Lancemore Macedon Ranges

A country hotel wedding venue on 274 acres in the Macedon Ranges

From the moment you turn into the driveway at Lancemore Macedon Ranges, the setting takes over. Sheep in the front paddock, kangaroos crossing the lawn, 274 acres of Australian bush stretching in every direction. Inside, sky-high ceilings with exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling glass framing the landscape, and the feel of a property that was purpose-built for private events and has been doing them well for over 34 years.

This is the Lancemore Group’s dedicated events hotel. 72 guest rooms, six flexible event spaces, a Halliday-rated vineyard producing Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Rosé, and an executive chef working with regional producers across the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region.

Sixty-five minutes from Melbourne CBD and 35 minutes from Tullamarine airport, if you have guests flying in.

Ceremony locations and reception spaces at Lancemore Macedon Ranges

Lancemore Macedon Ranges offers three outdoor ceremony settings, each with a different character.

Under the elm tree overlooking the property’s dam and vineyard is quintessential Australian beauty.

The Ned Kelly Look-Out gives you an elevated perspective across the whole estate.

And the Secret Garden offers a more formal, enclosed setting.

Indoor backup is available if the weather shifts.

Receptions are held in the hotel’s event spaces, with sit-down capacity of150 with a dance floor or 200 without. Cocktail-style celebrations go up to 400 with a dance floor or 450 without, making this one of the larger-capacity venues in the Macedon Ranges.

Food, wine and the full weekend at Lancemore Macedon Ranges

The kitchen sources from local and regional producers, with menus built around seasonal produce from the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region. Wines from the on-site vineyard sit alongside the broader list.

Most couples extend beyond the wedding day itself. Rehearsal dinners in one of the private dining spaces. A recovery brunch or picnic on the lawn the morning after. Walking tracks, an infinity pool and 72 guest rooms mean your guests are looked after without leaving the property.

Cost: Food and beverage packages from $155 per person.

Capacity: 150 seated with dance floor (200 without). 400 cocktail with dance floor (450 without).

Wedding styles that suit Lancemore Macedon Ranges

Lancemore Macedon Ranges suits couples who want a full-weekend celebration with hotel-level service in a country setting. The scale of the property, at 274 acres, with 72 rooms, and multiple event spaces, means it handles large guest lists without feeling cramped, while the landscape gives it a sense of seclusion that makes intimate celebrations work equally well.

The Lancemore Group’s long track record in hospitality (Lindenderry Red Hill, Mansion Hotel Werribee Park, Milawa, Cleveland Estate) is a credibility marker worth noting – this is a team that knows how to run a wedding weekend.

“We held our wedding here at Lancemore and wow. What a venue!! We are locals to the Macedon Ranges and wanted somewhere close to home that described our country lifestyle. Lancemore did exactly that.
The planning process from start to finish was amazing with the help of wedding coordinator Carla. She ensured that our dream day was made a reality. The food was amazing, we had all of our guests raving about it!
Thank you to Carla and the rest of the team for allowing us to have our dream wedding day at Lancemore.”
