Top 10 venues for a farm wedding in Victoria

Looking for the ideal wedding reception venue is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And if you are looking for a Victorian farm wedding venue, then you are probably looking out for the ideal haystack more than a needle. And perhaps you are also looking for a barn, some friendly animals, and some awesome rustic photo opportunities as well.

Let’s keep imagining. As well as the haystack, let’s throw in a romantic spot for your ceremony, a first-class dining room lit with fairylights or under the stars, champagne flowing, delicious food, a tender first dance together and all of your family and friends. Have we left anything out?

If you are dreaming about a farm setting for your perfect wedding day, Victoria has some of the most incredible reception venues to choose from. From intimate gatherings to festive extravaganzas, our couples planning their weddings are blessed with a treasure trove of choice.

One of these venues will take you back in time to the 1850s, while another will display an incredible view of the Macedon ranges as you sip on wine that even the best sommeliers rave about.

For the very best haystacks, barns, animals and more, see our list below.
