Your Reception Space: Our dreamy Clear-View Marquee

Your versatile space - to make yours

When it comes to creating a wedding that feels truly your own, the right reception space makes all the difference.

At Mewburn Park, our stunning 25 x 10 metre clear-view marquee offers a beautiful and incredibly versatile setting for your wedding reception. It can be transformed to suit your vision, whether you're planning an intimate celebration with your closest people or a big, beautiful party under the stars.

And while the marquee itself is pretty special, it's the setting around it that really makes it something different.

A Blank Canvas in the middle of everything

Tucked within our picturesque Homestead Gardens, the clear-view marquee feels like a secluded escape while still being right in the heart of the Mewburn Park estate.

Through the clear walls, your guests can take in views of the lush gardens, our iconic historic brick stables, the old dairy, distant mountain ranges and tranquil lagoons.

The clear walls and peaked roof allow the outdoors to become part of your reception. During the day, the space is filled with natural light, while as the afternoon fades, the marquee comes alive with golden hour light before transforming into a beautiful setting beneath the stars.

It's a country wedding setting that feels elegant and relaxed at the same time — surrounded by nature, history and the beauty of Gippsland.

Styled with Comfort and Charm

Our marquee isn't just a pretty face.

It's designed to make your wedding day comfortable, too, with polished concrete flooring, ceiling fans, electric heaters for cooler evenings and more than 1,000 fairy lights creating a warm glow as the sun goes down.

Dimmable festoon lighting allows you to change the atmosphere as the evening progresses, while the expansive outside deck gives guests another place to mingle, enjoy a drink or soak up those beautiful golden hour moments.

And yes, we're going to talk about toilets.

It might not be the most glamorous wedding detail, but having beautifully maintained toilets just a few steps from the marquee is something your guests will genuinely appreciate!

There's also ample power throughout the space, making it easy to accommodate DJs, live bands, entertainment and all of your feature lighting and styling ideas.

Room to Move – and Make it Yours

One of the things we love most about our clear-view marquee is its flexibility.

The marquee comfortably seats up to 130 guests, with larger seated celebrations of up to 160 possible by request. For cocktail-style weddings, it can accommodate up to 180 guests.

Our included furniture — light-toned timber tables, classic white chairs and lounges for the smoking area — provides a beautiful foundation that works with all sorts of wedding styles.

Think modern country luxe.

Garden party chic.

Elegant and understated.

Or something completely and wonderfully you.

And the best part, it’s all included in your venue hire, you do not need to lift a finger.

And here's where the real versatility comes in.

Our bar and fridge can be repositioned to suit your preferred layout. Want the dancefloor in the centre? Easy. A beautiful grazing table in the corner? Absolutely. A dedicated lounge area where guests can relax? We can make it work.

The space adapts around your plans rather than asking you to fit your wedding around a fixed layout.

An intimate marquee wedding or a big celebration

Not every wedding needs 130 guests.

If you're planning something smaller, our elegant white chiffon backdrop can be used to visually reduce the size of the marquee, creating a warmer and more intimate atmosphere.

It means the same beautiful reception space can work for celebrations from around 20 guests through to much larger weddings.

Because the perfect wedding venue isn't necessarily the one that tells you exactly how your wedding should look.

It's the one that gives you enough flexibility to create it your way.

A space that grows with your wedding day

From the quiet moments before your guests arrive to your big entrance, the first dance, dinner, speeches and all the dancing that follows, our clear-view marquee is designed to grow with the rhythm of your wedding day.

It can be calm and intimate during dinner, transform into a dancefloor as the evening gets going, and open out onto the deck as guests wander between the marquee and the gardens.

It's not simply a reception space.

It's the backdrop to the part of your wedding where everyone comes together.

Your country wedding, your way

A beautiful marquee is wonderful. But what makes a wedding at Mewburn Park truly special is everything that surrounds it.

Your guests arrive at a private 23-acre country estate in Gippsland, wander through historic gardens, enjoy drinks beneath the old trees and celebrate together in our clear-view marquee, with the historic homestead, brick stables, old dairy, gardens, lagoons and mountain views creating the backdrop.

There's room to make the day completely your own — elegant without being formal, beautifully considered without feeling stiff.

And that's really what we love about weddings at Mewburn Park.

It's your wedding, your people, your personality — with a little bit of country luxury thrown in.

So if you're looking for a country wedding venue in Gippsland, a beautiful marquee wedding venue in Victoria, or a private country estate wedding venue within easy reach of Melbourne, we'd love to show you around.

Come for the marquee. Stay for the setting.

And leave with a wedding that feels completely, unmistakably you.
