• The venue package is separate from and additional to the per-head catering, and is published for two years: 'Wedding Venue Package 2027 - $7,710' and 'Wedding Venue Package 2028 - $8,000'. Described as 'Everything you need for your ceremony and reception'.
• Beverage packages are a third separate line: 'House Package - $85 per person (beer, wine, soft drinks)'; a 'Locals Package' at a figure not captured '(local wines, beers & soft drinks - excludes spirits)'; and 'Top Tier Package - $105 per person (same as locals package + sparkling wine)'. A spirits upgrade is '$33pp'.
• So the real cost is three layers: venue package + catering per head + beverage per head. A 2027 wedding at the cheapest options is $7,710 + $103pp + $85pp before any extras. The per-head figure alone would badly understate it.
• Minimum guest numbers are seasonal and off-peak is discounted: 'Minimum Guest Numbers. Peak season (September to April): 80 guests. Off-peak (May to August): 70 guests, plus 10% off venue.' The enquiry form repeats it: 'Minimum 80 guests for peak season and 70 for off-peak bookings.'
• Dietary requirements cost extra — the inclusions state "All dietary requirements catered for - additional cost applies", and the package builder prices a dietary supplement at $19 per person. No specific diets are named.
• The 1am licence is an extra: the venue advertises '1am Licence (additional cost)' among its headline features. It is one of the few Yarra Valley venues able to run to 1am, but the licence is not included in the package.
• Other itemised add-ons, 2027: Kids' meals '1 Course - $25pp, 2 Courses - $30pp'; 'Include vendor meals - $45pp'; 'Edible Forest Inspired Grazing Table - $20pp'; 'Mediterranean Mezze Table - $19pp'; 'Champagne Hour - $50pp (Veuve Clicquot)'; 'Vintage Premium Sparkling - $28pp (De Bortoli)'; 'Cocktail Hour - $20pp (handcrafted cocktails)'; 'Whisky or Gin Bar - $39 pp (4 distinctive selections)'. 2028 kids' meals run '1 Course - $24pp, 2 Courses - $30pp, 3 Courses - $42pp'.
• BYO catering is allowed but charged: 'BYO Catering Setup - Caterer using food truck ($150 + $10pp); Caterer using YVE kitchen ($2,000)'.
• What the venue package includes, verbatim: 'Choice of ceremony site: Air Chapel, Wetlands, Window-Front or Sculpture Gardens. Wedding specialist to assist with planning and coordination on the day. Venue hire and use of the property across 120 acres of grounds, gardens and native forest. Local beverage packages tailored to every couple. Cutlery, crockery, glassware. Rustic Pallet wall, Wine barrels and rustic, country backdrops. All dietary requirements catered for - additional cost applies. Large lawn and bar area for pre-dinner drinks & canapes, set with games. In-House fairy lights and dance floor lighting in the main reception hall and bar at no extra charge. Onsite Parking and accommodation for your guests. Large dance floor, alfresco and out door seating areas, with multiple reception site opportunities.' Plus 'Exclusive use of the Reception Hall. Tables and chairs. Lounge furniture. Fairy lights. Table set-up, excluding decor.'
• Accommodation caps below the reception capacity. 48 rooms sleep 96, but the hall seats 150 and holds 180 standing - so a full-capacity wedding cannot all stay on site. Worth planning transport for the balance.
• The venue is dog-friendly and markets itself on sustainability - 'Victoria's Premiere Sustainable Wedding Venue', 'Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Setting' - alongside '30+ Years of Exceptional Events' and a '4.7 on Google' rating it displays itself.
• Worth asking about: the venue says you choose your ceremony spot from three options, indoor or outdoor, while its inclusions list names four — the Air Chapel, Wetlands, Window-Front and Sculpture Gardens.
• All of the above is published directly on the venue's own pages and its interactive enquiry builder, and is current for both 2027 and 2028.

• From $103 p/head
