If you’ve always imagined celebrating your wedding in a grand estate surrounded by magnificent gardens, historic architecture and luxurious accommodation, Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park is a venue that deserves a closer look.
Located around 35 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, the hotel sits within the famous Werribee Park precinct alongside the iconic 19th-century Werribee Mansion and its beautifully maintained formal gardens. It’s one of those venues that immediately makes an impression, whether you’re arriving for a venue inspection or welcoming guests on your wedding day.
One of the things we particularly like about Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park is the flexibility it offers. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration with close family or a spectacular reception for hundreds of guests, there are multiple ceremony locations and reception spaces that can be tailored to suit your vision.
About Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park
Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park combines the elegance of a luxury boutique hotel with one of Victoria’s most recognisable heritage settings.
The hotel itself sits adjacent to the magnificent Werribee Mansion, giving couples access to spectacular gardens, historic architecture and expansive parkland that have made this one of Melbourne’s most photographed wedding destinations.
Unlike many standalone reception venues, the property also offers luxury accommodation, an award-winning restaurant, day spa and leisure facilities. This means your wedding can become an entire weekend experience rather than just a single afternoon and evening.
For couples with interstate or overseas guests, having accommodation on-site is a significant advantage. Guests can simply walk back to their rooms after the reception rather than arranging transport late at night.
Wedding Ceremonies
One of the biggest strengths of Werribee Park is the variety of ceremony locations available.
The venue currently offers five ceremony locations, allowing couples to choose the setting that best reflects their style and guest numbers. Whether you’ve dreamed of exchanging vows beneath magnificent trees, within formal English gardens or in an elegant indoor space, there are several beautiful options available.
Outdoor Garden Ceremonies
The surrounding gardens are undoubtedly one of the venue’s biggest attractions.
Towering trees, manicured lawns, ornamental lakes and historic landscaping create an unforgettable backdrop that requires very little additional styling.
If you’re hoping for timeless wedding photographs, the formal gardens surrounding Werribee Mansion are among the finest in Victoria.
Indoor Ceremony Options
Melbourne weather is famously unpredictable, so it’s reassuring to know that indoor ceremony options are also available.
Having a quality wet weather alternative means you won’t be anxiously watching the forecast during the week leading up to your wedding.
Wedding Reception Spaces
Rather than offering a single reception room, Lancemore provides several unique spaces depending on your wedding style and guest numbers.
The Pavilion
If you’re looking for something contemporary with beautiful views, The Pavilion is an excellent option.
Overlooking the Polo Fields, it features a private deck and lawn area and accommodates approximately:
- Up to 110 guests seated indoors with a dance floor
- Up to 140 guests seated using the outdoor area
It’s particularly suited to couples wanting an indoor-outdoor celebration with plenty of natural light.
The Theatre
For couples wanting a more traditional ballroom atmosphere, The Theatre offers soaring six-metre ceilings, French doors and direct access to private gardens.
This elegant space can accommodate up to 140 seated guests and includes a dedicated dance floor and stage.
The Marquee
If you’re planning a large wedding, the Marquee is likely to attract your attention.
Complete with silk draping, chandeliers, timber flooring, marble bar and private terrace, it can accommodate up to 280 guests while maintaining an elegant atmosphere.
Wedding Reception Capacity
According to the venue, Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park can cater for:
- Up to 220 seated guests
- Up to 400 cocktail guests
This makes it suitable for everything from intimate celebrations through to some of Melbourne’s largest wedding receptions.
Wedding Photography
Few Melbourne venues offer the same variety of photography opportunities.
Without leaving the property, couples can take photographs amongst:
- The historic Werribee Mansion
- Formal English gardens
- Ornamental lakes
- Grand staircases
- Heritage architecture
- Mature trees
- Expansive lawns
- The iconic Mansion Hotel
Because so many locations are within walking distance, you can spend more time celebrating with family and friends and less time travelling between photo locations.
Food and Beverage
Lancemore has built a strong reputation for its dining experiences, and weddings are no exception.
Wedding menus are prepared by experienced chefs using seasonal produce, with a range of food and beverage packages available depending on your preferred reception style.
Whether you’re planning a formal three-course dinner, shared feast or cocktail reception, the venue offers flexibility to tailor the menu to suit your celebration.
Stay the Night
One feature that makes Werribee Park particularly attractive is the opportunity to stay overnight.
The hotel offers 91 luxury guest rooms, allowing couples and many of their guests to remain on-site after the reception.
Guests can also enjoy:
- Joseph’s Restaurant
- L.M. Spa
- Heated indoor swimming pool
