About

Overview & Vibe

Quat Quatta is Ripponlea’s grand Victorian mansion turned modern celebration house — over 50 years of weddings behind its arched doors, and a Restaurant & Catering Hall of Fame kitchen within. Heritage architecture, hedged gardens and neon-lit ivy walls give it a rare old-meets-new Melbourne glamour.

Setting & Style

Ceremonies unfold in the hedged gardens or the bluestone courtyard beneath festoon lights, with elegant interior spaces designed for weather backup. Receptions flex from candlelit formal dining under ornate plaster arches to cocktail parties spilling through the mansion — high tables, long tables, earthy or classic, all styles welcome, for 50 to 170 seated or 250 cocktail-style.

Ideal For

Couples who want heritage-mansion romance with contemporary style flexibility — garden ceremony, courtyard cocktails and mansion reception on one estate near the city.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Capacity: 50-170 seated or up to 250 cocktail-style.
  • On-site ceremonies in the hedged gardens and bluestone courtyard, with impressive interior spaces as wet-weather backup.
  • Cocktail, shared or formal dining — or a mix — from the Hall of Fame in-house kitchen with fresh, seasonal menus.
  • Bridal room on-site; green walls, festoon lights and classic architecture for photos throughout.

Standout Feature

The mansion’s transformation trick: Victorian grandeur styled to feel earthy, funky or classic — whatever your wedding calls for — minutes from St Kilda and the CBD.
