The Dandenong Ranges is a place of romance, hills hideaways and wedding venues. - it is also my home.

I’ve been lucky enough to be a Wedding and Elopement Celebrant in the Dandenong Ranges for 17 years now - and it is my favourite place to work. I love the history of the place! People have travelled from all over the world to celebrate weddings here for decades and thousands of couples just keep coming back here to get married. Why here you ask? Because it is timeless!

There are a lot of Wedding Venues in the Dandenong Ranges and the charm is in the history of these venues. Think old rustic buildings, cute cottages and cozy fireplaces. Not only are the buildings amazing but the surroundings lead to so many photo opportunities in the Dandenong Ranges, that’s why you have to make sure you hire an amazing Wedding Photographer in the Dandenong Ranges - but more about that later.

Let’s look at Wedding Venues in the Dandenong Ranges, with so many to choose from my top 5 are-

Poets Lane, Sherbrooke - I have been a Celebrant for weddings here over 100 times and I can honestly say it is the amazing staff that keeps couples coming back again and again. They are simply the nicest people who can’t do enough to help you. Oh and the GARDENS ARE AMAZING!

Nathania Springs, Monbulk - As a Wedding Celebrant working here, the thing that takes my breath away every single time is the divine reception room - it’s bright, airy and elegant!

Tatra, Mt Dandenong - Going to the Chapel and we’re gonna get maaaa-aaa-aaa-ried. Yep, its all about the Chapel here! Its HUGE and the view is divine!

B and B’s - The options to elope in the Dandenongs is endless, I have helped so many couples elope at gorgeous Bed and Breakfast’s, Air BnBs and Rental homes and the result is always a delight! Someplaces have even created tiny elopement packages for couples in the Dandenong Ranges and in the tourist havens like Olinda, Kallista, Monbulk and Belgrave. The most popular is of course accomodation based around Olinda Falls, Sherbrooke Forest, Skyhigh, Sassafras or Mt Dandenong, as you can elope at one of these delightful backdrops and have your hired house as a great backup should the weather turn.

Alfred Nicholas Gardens - An amazing elopement option in the Dandenong Ranges, these gardens make the most amazing photos I have ever seen, a huge lake, boathouse, islands, ducks and tall timbers, there’s something magical about being a Celebrant for weddings here.
