Lightning Hill Estate

Lightning Hill Estate, nestled in Victoria's Cardinia Shire, offers a choice of locations for a picturesque, rural ceremony that flows seamlessly into your reception. You’ll love the tranquil ambience, the sound of birdsong through the trees, the natural light, and the beautiful gardens, which reflect the love the owners have for the property. Plus, chances are your guests will be treated with a visit or two from curious and adorable native wildlife, including kangaroos!

Lightning Hill Estate’s statement water feature and charming lakeside rotunda make the perfect backdrop for post-ceremony photos. As the ceremony flows into reception and the sky grows darker, the illuminated fountain will be a talking point among your guests with its dramatic streams of water. The cosy wine cellar (complete with a jukebox!) provides a perfect wet-weather reception option, while the deck and surrounding gardens are dotted with wine barrels for a rustic-chic aesthetic. 

Organise your own entertainment and music of choice, or ask Lightning Hill’s friendly and accomodating team for recommendations. As Lightning Hill Estate is a popular space for outdoor live music concerts, the team is well connected with fantastic local wedding bands, as well as caterers and other vendors. With thousands of glittering fairy lights, a decorative love seat, and an abundance of natural beauty, Lightning Hill Estate requires minimal decoration to set the scene for a beautiful wedding.
