Your Entire Dream Wedding Day All In One Stunning Yarra Valley Location
When it comes to planning your dream wedding, working closely with an expert wedding team who can assist in simplifying and creating a seamless flow throughout your entire day can make all the difference! That’s why choosing a venue that you can hold your ceremony, access multiple photo locations, and host your reception all in one location is the perfect way to create a stress-free, memorable day for you and your guests. At Rochford Wines, a renowned Yarra Valley Winery Wedding Venue, we offer couples this very experience with our acres of breathtaking landscapes and vineyards, versatile ceremony and reception options, and dedicated wedding team ensuring every detail is covered.
The Seamless Experience of a Single Location Wedding
Imagine starting your day with your bridal party, at a beautiful rented house in Yarra Valley, feeling excited and super relaxed being surrounded by nature and breathtaking landscapes, then having just a short, convenient ride to your gorgeous wedding venue where you & your guests will spend the rest of your day and night. From your heartfelt ceremony, you will transition effortlessly to your stunning photoshoot, capturing gorgeous photos on-site, whilst your guests will enjoy a cocktail hour, then you will all come back together and finish the evening with a celebration in an elegant reception space—all without needing to move more than 200 metres. If you decide to opt for a ‘first look’ and photos before your ceremony instead of the traditional way, this will also flow perfectly. Arriving at the venue earlier for your photos means you can relax and take your time, then begin your ceremony and walk straight to your reception space with each of your guests with everything already in place.
This structure of your wedding day not only saves time, but eliminates the logistical hassles of coordinating transport, keeping your guests comfortable and focused on the most important aspect, which is spending quality time and celebrating the day with you!
