Not every couple wants a grand ballroom filled with hundreds of guests. Some love stories are best celebrated with the people who matter most, in a setting with real warmth and character. Finding an intimate wedding venue in Melbourne with genuine privacy, beautiful surroundings and a team invested in every detail is rarer than most couples expect. Ballara Receptions sits on a private estate in Eltham, 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD, hosting one wedding at a time. Our gardens, chapel, lakeside spaces and chandelier-lit ballroom accommodate between 60 and 160 guests. Visit Ballara Receptions and experience the estate for yourself.
