important moments to eternalise and treasure…
