Aesthetic And Vibes

Dromana Estate is an ideal location if you’re after a “blank canvas” wedding. It provides you with areas that you can truly customise and tailor to fit you specifically.

That doesn’t mean the spaces offered are bland or unloved – far from it. The venue is full of exposed beams, concrete floors and cosy lights, to name just a few ways Dromana Estate presents itself. All of these features make for absolutely awesome Dromana Estate wedding photography!

Indoor And Outdoor Options

Dromana Estate has three usable areas for different parts of your big day. Up first, The Stables feature giant barn doors, an awesome pergola on the outside and oozes that refined rustic feel that we always look for. Exactly the kind of backdrop I look for as a Dromana Estate wedding videographer.

The museum is another bigger space available to you that features a casual 5.5km of fairy lights hung from the ceiling. Those 46,500 lights make the perfect moody atmosphere for the reception and keep things cosy if the weather gets a bit nippy.

Finally, you have the option of having your wedding outside. With over 140km of stunning scenery including vineyards and rolling hills, this is a wonderful option if the weather looks nice. All of these areas culminate together to make for incredibly unique and beautiful Dromana Estate wedding videography.

Accommodation

Dromana Estate doesn’t provide on-site accommodation, but there are a whole host of local options available to you. Whether you’re looking for understated and refined or ‘turn it up to 11’ style luxury, Mornington Peninsula has ideal accommodation options for you.

If you’re looking for a venue with the rustic vibe but with accommodations to host your guests from far off, then I recommend heading to A Charming Secret Garden: Tanglewood Estate Wedding Venue. Explore this option and weigh your choices!
