The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your Dream Wedding in Daylesford

Why Daylesford Is the Perfect Place to Say “I Do”

If you’ve been scrolling through Daylesford wedding venues and wondering which one feels right for you, here’s why so many couples choose this part of Victoria. Just 80 minutes from Melbourne, Daylesford has that rare mix of relaxed country atmosphere, seasonal beauty, and incredible food and wine.

At Leonards Hill Estate, you get all of that in one place — with open green spaces, thoughtfully designed reception areas, and on-site accommodation. Whether you’re planning a big celebration or keeping things smaller, it’s the kind of setting that lets you relax, be present, and actually enjoy your wedding day.

Ceremonies Surrounded by Nature

If you’re picturing a garden outdoor ceremony, we’ve got two settings that couples love:

• The Grand Tree – A striking, open-air spot with sweeping branches overhead and wide country views.

• The Courtyard Garden – A green, sheltered space that feels private and welcoming.

We’ll work with you (and your stylist, if you have one) to make the space look the way you’ve imagined — from minimal and modern to lush and floral.

Reception Spaces Designed for Celebrating

After your ceremony, you can move straight into a reception space that suits your style.

• The Shed – A spacious, light-filled venue with high ceilings and a fully serviced bar, perfect for up to 128 seated guests or 200 standing.

• The Pavilion (Marquee) – Surrounded by fresh air and garden views, ideal for daytime celebrations.

Both are versatile enough for a relaxed grazing-table party, a formal dinner, or anything in between.

Stay a Little Longer

Why rush your wedding? With our Homestead sleeping up to six people, you can wake up on the property the morning of your wedding, get ready with your closest friends or family, and enjoy a recovery brunch the next day. It turns your wedding from one day into an experience you’ll remember for years.
