Ten acres of formal English gardens, a 19th-century heritage-listed mansion, and ninety-one guest rooms, Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park operates on a breathtaking scale. It’s grand without being stiff, close enough to Melbourne to be accessible, and removed enough to feel like you’ve been transported away from the everyday. For couples planning a larger celebration who still want everyone under one roof, it’s hard to look past.
The property sits alongside the historic Chirnside Mansion, with the heritage gardens forming the backdrop for ceremonies, photos, and pre-reception drinks.
Three reception spaces cover a wide range of guest numbers. The Pavilion holds up to 120 seated with dance floor (150 cocktail). The Theatre takes up to 110 seated with dance floor (200 cocktail). And the Marquee is the large-format option — up to 180 seated with dance floor or 400 cocktail-style. Indoor and outdoor ceremonies are both available, and the Pavilion Lawn works for outdoor receptions or canapés.
Seasonal menus built around locally sourced produce, paired with wine from the estate’s own James Halliday five-star rated winery. The food offering flexes across styles, sit-down, shared, or cocktail, and a dedicated wedding team manages the details from planning through to the night.
Food and beverage packages start from $189 per person.
Ninety-one guest rooms across three room types mean your full guest list can stay on-site, and every couple receives a complimentary night in a luxurious hotel room after the reception. There’s also a day spa on the property for pre-wedding prep or a morning-after wind-down.
Cost: From $189pp
Capacity: 110–220 seated depending on space (up to 400 cocktail)
Ceremony options: Indoor and outdoor
Mansion Hotel suits couples planning a larger celebration who want the flexibility to scale up, from an intimate reception to a 400-guest marquee event, with heritage grounds, a five-star winery, and enough rooms that no one needs to leave.
“From the moment we started exploring venues, the team at Lancemore made everything so smooth and stress free. The little details, the genuine care, and the support from the staff made everything so easy and enjoyable. It has always been our favourite place, and getting to celebrate our wedding there has made it even more special.”
