lancemore macedon ranges weddings
If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels like a weekend escape—vineyards, rolling hills, and a hotel that unfolds like a country estate - Lancemore Macedon Ranges is your kind of place. Tucked into 274 acres of gardens, vineyards, native bushland, and farmland just over an hour from Melbourne, this property is the perfect backdrop for a celebration that flows from ceremony to long table and late-night bonfires.
The Spaces at Lancemore Macedon Ranges
Your ceremony. Your dinner. Your dance floor. Your weekend.
Lancemore Macedon Ranges isn’t just one beautiful space—it’s a whole experience, thoughtfully designed to let your wedding unfold in a way that feels relaxed, intimate, and personal. Whether you’re imagining a sun-drenched outdoor ceremony under the trees, a garden moment with just your favourites, or a long dinner as the sun sets over the hills—this venue gives you options.
Let’s break down the three key areas you’ll fall in love with:
The Elm Tree
Big, dramatic, full of feeling.
This is where you let the landscape do the talking. The Elm Tree is one of the most iconic ceremony backdrops at Lancemore Macedon Ranges—grand and open, surrounded by sweeping views and a sense of space that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. The tree itself is huge, full of character, and adds a timelessness to your vows that somehow makes the moment feel even bigger.
Whether you’re planning on 30 guests or 130, this space can hold it. There’s room for arched chairs, florals, and a long aisle if you want it—but also plenty of raw beauty if you’d rather keep it simple.
And the best part? It photographs like a dream. Sunlight through the branches, big sky behind you, and enough depth in the space to frame every angle perfectly.
The Secret Garden
Intimate. Quiet. Tucked away in all the best ways.
For couples wanting a little more privacy or something that feels like it’s just for them, the Secret Garden is exactly that—a hidden little pocket of the estate that offers a beautifully intimate ceremony space. It’s framed by manicured hedges and trees, soft underfoot, and a little more shaded and enclosed than the Elm Tree.
It’s ideal for those wanting an outdoor ceremony without feeling too exposed, and it carries this really gentle, romantic tone—like a secret you’re letting your favourite people in on.
It’s also a great Plan A and Plan B: weather looking a bit moody? This spot still works. Bring in some umbrellas and it still looks dreamy in photos.
The Dining Room
Warm, modern, and made for long table dinners and even longer parties.
After you’ve said your vows and wandered the paddocks and vines for photos, it’s time to head inside—and this space is the heart of your reception. The Dining Room is open, light-filled, and framed by big windows that look out over the countryside. Think vineyard views, soft indoor lighting, and a clean modern feel that you can style up or leave beautifully minimal.
It fits up to 150 seated guests and flows naturally into an outdoor courtyard, so you’ve got that inside-outside feel that keeps everything connected. The team at Lancemore are legends at crafting a night that’s full of energy but never rushed—cocktails in the courtyard, wine at the table, a heartfelt speech or five, and a packed dancefloor once the lights go down.
It also has the best golden-hour glow. Just trust me—step out for 10 minutes during sunset, it’ll be your favourite photos of the day.
