Swallowfield Vineyards
Melbourne Dj Hire and our photobooth company sent a Melbourne Dj and an enclosed photobooth to a wedding at Swallowfield Vineyards. It was the first time we had worked at this stunning venue and it sure was charming with all the vineyards, well maintained gardens and rustic barn buildings.
Swallowfield is located on the east side of Melbourne in a town called Gembrook, about an hour and a half from the CBD. It is relatively close to the freeway but there will need to be some driving by the scenic mountains of Dandenong.
The venue is held very close to the forest and also has a couple of farm paddocks nearby and of course, there are a few fields of vineyards. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around and more importantly a lot of options for photography backgrounds.
The reception venue is actually held inside a barn type of building and the large barn doors could be opened up to look onto the farm paddocks. The venue comfortably seated 80 guests and there was a lot of space for the couple and bridal party to take their photos. This wedding was held on a warm yet cool autumn day in Melbourne and the half outdoor indoor set up was perfect. If you are holding a winter event the barn could work just as well with the door closed and the fireplace raring.
The ceremony was also held on the property and the bride could get ready and make her entrance through a charming cottage overlooking the ceremony space. The ceremony also has a stunning tall forest as a backdrop. Swallowfield vineyards also has some vineyards and vines where couple can get their photos taken.
So if you are looking to book a wedding in the outta regions of Melbourne, then Swallowfield Vineyards is worth looking at. There are so many places where you could take photos and so much space for guests to move around and explore.
