Wedding Reception Venues in Werribee

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Three Werribee receptions, three moods: a winery, a club ballroom and a nursery after dark. Shadowfax Winery seats up to 115 in its reception area, Italian Sports Club of Werribee fits 300 at tables in its ballroom, and The Garden Feast takes 60 to 120 with the venue to yourselves.

Each runs its own kitchen, so the menu comes with the room.

Choosing by the kind of wedding day:

Photos among gardens before dinner – Shadowfax sits in the Werribee Park grounds beside the mansion and formal rose gardens, and guests can start on its lawns.
A big dance floor – the Sala Roma has parquetry, a modular stage and a full bar, with club packages from $39 per person.
Rustic and plant-filled – The Garden Feast's shed has metal beams hung with plants, a cathedral ceiling and a fairy-lit branch, from $3,500 minimum spend with no venue hire fee.
A wine-matched seated dinner – Shadowfax can go up to a plated, wine-matched menu, from $79 per person.
Guests serving themselves – The Garden Feast lays its feasting buffet down a central table.

Timings differ between them. Evening receptions at The Garden Feast run for four hours from 6pm at the earliest, while the club's dinners run for five hours.

Pre-dinner drinks can spill onto The Garden Feast's festoon-lit terrace or the Shadowfax lawns.
For the speeches, the club hands over a cordless microphone with its sit-down packages, and The Garden Feast has a projector, screen and microphone to hire.
