Our indoor areas stay comfortable year-round with heating and cooling, so you and your guests can focus on celebrating no matter what the weather decides to do.

Every couple is different, and we get that. Whether you want just the venue to style yourselves or need everything taken care of with our all-inclusive options, we'll work with what suits you and your budget. Our team will sit down with you to figure out exactly what you want for your day and make it happen. No cookie-cutter weddings here – just your celebration, your way.
Supportive And Professional Staff
Our team is here to help make your day run smoothly and we're always available to answer any questions that come up. We work with some really talented local vendors who we trust and can recommend if you need them, but you're also welcome to bring your own suppliers.

"From start to finish we can't thank El and the team enough. From providing any and all information regarding wedding packages to setting up and organisation on the day. We found El to be very well organised, providing plenty of time and following up to see how we were going with making decisions and providing thorough answers to any questions or queries we had. The food, photographer and all the staff on the day were simply magnificent. They couldn't have provided a better experience for our day. From the accommodation to the function space and the spacious new gazebo, nothing was out of place. A spectacular venue for a wedding of any size."s.

"Our wedding was the perfect day and El and Keith at Leonards Hill Estate were a significant contribution to our success. We wanted somewhere with a beautiful outlook and everything in the one place. Leonards Hill Estate was perfect. Our photos have the most beautiful background and views. El is brilliant to coordinate with and couldn’t do enough for us. The cottage on site is the added bonus which made our night of the wedding so much more comfortable. Parents with young babies could utilise it and be comfortable as well as bride and groom staying there overnight. We wish we could do it all over again.

"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 smoothly, 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!"

"We recently got married out at Leonards Hill Estate and it could not have been more perfect. From the first enquiry right up until the last dance, El and her team out at the estate were absolutely phenomenal. El really puts her absolute heart and soul into her work and it truly shows. They have a range of packages to choose from and she was happy to tweak them to suit our budget but still fulfill our visions of the day. One of the highlights of the estate was that we could have everyone we loved there to share our day with us even our dog!"

"We had the most perfect wedding day at Leonards Hill Estate with the help of El and her husband Keith. We booked the venue 15 months out and El was extremely responsive and so helpful the entire time, whenever I had a question no matter how big or small, El was ready with an answer almost straight away. They were extremely flexible in working with us to make sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted and even let us come down to venue the day before and spend a couple of hours there setting up our DIY items. El also put us in touch with a caterer which was a great help as we are from the other side of Victoria and didn’t have a lot of knowledge of local vendors, the food was amazing and complimented by all of our guests. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice. Thank you El!!"

Wedding Packages
We put together these wedding packages because we know every couple is different and has their own story to tell. Some of you want to be hands-on with everything, while others prefer to have it all sorted for you. We love working with both approaches – we've designed our packages to make your wedding day feel effortless and exactly like you, so you can focus on what really matters.
