We know that sinking feeling when you check the weather forecast a week before your wedding. Will it rain during your outdoor ceremony? What if it's too hot for your guests? These concerns keep couples awake at night, and we completely understand why.
At Leonards Hill Estate, we've seen the relief in couples' eyes when they realise their dream outdoor wedding doesn't have to depend on perfect weather. Because let's be honest – Victorian weather has a mind of its own.
Why Weather Worries Are So Real
Victoria's "four seasons in one day" reputation isn't just a saying – it's a reality that affects wedding planning. You've probably heard stories: ceremonies moved indoors at the last minute, guests uncomfortable in unexpected heat, or beautiful outdoor receptions cut short by sudden storms.
These aren't just inconveniences; they're your precious memories at stake. That's why choosing an outdoor wedding venue in Victoria requires more than just a beautiful setting – you need genuine weather flexibility.
How We Help You Sleep Better at Night
Your Ceremony, Protected: Our climate-controlled spaces give you that outdoor feeling with complete weather security. For intimate ceremonies (under 50 guests), our cosy Shed provides full climate control. For larger celebrations (50+ guests), our Pavilion marquee structure offers the perfect backup with gas heating when it's cold and ceiling fans when it's hot. Rain or shine, your vows happen exactly as you've dreamed.
Reception Flexibility: Our climate-controlled Shed handles everything from summer storms to winter winds. With full climate control, your celebration stays elegant and comfortable no matter what the weather brings.

Real Stories from Real Couples
Elise and Rhys experienced firsthand how unpredictable Victorian weather can be. Last August, we made the decision together to move their reception indoors due to the changeable conditions. Here's what they had to say about the experience:
"Leonards Hill Estate was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! From the very beginning the venue manager, El was very welcoming and warm. Throughout the lead up to our big day El was very prompt with her responses and nothing was too hard. On the day our wedding ran so smooth, and the Leonards Hill staff were always checking in to see if we needed anything. We cannot speak more highly of Leonards Hill. If you are looking for a smooth and stress free venue, then this is definitely the venue for you. Absolutely stunning!" – Elise and Rhys
