Why Should You Consider It?

As a seasoned Dromana Estate wedding photographer, this place feels like a beautiful collaboration between the old and the new. One thing that sets this venue apart from the rest is absolutely incredible wine and surrounding vineyards.

The wedding venue at Dromana Estate shares the property with the original winery that has been operating since 1982. They’ve been creating exquisite wine which has helped to solidify Mornington Peninsula’s place as one of the top wine regions in the world. Couple that with amazing food, epic views and one-of-a-kind buildings, and you’ve got yourself a stunning wedding venue.

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.

Packages

Dromana Estate offers several packages for you to choose from. The “Ceremony Only” package costs $950 and includes all the added extras you’d need. They also offer a ‘Post Ceremony Hour’ package which, for a set amount per person, includes drinks, cocktails and even food.

The reception packages – starting from $165 per person with a minimum spend of $12,000 – include the finest food and drinks, your choice of venue area and a HUGE menu to choose from depending on the style of your wedding.

If you love the idea of a “blank canvas” wedding venue with stunning grounds, world-class wine and food, and where the staff will collaborate with your vendors to make sure the space is unique to your requirements, Dromana Estate might be a perfect choice.
