OVERVIEW

If you’d like to be treated like royalty on your wedding day, there’s no more luxurious place than Canberra’s latest wedding venue, The Marion. This brand new wedding venue is the epitome of opulence, with everything from the premium catering to the elegant design conveying lavish grandeur. Modern but regal, The Marion’s impeccable design has been thoughtfully planned out, and makes the most of the beautiful lakeside location

The venue itself is perched right on the water’s edge, with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing a breathtaking view of Lake Burley Griffin. This glorious water view can also be enjoyed from the main dining room; an elevated, classic room with foliage, expansive windows, and a warm, neutral colour theme. This enchanting room can comfortably facilitate seated receptions of up to 160 people, and will look especially lovely when paired with formal, classic, or romantic wedding themes.

Regardless of your chosen wedding theme, your guests will be privy to some delectable catering. A part of the Grand Pacific Group - a chain practically synonymous with delicious wedding menus, The Marion offers a wide-ranging selection of exquisite dishes, each of which is full of innovative flavours and plated beautifully. Choosing just one or two items off this impressive menu will be a fun task.

The Marion is such a beautiful venue and we were so happy with everything! We had both our ceremony and reception there. Jana was our coordinator and she was very helpful and lovely to deal with. The food was soo delicious and the staff on the night were friendly, accommodating and made our night run so smoothly. Would definitely recommend this venue for any event!

We celebrated our wedding at the Marion in September this year and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. All the staff were incredible to work with both prior to the wedding and on the big day, keeping us constantly informed and involved in the process. We had our ceremony on site and the photos of the surrounds are absolutely stunning. Everything about the experience was beyond what I ever dreamed of and I couldn’t recommend this venue more highly.

Simply the best! We chose the Marion for our ceremony and reception before construction was completed. Once finished we were taken on a tour and completely blow away by the decor, views and architecture . Jana who managed our wedding from on start to finish was fabulous, kept in touch well and was so helpful with arranging tweeking of the menu. On the day when I walked in before heading down the the ceremony I had a yessss moment as everything was just as I’d imagined. During the reception the Marion worked with our MC to make sure the day was amazing and helped make decisions so myself and the groom didn’t have to. Best location, best venue, 5 mins from city but you feel as if you’re somewhere exotic!

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect setting for our wedding day than The Marion in Canberra. From the moment we arrived, the stunning lakeside views and elegant interiors created the dreamiest atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for our celebration. The staff at The Marion went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless—every detail was taken care of with warmth and professionalism, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day. The venue's beauty speaks for itself, but what truly made The Marion exceptional was the way they made us and our guests feel so welcome and cared for. The food was absolutely exquisite, and the team ensured that every moment from the ceremony to the reception flowed seamlessly. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here, The Marion made it an unforgettable experience for us and everyone who shared in our special day. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, breathtaking views, and incredible service, we wholeheartedly recommend The Marion. It was everything we dreamed of and more. The Boyts
