Warrawong Estate is a privately owned country property of more than 185 acres, about 40 minutes west of Melbourne, hired for weddings and private celebrations. Its main reception space is a heritage woolshed. The outdoor ceremony area seats up to 100 guests. Couples and hosts choose their own caterer and bring their own drinks, with a team of event coordinators on hand.
Weddings and receptions
The estate offers several formats. Full weddings pair a ceremony in the grounds with a reception in the Woolshed. Micro weddings suit small, intimate gatherings. Elopements give couples privacy on the property with simple options such as acoustic music or a styling touch. Winter weddings, engagements and ceremony-only bookings are also listed. The Woolshed also hosts milestone birthdays, christenings and Christmas parties.
On the FAQ page, the estate sets out its timings. From Friday to Sunday the ceremony starts at 4 pm and the reception ends at 11:30 pm, with guests leaving by midnight. From Monday to Thursday the ceremony starts at 3 pm and the reception ends at 9:30 pm. Day weddings start at 10 am and end at 5:30 pm. The estate does not publish prices online, so ask for packages directly.
Rooms and capacities
The ceremony area seats up to 100 guests. The Woolshed is the reception space; the site does not state a seated or standing capacity for it, so confirm numbers for your layout when you enquire. The estate also has lawns, a fire pit and barrel tables outdoors, as described by couples who have married there.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on the estate. For overnight stays the venue recommends Punthill Apartments in Caroline Springs, which has rooms on site, can arrange a bus for an extra fee and offers a discount code for couples and guests. Buses are allowed on the property, and Uber or taxis come to the estate, though pre-booking is advised because of possible waits.
Catering
The estate does not run its own kitchen. Hosts choose any caterer that fits their event. Past events have included seated dining, cocktail service, food trucks, gelato vans and spit roasts. If you prefer a simpler route, the estate recommends Muse Events & Catering. You can also bring your own beverages, and the estate's bar staff serve them throughout the event, which helps you manage the drinks budget.
History and setting
The Woolshed was built in 1859 as a working woolshed and keeps its heritage character. The property sits in open countryside with wide views, and is described as privately owned. Its position west of Melbourne makes it a drive of about 40 minutes from the city.
Getting there
The estate is reached by road from Melbourne. Plan a car or bus for guests, because taxis and rideshares must be booked ahead. Ask the team for the exact address and parking arrangements when you enquire.
