Wedding Reception Venues in Mornington & Mount Martha

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Four very different wedding settings fall within this region. A rose garden chapel on Bungower Road and a harbour restaurant at Schnapper Point sit in Mornington itself, and Dromana Estate's homestead and stables are out at Tuerong.

For couples who want to run everything themselves, The Nook offers a bare room and a courtyard to style.

Weighing up the four:

Dalywaters Rose Garden & Chapel – a white weatherboard chapel among more than 3,000 roses, with a skylit reception room seating 80 and one wedding booked a day
Dromana Estate – ceremonies beneath a 100-year-old weeping elm or in the vineyard, then The Stables for up to 140 seated
The Rocks Mornington – a seated reception or canapés on the covered deck over the harbour, for up to 130 seated, with set menus from $85 per person
The Nook – ceremonies for up to 60 in a light-filled warehouse room, with BYO catering and drinks, from $500 room hire
Big guest lists – a standing reception for 200 fits in Dromana Estate's Stables, and the estate can add a marquee or tipi outdoors

Send an enquiry to arrange a viewing; Dalywaters Rose Garden & Chapel and Dromana Estate both show couples around.
