My husband and I walked into MaryBrooke for the first time and fell in love. It blew the other venues out of the water for us with its atmosphere alone. We wanted a venue with a beautiful indoor option as well in case it rained - which it did! So we’re still thrilled even knowing our ceremony would be in the chapel. MaryBrooke is a one stop shop, offering all services in-house, but are also super accomodating with requests. They have an innovative app to communicate with the co-ordinator, owners and staff at any time that also holds all quotes, receipts, photos etc, so very easy to keep all wedding planning in one place. They have a list of suppliers and Deborah is also a celebrant - who will give you a booklet with a selection of paragraphs to combine to create your personalised ceremony, which was so helpful to us because we had no idea how it was supposed to go! They have accomodation on site for the bride and bridesmaids which is extremely handy however because of the wet weather, the rooms became damp because of something to do with the materials inside the building, which was our bad luck at the time. There is also accomodation a couple of houses down for the groom and groomsmen and is a gorgeous place to take photos, however due to the wet weather it became flooded during our wedding reception. The staff were excellent at finding space quickly for the family that had booked the cottage for the night of the wedding within the rooms that were booked by our other family and friends, and we were lucky that our guests were happy to share the space. We were also offered a refund for the difference in prices between what the rooms cost. We are told MaryBrooke is also the only venue with a generator, so when our reception blacked out early in the night during the storm - it was only for a few minutes before we were up and running again! All in all the service was above and beyond, the entire process was easy, there was nothing Deborah wouldn’t do for us and we had the time of our lives. Also the food was delicious - we had the cocktail style menu and ordered extra and it still all went quickly - so order a lot!! Thank you so much for the best day of our lives xx

I don’t even know where to begin for this review. They were so lovely all around. First, my wedding date was originally set for 2020 but had to postpone because of the pandemic. Then we had to postpone our 2021 date again, still due to pandemic. Throughout those stressful times, the Marybrooke team was so comforting and very accommodating with our concerns and requests. We were in contact with Deborah for the most part of the planning through their amazing mobile application. She was very responsive every time we had questions. Closer to the wedding we were in contact with Deborah, Adi, and Mikayla and again, loved them. Wedding Day- I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH how amazed I am by the venue. Our day of coordinator was Mikayla and she was the absolute sweetest. She made sure we were on track with the timeline and more importantly, she made sure all the decorations were set where they needed to be. She ensured EVERYTHING was in place. As the bride, I am so happy i did not have to stress about any of these things the day of. Mikayla made sure that me and my husband, my bridal party, and the working guests were well taken care of, fed everything! And checked up on us throughout the night. Keegan, the in-house DJ was such a pro. He was in-charge of both the ceremony and reception music. We did not experience any technical issues, and all our song requests were played in the right timing. Adi was so helpful as well and was prompt in providing our requests. My husband and I can not believe how smooth everything went our wedding day. Our family and friends all drove from Melbourne for our wedding and they all had nothing but amazing things to say. We are so happy we chose Marybrooke Manor to be our venue. We even had some surprise complimentary decorations from them. I can't thank Deborah and team enough for their generosity and kindness. We seriously had an amazing experience with them since choosing them as our venue. Thank you to all the amazing staff. Seriously, big thank you!

We would like to start by thanking Deborah and Adi for the amazing day they helped us create at Marybrooke, the support and guidance from start to finish was spectacular, no matter how many times we messaged them they were always so quick to reply and help make our day so special. Throughout the planning and re planning due to Covid, the support and understanding we received from Deborah was outstanding, she always reached out and supported us throughout it all. Adi was our coordinator for the day, she made sure that the day ran smoothly and dealt with everything that came up, Adi’s attention to detail was incredible, she didn’t miss a thing and made sure both of us and our wedding party were looked after all day/night, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to be there for us. Many years ago we toured multiple venues to see which one would suit us best, as soon as we drove into Marybrooke Manor we had already decided this was the place, what more could you ask for, space for both the ceremony, reception along with accommodation on site, the stunning grounds and building and then we met the staff and that was the cherry on top. Our day was magical and we couldn’t have asked for anything more, the food was spectacular and our guests also loved the whole day/night. From both of us, we really want to thank all of the Marybrooke staff, especially Deborah and Adi for your tireless efforts to make our day so magical, we wouldn’t change a thing! If anyone is in the stages of trying to find a venue, we both highly recommend Marybrooke Manor, you will not be disappointed!

We are incredibly grateful for the support we received throughout the whole planning process. Deborah, Andrew and the team at Marybrooke Manor ensured that we were well supported and looked after throughout the whole evening. In the lead up to the event we appreciated Deborah's prompt replies through the app (such an amazing and appreciated service). We were so fortunate to have her as our Celebrant and MC for the night, alongside DJ Keegan from audio entertainment who had everyone up on the dancefloor! No one left hungry as everyone enjoyed their meals that were delicious and everyone particularly raved about the Pork Belly and Cherry Cheesecake! Marybrooke Manor also went above and beyond to cater for our many dietary requirements which was greatly appreciated. The way that the venue runs their tastings is phenomenal. Having the opportunity to book in as many times as you would like to select menu options really helped us to feel confident when making decisions and we appreciated that it was a 3 course meal so we could get an idea as to how the meals would be presented on the night. It was some of the smaller details that we didn't think about that we appreciated so greatly such as sending us home with our menus from the night, a copy of our vowels and the ceremony. It is little touches like this that made us know that it is a venue that really cares about the couples who choose Marybrooke Manor for their special day! We couldn’t be more thankful , the night was more magical than we could have ever imagined!

I wish I can reflect on this place, being the the place we got married, as a happy memory but unfortunately this is not the case. In the initial meeting when our wedding coordinator had asked about my now husbands parents, we advised her of them being passed away and her response was “oh cool”. We were very upset by this in which we had spoken to the owner about. Things felt pretty uncomfortable thereafter when planning the wedding. On the wedding day they delivered (thank god), coz this is the only positive memory we can hold on to. After the wedding, the venue staff had packed our decorations from the gifts table. We had a lit candle next to my passed away husbands parents photos, they had carelessly put the candle in our container and the still melted wax damaged all our decorations & photos. Sent an email to the owner and received a subpar response. It is now two days before our 1yr anniversary and they haven’t bothered to contact us to invite us back for a complimentary stay which was part of our package! We had been looking fwd to this all year, hoping to relive our wedding day and hoped to have felt differently about the place. Despite all the disappointment, we have always remained pleasant in dealing with them. So I hope Deborah, instead of responding in your usual unfriendly manner as I have now seen after reading your reviews, I hope you take this feedback on board and work towards not letting your future wedding couples down.

Choosing Marybrooke as our wedding venue was the absolute best decision we could have made. From the very first interaction all the way through to our wedding day, the communication and guidance from the team was incredible, the marybrooke app meant we could ask any random questions at any time and they’d reply almost instantly, it made planning so easy. The venue and grounds are absolutely beautiful at any time of year and even in winter we had a lovely ceremony in the gazebo, knowing that the chapel was ready to go as a back up eased so much stress. The inclusions and optional extras are brilliant, they really have thought of everything. We were so happy with how they set everything up on the day, it all looked exactly as we’d hoped. We had so many guests tell us how much they’d loved the venue and how brilliant the staff were. Deborah was so helpful in the lead up and we had Andrew coordinate everything on the day and he was an absolute star, we wouldn’t have changed a single thing. The accomodation on site was so convenient for us and our guests, the rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable. The food was great too! Nothing was ever too much trouble and they went above and beyond every step of the way to ensure that everything went perfectly. Thank you so much to the entire marybrooke team for making our wedding day so special. We can’t wait to return for our 1st anniversary. Jess and Joe Chadwick

We couldn't recommend Marybrooke Manor enough! Firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you to Adi & Deborah for helping to make our day as special as it was. Throughout all of the stressful changes due to COVID, Deborah was so understanding and helped ease the pressure off us just knowing that we weren't going to lose out on anything and no matter what, our day was going to happen. We couldn't have picked a better venue to have our wedding as we visited all of the wedding venues up in the Dandenongs and as soon as we drove into Marybrooke, we just knew that this was the one. We had such amazing feedback from all of our guests as to how much they loved the venue, food, accommodation, breakfast etc and many said it was the best wedding they had been to. From the start of our magical day to the end, Adi made sure our day ran as smooth as it did and was also making sure we were happy with how everything was going, we were very lucky to have been assigned such a fantastic coordinator! DJ Keegan was also so great in making sure the music we wanted was played accordingly and was always happen to change things up upon request. We can't wait to come back to Marybrooke for our 1 year anniversary just to reminisce on our beautiful day and to visit the stunning place again! So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you again to Deborah, Adi & the team at Marybrooke Manor for allowing us to have the best wedding we could possibly ask for.

We had our wedding at Marybrooke Manor on the 26th of March, 2023 and we were blown away by how wonderful the experience was. The manor is just beautiful and the grounds are superb, so there are heaps of really lovely photo opportunities for wedding photos after the ceremony, without needing to leave the grounds. The food was interstellar and there was a lot of it, their options packages meant you could tailor the experience exactly how you wanted it, the reception area is beautiful and everything came together to make our wedding a truly magical event. But the biggest plus to Marybrooke? Definitely its staff. Deborah and her amazing team of angels worked miracles that day and nothing was too much trouble or too difficult to accommodate, up to including two people literally at the last minute to a table in the reception, because we ended up with extra meals. Every single person we met was polite, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful and they made us feel like we were part of the Marybrooke family. I am so glad that we chose Marybrooke Manor as our wedding venue. We can't wait to go back there to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and catch up with these amazing people again. Check out their high teas too, we've also tried that in the lead up to our wedding and that was also a wonderful experience!

My partner Jaxon and I were married here on Friday 6th January. We cannot sing praises high enough of Marybrooke and the staff. Nothing was too much effort for them, everyone was lovely and went above and beyond our expectations. From the venue and onsite accomodation, to the catering, to everything in between, Marybrooke had all bases well and truly covered. There were so many little touches that just added to our overall experience, and we cannot thank each of you enough for such a smooth and easy time throughout the entire planning and marriage process. We were especially impressed with our MC Adi, she read the room beautifully and kept us and our guests in fits of giggles with her infectious energy and quick wit. Another shout out to our DJ Keegan, he kept the dance floor full right up until our farewells. And last but not least, a massive thank you to Deborah, Andrew and all of your staff for what was definitely the most memorable and perfect day we could have asked for. It's lovely to meet owners that have such a passion and genuine care for what they do every single day - you have created such a memorable and special experience, we can't express our gratitude enough. My only regret is that we cannot marry here again haha! Can't wait to come and celebrate our anniversary with you guys - and we definitely would recommend Marybrooke to anyone considering marriage in the future - check them out, we promise you won't be disappointed!

Simply stunning venue for a wedding. Gardens superbly presented. Reception room was also magnificently presented. Reception was somewhat of a let down. Bridal party sampled the menu a few weeks prior and gave approval, however the meals that were served on the night were not of same standard and menu was altered slightly. Food was lovely, but not exactly what was expected. Champagne for toasts was poured during a break between entree's and main meal, some 45 minutes before the toasts were scheduled. Many people were not seated while this was being done, so nothing was poured if seat was not occupied at the time. Champagne that was poured, was either warm or drunk before toasts were proposed. Bride and groom carefully prepared a music play list, which was handed to venue management for submission to (in house) DJ. Music played was not what was prepared in advance. Accommodation was very nice. Breakfast was wonderful and very fulfilling, with a terrific variety. The group was provided with a private function room, however 2 strangers not affiliated with the wedding made their way into the function room and duly helped themselves to breakfast. All in all a lovely venue, but a few disappointments, none more than management demanding an extra $2000, 2 days before the event. Negotiations afterwards got half returned, but the damage was done.

We married here on the 10.1.20 and highly recommend it! The venue and grounds were stunning and exactly what we wanted. It poured down on the day but the venue still supported our choice to hold our ceremony outside. There was an indoor option but we just had our heart set on the outdoors. The package we had was incredibly inclusive from providing centrepieces, the MC and DJ to printing menus that also acted as place cards in our package. They were flexible and accommodating allowing us to BYO our favourite cider to be served in addition to the house package and let us choose a dessert from their sister venue so I could have my favourite desserts served. Food served was delicious and good in portion size. It felt like they had everything under control and there wasn't a lot we needed to do. We had Kendall support us in the final planning and confirmation stage and also act as our MC and were very happy. Deb, the owner, was also prompt at responding to queries leading up to our day. Thank you so much for creating the perfect wedding day for us and we look forward to staying on our anniversary. Jesse and Lucy

We were married here in Feb of this year and we cannot fault it at all! We received incredible hospitality from the moment we stood on the grounds to the moment we left. Not only is it such a gorgeous location to be married at, the staff are so friendly and very accommodating to all your needs. We had Adi as a wedding coordinator and Annie assisting me in the morning of the big day and ladies, you were both a charm, you knew the nerves were there and the stress was peaking and yet you still found a way to make me feel calm and you just took care of every little thing that I needed, so thank you for the bottom of my heart. We were also married by one of the owners of Marybrooke, Deborah Judkins, you are a superstar, so professional and such a genuine person who understood how we wanted things to go, thank you for everything. I will also point out that having accommodation on site is something that is paramount in terms of getting ready or having guests fly in from interstate and this venue has it all. From the Papworth's, thank you for everything.

Me and my husband were blown away by how little work we need to put into organising our reception. I was full time studying, working, and managing different commitments with not a lot of down time. Deb and Adi have done an amazing job in making our reception as stress-free as possible from day 1. Our guests had a wonderful time- complimenting how beautiful, intimate, and comfortable the venue was. Although me and my husband didn't have too much to eat on the night because every bite of food comes with people wanting to take photos. But we've heard great things about the catering :) That one bite of filet mignon tasted amazing though! And the dessert was on point! Our Sherbrooke package comes with a complimentary stay at the accommodation (breakfast included) prior to our reception and it made the whole day run smoother still. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's an A+ for me and I can't recommend Marybrooke Manor enough. If you want a stress free wedding, look no further ;)

We would like to thank everyone at Marybrooke Manor for making our special day the most memorable and enjoyable time. It will be a day that we will never forget. Adi was there every step of the way making sure no stone was left unturned. Her kind and friendly nature made the day run so smoothly, making sure everyone was ok throughout the day. Deborah, we can’t thank you enough for making our ceremony such a joyous and memorable moment. Your motivation to help calm the nerves was astounding. To Deborah & Andrew, we thank you for allowing Marybrooke Manor to host our wedding and will never forget the amount of fun we had. Your beautiful venue is just the place to be, we couldn’t ask for anything better and will always be eternally grateful for all your help and support in the lead up to our wedding day.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole Marybrooke team. Everyone that we dealt with directly were awesome. In particular, our wedding coordinator Krista was amazing. At all stages of the process she was super bubbly and an absolute pleasure to deal with in the lead up to and more importantly all throughout the actual day and the evening. We honestly could not have expected the whole big day to go more smoothly. We didn't run into any problems and everything went so smoothly. We've had so many comments about how great every aspect of the wedding was and a massive part of that is obviously in relation to the venue and the service provided. It was also greatly appreciated that the Marybrooke team were able to meet all dietry requirements for our guests meals, some of which (one in particular) were very specific and limiting. Thank you Krista and the rest of the team at Marybrooke for making our big day amazing!!

Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff members are lovely and extremely helpful. Nothing was too hard! All of my guest have commented on how incredible the venue is and how amazing the food was. There is a room there for the ladies to get ready in for the day, which is beautiful and very relaxing. While the boys loved having a cottage to themselves, which was also a stunning locations. We all went there for a bbq the night before our wedding and we loved having the space to have everyone around us as our last night together as a non married couple before i went back to the manor. I loved the walk back to the manor, its a very picturesque place. My now husband loved the fact that he didn't have to tip toe around me the day of the wedding as Marybrooke manor supplied breakfast for them in the morning that they could cook at anytime that they liked. Everything was amazing!! Thank you so much to the staff at Marybrooke Manor.

Marybrooke Manor is an amazing venue for a wedding. Deborah, Adi and the team are caring, kind, beautiful people. It took 6 attempts to get married due to covid and snap lockdowns and we were supported through the journey by Deborah and the team. The day was perfect. We were calm and relaxed all because of the organisation of the venue. They made everything flow smoothly and calmly. Food and drinks were amazing and no one went home hungry. Those who stayed had a great night sleep in the beautiful bedrooms and a great breakfast. Adi did an amazing job on the day and was a great MC. She ran the show and let us enjoy the day, without feeling pushed or rushed. We can't Thank the people at Marybrooke Manor enough and consider them family for ALL they did on the day and through the 2 year journey. Love Donna and Michael

Marybrooke Manor, you have done it again. We attended a wedding 3 years ago and fell in love with the venue and the people. That night as guests to the wedding we felt like we were the second most important people in the room (second to the Bride and Groom). We have just returned from our honeymoon and wanted to share our experience of our event at this fantastic venue. Deborah and Andrew have been just amazing to deal with, they have the same passion as they had three years ago. They love with what they do and ensure your special day is exactly what you want. We were the most important people in the room. We did have to reschedule our dates several times due to Covid and Marybrooke manor and the team were very accommodating to our requests. We couldn’t recommend Marybrooke Manor and their team any higher. Thanks for making our day so special!

We had our wedding Friday the 4th March and it was perfect !! The whole venue is stunning, from the outdoor ceremony, to canapés in the garden to the reception, we picked it after visiting 20 other venues. Having our guests pop upstairs for the night was a perfect way to end our wedding, seeing everyone for breaky in the morning was a really nice bonus. The whole team was amazing, with the Marybrooke app keeping in touch was so easy! We got a response within 12 hours every time. From the first visit until checkout we were overjoyed with it all, the service, the all inclusive package, having everything in 1 place made the day run so smooth, even getting ready up stairs meant I didn’t have to travel in a wedding dress. Highly recommend, they go above and beyond to make everything special and specific to your vision.

My Partner Demi & I had our wedding at Marybrooke Manor. We couldn’t recommend the venue more not only for its amazing location but also the great staff & owners. We were very lucky to have had Deborah be the celebrant for our ceremony & Andrew MC our reception, with their entire team ensuring the day ran as smoothly as possible which allowed us to enjoy every moment as much as possible. In the lead up to date the team was great at answering all our questions and assisting with changes to planning of the day and accommodation booked for guests. In addition, all of guests loved the venue and throughly enjoyed the meals served on the day. Again we would highly recommend having your special day at Marybrooke Manor!

We knew Marybrooke was our wedding venue as soon as we pulled up and saw the beautiful Tudor style building and surrounding gardens. The on-site accommodation was also a massive bonus for us as we had travelling guests. Deborah and her staff are so lovely and helpful, and they have a handy app that you can use for communication throughout the planning process. Nothing is too much trouble, planning was a breeze! A lot of things are included in the package and the menu options are fantastic. Very well priced for what you get. All guests enjoyed the tasty food and generous portions. We would definitely recommend this venue to any couple. Our guests said it was the best wedding they'd been to in a long time.

On Sunday we returned to Marybrooke Manor for the first time since our wedding there in May 2019, to celebrate my birthday with my family. The high tea was absolutely beautiful, all the food items carefully placed and portioned. The teas that were supplied were delicious - we tried quite a few between the 7 of us, and we all really enjoyed the day. Afterwards we took a short walk around the grounds to some of the places that we remembered from our special day. It was like stepping into a time capsule, all the beauty and tranquility perfectly preserved. I'm so glad we decided to come back to you for high tea, it was a beautiful day and we'll be recommending it to everyone. Thanks!

On Friday the 6th of January 2023, I was a bridesmaid for a very special friend. What a perfect setting to say "I Do" the grounds are absolutely breathtaking! The staff at Marybrooke are just so sweet, helpful and are extremely accommodating to every single need that we all had from food requirements to last minute run arounds and their MC Adi was very hilarious. The food was so delicious from the lunch platters as we were getting ready to the beautiful dinner and desert and breakfast the next morning were all so yummy. The rooms are gorgeous and the bed in our room was also very comfortable. I want to thank all the staff for everything they provided to us, you all sure went above and beyond my expectations. A perfect night it was indeed.

Marybrooke Manor provided us with a perfect day! We recently got married there and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff were all fantastic, and incredibly helpful. Our day was beautiful and although we had the threat of rain, it held off just long enough, but the staff were always very reassuring and a backup space was always available to us. Super special thank you to Helen, our wedding day coordinator, who made everything run smoothly and who's calm demeanor helped my peace of mind. We can't wait to visit again on our 1 year anniversary, considering coming back earlier to taste those chips again. 100/10 would recommend! Mr & Mrs Douthie xx

Working with Nadine and the team at Marybrooke made this stress head bride feel so at ease and sure that my day would run smoothly. Although chillier than hoped for, Marybrooke were able to pull off a garden ceremony with wonderful blankets and welcome us all back inside with cocktails and a fire. Communication with them was great, my questions were always answered promptly and clearly. Nadine did a wonderful job on the day with some last minute changes and Matt and I could not be happier with how everything went. Thank you so much for making everything so perfect! I could not recommend Marybrooke more if you are after an intimate venue with everything you could need all in one place, outstanding service and an eye for details.

Our entire experience with Marybrooke Manor was fantastic. They were really easy to get a hold of and had great communication especially during covid when we had to re-scheduled our wedding. When we first booked our wedding they gave us a book with local suppliers information which saved us heaps of time, we felt no pressure to use all their suppliers and ended up using a mixture of theirs and others that we sources ourselves. The owner Deborah was also our celebrant which made the process even easier. We had a lovely MC for the night who looked after all our needs along with the team of staff. Both my husband and I were very pleased with our experience and we highly reccomend Marybrooke Manor as a wedding venue.

We had our wedding at Marybrooke Manor in November 2017. The Venue is beautiful and was the perfect back drop for our small family wedding. Everyone loved it, in fact people are still raving about how nice it was. The food was delicious, the DJ was great and all the staff were wonderful, with a special thanks to our co-ordinator Lauren. All the communication prior to the event was great, they respond very quickly and are always happy to help. We stayed the night before our wedding and got ready there on the day and most of our guest stayed the night and everyone was very happy with the room amenities and were very comfortable. We couldn’t have been happier with our day and highly recommend this venue.

To the amazing team at Marybrooke Manor, thank you so much for making our wedding day an absolutely wonderful day to remember! Thank you for organising everything to run so smoothly and for your attention to detail and impeccable service throughout! Jacqui, you were absolutely brilliant - so grateful to have you as our event coordinator and for always being across every little detail! We really appreciated it so much and it allowed us to enjoy the day, knowing that you had everything covered! Thank you so much again team! ❤️ Much love Jo and Jarryd!

This venue made all our wedding dreams come true. They are super transparent with their packages and inclusions and anything you could think of asking, they have already thought about. Communication with the venue was made incredibly easy using their app and onsite accommodation made the choice easy to make. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the optional decoration packages just elevate it to the next level. The food was delicious, and the beverage options are generous.

Marybrooke manor is a beautiful establishment, the surrounding gardens are breathtaking , attended a wedding, 2 nite stay, room was clean, king bed was comfortable, housekeeper was very friendly, only disappointment was the main meal(ribeye steak) (plates/food arrived with no heat, warm)bought to managers attention, offered a replacement but second meal was not much better, hit and miss l guess, breakfast was hit and miss also, seems bacon was removed from bag and just dropped in a tray, not separated, no crispy bits, looked boiled, guessing it was cooked in a combie oven, scrambled eggs definitely not fluffy, solid mass, not outstanding in the meals, disappointed ☹️

One of Mount Dandenong's longest standing and most popular wedding venues, if you want a place that has it all. Onsite accommodation, 2 ceremony spaces both indoor and outdoor, reception, photo locations and close to other spots for either photos or private accommodation. As a vendor that has worked here a few times, they always look after me and I hear good feedback from my clients from their perspective as well. The absolute best time for photos here is mid to late April where the trees look their best in autumn. Also be sure to plan out your day to have enough time for photos before it gets dark, especially in winter.

If you dont want to sleep at all then stay here... Kids playing ball outside our room in the middle of the night and couldn't care less. no one to speak to about it because reception isn't manned in the evening . In reply to you I called multiple times and no answer... Also the food in the restaurant is awful!!!! Not to mention when walking your your gardens my 3 year old some came across some rusty old barbed wire lying around and scratched his leg. So I'll write whatever I want thanks I'll give my honest opinion and that is it. Won't be back

Was married here on 28/10/23 and OMG it was spectacular. When we arrived the bride tribe said the photos don’t do this place justice and so right they are. In real life this venue is to die for ♥️ if you’re considering getting married in the Dandenongs you MUST check Marybrooke Manor out. One stop venue for ceremony, reception, accommodation, DJ, celebrant and much more. You name it and I recon they have it. Even breakfast the next day for staying guests.

My partner and I literally just let the day run with their coordination without worrying too much about the day. The in-house breakfast is great and the venue itself has ample parking lots and spacious drive-in (to take grand photos with the manor as the background). Around the wedding venue, there are a few aesthetic reserves or parks that you can drive out to have photos taken!

My new husband and I were married here in August 2019, Marybrooke is such a beautiful place. The gardens, the establishment, the staff, food, rooms were and are amazing. We cannot faulter this venue, up until the date of the wedding they were in constant contact and any questions I needed answering they answered them. Our guests loved everything about Marybrooke Manor and they are still raving about it to their friends. Thank you Marybrooke for everything that you did for us we will be ever so grateful and we look forward to coming back in 1 year :)

We were here for our grandsons wedding. What a wonderful experience it was. Old world charm with modernised interior, a magnificent reception room, and hotel style rooms each with ensuite for those staying the night. The gardens and surrounds are stunning and provided a quiet relaxing environment. The wedding and afterwards the reception were top class, and the service perfect. We were happy to have been inside this venue, and recommended it to anyone contemplating a wedding function place with accommodation.

My wedding day at Marybrooke Manor was fantastic. It was a freezing cold and rainy september day, but that didn't stop it from being a cosy and happy indoor event in the beautiful manor. All the staff were warm and professional and made a great effort to make sure all our needs were attended to. The price was also very reasonable, and they were very upfront about all costs. I highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting a wedding with beautiful old-world cosy charm.

A big thanks to Deb and the team at Marybrooke for the excellent job they did for my Daughters wedding on March 6. All of our guests said it was one of best weddings they had ever attended! I have never seen Ashleigh look so happy ever before in her entire life. Special thanks also to our Brilliant Wedding Coordinator Adi for making the day so special and keeping everything running smoothly. After all our COVID problems and rebookings the Management at Marybrooke went above and beyond to make it a very special day. Thank you for Everything Marybrooke Manor!!

My wife and I got married in January and we cannot thank Nadine and Deborah enough!! From the moment we booked with them, through the planning and our wedding day, they were so helpful and answered all questions and queries we forwarded through to them quite quickly. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and Nadine was just awesome. Marybrooke is in a beautiful location, the gardens are well maintained and we loved every minute of our wedding day. We really think this is an amazing place to have a wedding and will definitely be recommending it to everyone!

Couldn't have chosen a better venue to celebrate our perfect day. From the initial meeting of Deborah and Adi, throughout the entire process, we felt comfortable, listened to, and safe in their guiding hands for our wedding day. After multiple covid postponements, and almost three years later, our dream came true at Marybrooke Manor. Deborah, you were the perfect Celebrant, and Adi, you were the perfect Wedding Planner/Emcee. We cannot thank you enough for making our special day absolutely perfect. Love Braeden & Joel Visser.

I'm torn about this venue - it's super cute but dated. Bathrooms in desperate need of a reno, furniture needs polishing/maintenance and generally needs a dusting and tlc. The wedding we attended was lovely, staff were ok, nothing notable to mention. I was surprised by the food, more than ample to eat and variety was good. Bar drinks reasonable prices too. Be warned though- no internet/phone coverage and no taxis! Also very difficult to get an uber home, they cancel as most don't like going through the windy dark roads.

Marybrooke Manor is a fantastic wedding venue. I had a small wedding of <40 people and this was the perfect venue for us. The overall style of the venue is incredible with lots of on-site photo opportunities, there is so much equipment available to use inclusive of the fee and for a very affordable price. There was a lot of communication from day one, lots of helpful resources provided to help with the wedding planning and plenty of opportunity to revisit, practice and confirm specific requirements we had for the day.

I was the MoH recently at a wedding at Marybrooke Manor and was really impressed by the level of service and attention given to the bridal party and all of the guests. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, especially for myself as I require vegan options. They went above and beyond to cater for my dietary requirement and I am really grateful I didn’t go hungry! Every little thing was thought of and the wedding ran incredibly smoothly. I would recommend it to anyone :) it is truly a beautiful location.

Went there for a wedding the weekend after new years, It was absolutely spectacular, they handled everything absolutely amazingly, the food was spectacular my only complaint was that everyone else managed to get some of the food, because I would have eaten all 100 people's serves. Everything was well organized, smooth, and the MC was incredibly competent at herding intoxicated people. Honestly, a piece of the garden of Eden, would 100% book my wedding there

A big thank you to Helen and Deborah! They are professional and very laid back which made it easy for us to communicate and get along with them. The big day ran smoothly and most importantly they made sure we enjoyed our day. They were accommodating to our little quirks that we wanted to incorporate into our day. Everything was great! All the staff were there when we needed assistance. Ps. The Marybrooke App is genius idea! We highly recommend them!

Went for a High Tea with a group. A 3 tiered plate stand was shared between 2 people. Savoury goodies on the bottom tier, slices & bakery goods on the middle tier, finishing up with scones on the top tier. There was two bits of food per person. Certainly enough food but found it all a little average for a High Tea experience. Expecting a more classic menu ie cucumber finger sandwiches. etc. Underwhelming. Nice room with great views.

Recently held a conference, and it was by far one of the best conferences that I had to organise due to the help and service provided by the owners and staff. They went out of their way to provide great service and ensured all members who attended had a great time. The food was awesome, and the rooms were comfortable, and everything just flowed due to the attention given to us. I would go back tomorrow.

We recently held a conference at Marybrooke Manor. The venue was fantastic, such an idyllic location with stunning grounds to explore and many nearby bush walks. Deborah, Andrew and their staff were very friendly, helpful, attentive, well organised and the conference ran seamlessly. The food was of a really high quality and there was so much provided at each meal. The rooms were very spacious and well appointed with amenities. Thank you so much for having us, we will be returning.

Outstanding gardens that are kept in great order. Attending a wedding here and it was an excellent venue. Friendly staff look after the guests with a smile. Meals are slightly above the average I'd expect with a large set menu catering, the sundried tomato and pesto gnocchi being a standout. Interior has that manor feel to a tee with large fireplaces and armchairs to social from. Didn't stay but from what I saw, guest bedrooms (and bathroom) were acceptable and spacy enough.

Deborah & Andrew lead an amazing team who went above and beyond to make our wedding day a success. We thoroughly appreciated having them help us plan the wedding from start-to-finish and kept in touch with the app which was very reassuring if we had questions or wanted to make any changes. On the day itself Andrew (MC) and Deborah (Celebrant) did an amazing job - our guests loved the venue, food, and overall atmosphere.

Just had my daughter's wedding at Marybrooke Manor on the weekend. Everything was absolutely superb. Staff were amazing. Food was amazing. Venue was amazing. Guests were very happy to be there. I cannot thank Adi and Deborah in particular, for all of the support they both offered Katie and Jax in the lead up to the wedding and, on their special day. We had the most extraordinary celebration, and I would highly recommend Marybrooke Manor to the whole world. Well done guys.

Marybrooke Manor is an incredible venue and I cannot rate it highly enough. I have worked at this venue, been a guest at this venue and even brought portrait clients to this beautiful place! The owners and staff are beautiful people and all about making their wedding couples, visitors and everyone working on their estate feel welcome. The food is amazing and there are so many events they can cater for. Highly highly recommend Marybrooke Manor.. 5 stars is not enough!

I've shot numerous wedding videos here at Marybrooke Manor over the years. You can see from my photos (and the photos posted by many other visitors that the location is beautiful. Both the mansion and the gardens. But what you can't see is that the staff are all very kind and professional. This is very important to me, because if staff are not so, then it's a lot harder to shoot a great wedding video for my couples. So thank you Marybrooke Manor :)

Marybrooke Manor was a perfect place to witness the wedding of my beautiful niece Katie and her lovely new husband Jax. We loved the lush green garden setting for their vows and posing for some family photos. Then to chillax in the wine garden before the formal evening celebrations. Such a great day followed by a great night celebrating, sharing a meal and dancing (and yep there was loud singing too!). It truly lovely, thank you.

Marybrooke Manor was a beautiful and stress-free place to get married! All of the staff were easy-going and attentive which made the big day go smoothly. To have the ceremony, reception and accommodation all in one place was fantastic and meant we could focus on each other and our friends and family. We would definitely recommend getting married here! Our wedding coordinator, Adi, was so wonderful and helped to make our day very special.

Awesome venue. We left full and had a very positive experience. The tea they used (Madame flavour) was excellent quality. All scones, cakes and savoury items were made fresh in house. A minor point is im a savoury person and would have appreciated some ribbon sandwiches. Mum was vego and they catered to dietary requirements. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and topped up our teapot regularly. Thanks for a positive experience

Words can not describe how magical and perfect Marybrooke made our special day. I would recommend Marybrooke and staff to anyone planning their wedding! Super stress free in the middle of a worldwide pandemic no less, the staff being laid back and friendly and making our wedding every little girl dreams off Josh and I can not thank you enough.

Thank you for bringing all our dreams come true, our NYE wedding was the most special day and fun night. Filled with glamour, yummy food, games and laughter. We appreciated your support every step of the way. The venue was so beautiful, the games brought laughter, dance floor went off and the Marybrooke team brought it all together. Thank you Deborah and the Marybrooke team, for the best wedding experience possible!

Beautiful place, quiet morning+fresh air to wonder around; very nice lunch with reasonable price. However not a best place for family to stay, especially with young kids, late wedding party and loud guests in corridors; old building/rooms, our two years old coughs whole night with some sorts of allergy/asthma reactions. Weak phone signal, WiFi isn’t working well.

The gardens and surroundings were gorgeous. Unfortunately the food for christmas lunch was very average. I expected better quality. The buffet was not what i expected. The quantity was there but not the quality. The meats were cooked the day before and were absolutely flavourless. The vegetables were steamed and not roasted including the potatoes. The quality did not justify the price. Unfortunately i wont be back.

Had a High Tea at the Manor for a friends birthday and it was fantastic. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. The high tea was very generous and the food especially fresh and delicious. The scones were a particular standout out for me. Our vegan guest said their high tea was some of the best vegan food they've had so it's clear the chef has had experience in that area. Get out and visit this great venue.

We attended a wedding on Friday jax and Katie's. It was absolutely gorgeous beautiful people and the gardens ❤️ beautiful. Food exceptional. The staff cared looked after us percent. Nothing was to much trouble. A beautiful place for a wedding. Didn't want to leave. Congratulations you are absolutely the best wedding venue I've attended. Your attention to detail was perfect. A brilliant day.

Venue for son's wedding. The venue is very well set out with the ability to have indoor or garden service. The venue has a great feel and staff are friendly. The food is top quality and serving size is generous. The venue is well laid out with accommodation on site for those guests wanting to stay with breakfast available next morning.

We would like to thank the whole team for looking after us and all the guests on our wedding day this past weekend. It was an amazing night and everyone had a great time. Everything went very well and as smoothly as we expected. All the staff were super friendly, helpful and attentive. Big shout out to Nadine and the DJ! Definitely it was a night we will remember forever!

Beautiful building. Stayed in a deluxe king room. It didn't feel very deluxe when you had to hold the toilet seat up. The shower leaked all over bathroom floor. Extremely small TV. Hard to sleep when it sound like people above are stomping like elephant's. Really nice breakfast tho. Definitely not worth the money. Maybe remove the word deluxe from you're description.

Very happy with this stay lots of space we stayed here for a friends wedding staff was really nice lots of space for photos Highly recommend for wedding events, or any other events/ holiday. They have plenty rooms/ accommodation for guest, chapel, separate dinning for guests, great breakfast, you get this feeling you are home in a family setting very warm and calm.

Went to the restaurant with family. Lovely place, lunch was delicious, staff friendly. We ordered desserts and very disappointed with the portions of the Apple Pecan pie, two bite pie and the Devonshire Tea, the scones were hard as rocks. The price does not justify the servings provided. Beautifully gardens and venue otherwise really enjoyed the visit.

Deborah, Andrew and the team did an absolutely fantastic job of ensuring not only did the day run smoothly but also made lots of suggestions both in the lead up and on the day to make our day incredible despite rain. The gardens were so beautiful both in Sun and rain.

An absolutely fabulous place for any event of 50-150 people. The grounds and buildings are beautifully kept; the food is restaurant quality; and the service is both professional and personalised. There is onsite accommodation and a reasonable amount of parking. I attended a wedding and stayed the night. Everything was comfortable and well maintained.

Wonderful old reception and function centre. Set in a century old European style garden on large acreage. Weddings and other special occasions catered for beautifully. Stay over night if you can in comfortable rooms and have a cooked breakfast before heading home. Food served at the wedding reception was high quality and generous in proportion

We held our wedding at Marybrooke Manor a few months ago and it was perfect. The staff are brilliant, and really take their time to make sure the day is exactly as you want it. Rooms are very luxurious, and the included breakfast the next day is a great way to catch up with everyone from the night before! Highly recommend.

Had our gorgeous wedding at Marybrooke, from the initial enquiry, to the wedding day, the whole experience was A+. The communication with Krista & Deborah was outstanding, nothing was too much hassle and the food created by the chef was amazing too. Highly recommend this amazing venue, our wedding was spectacular.

We were at a Wedding held in the grounds & Reception held in the premises, also stayed in accommodation

Marybrooke truly made our special day one to remember. Everything from the preparation to the follow up after the wedding was smooth. We didn't need to stress about anything on the day. They also catered vegetarian at our request! A big thanks to the whole team for their exceptional service. Would recommend!

Really beautiful manor!!! Very well maintained. The building itself has a PJ's Restaurant. The maple trees are beautiful. Imagine getting married in this beautiful place!?!? After visiting the George Tindale Memorial Garden, can always come here to take a look around.!!!

Had my wedding here and it was just so perfect, I can’t even describe in words how amazing the day was! It’s a beautiful wedding venue and the staff and food are top notch. We stayed the night as well and the beds are super comfy and the rooms very clean and beautiful! Can’t wait to go back again!

I am used to staying in cute cottages or camping areas, so marybrooke manor was a big change! The buildings and gardens were beautiful, the service was outstanding and PJs for breakfast was superb! My only issue was the room size, (a little small). A beautiful escape in a magical environment!

Wonderful place for a destination wedding with accommodation available for guests. Can't wait to go back for high tea

Had a menu tasting as part of planning for the wedding my daughter has booked. The food was lovely, the venue is a delight, surpassed only by the dedication, experience and passion of the owners Deborah and Andrew. Can't wait for the Big Day when we see Marybrooke Manor in full flight!

The team at Marybrooke Manor made our wedding so special. The venue was beautiful, the food tasted amazing and was very filling, the DJ played great music and the master of ceremony cracked everyone up with the best jokes. We were very well looked after before and after our wedding.

Lovely area. We were here for a wedding. the food was delicious, the venue was very pretty. Room was rather dated but comfortable enough for a good night sleep. The only problem was the lack of cellular signal indoor. So don't expect to receive any phone calls while you are inside.

What a beautiful place to stay. The woman in reception was great. So friendly, lots of information & really helpful. Moved us a quieter room away from the weekends wedding guests. Shame the restaurant wasn't available for dinner but that's life. It's a busy wedding venue.

Amazing location and amazing service from Deborah and the team. Our wedding went perfectly and our guests had very convenient accommodation.

I absolutely loved the Marybrpoke Manor. I attended my niece's wedding. Everything was lovely...the beautiful gardens, the venue and staff. Thank Manor team for making niece's wedding such a special day. Would highly recommend for other couples.

Great service, tasty and heaps of food, love the fireplace, loved the pretty high tea set up. An all round lovely afternoon in a beautiful welcoming place. It brightened up a very cold dark Melbourne afternoon. And of coarse great company.

Our wedding at Marybrooke Manor was wonderful. The staff were in constant communication with us, resulting in a stress-free day. Beautiful venue with amazing food and service.

Great place for a wedding and reception. Excellent food, bit too much for me. You can stay in the hotel area if you like. Easy to get to plenty of parking.

Beautiful historic venue, excellent staff, spectacular location. I didn't think I'd ever actually attend a perfect wedding, but Marybrooke made it happen.
