Wedding Reception Venues in Sassafras

Vows under a white arch framed by tree ferns, then a short walk inside to a dining room styled like an English conservatory – that is the shape of a Fortnums wedding. The family-run restaurant at 395 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road hosts receptions for 45 to 100 guests.

Ceremonies in the garden usually begin from 4:30pm, and they move indoors if the weather turns.

What the day can include at Fortnums:

• Ceremony – the garden setting under the white arch, with an indoor fallback on wet days
• Reception room – tall arched windows, small chandeliers and plenty of natural light for 45 to 100 seated or mingling guests
• Fresh air between courses – an outdoor deck looking out over the ranges
• Reception style – a four-course meal, a cocktail or grazing reception, or a buffet high tea, with soft drinks, tea and coffee in the package
• A smaller wedding – the private Garden Room hosts daytime elopement weddings for 15 to 30

Every dish is cooked on site from local produce, and a function coordinator plans the booking with you. Send an enquiry to discuss menus and check your date.
