5 Unique Dandenong Ranges Elopement Locations

In Victoria, Australia, the Dandenong Ranges are renowned for their gorgeous vistas and breathtaking natural beauty, making them the perfect location for an elopement wedding. Here are five breathtaking places in the Dandenong Ranges which we believe are perfect for an intimate elopement wedding:

  1. Alfred Nicholas Gardens

    This idyllic location for an elopement wedding is surrounded by beautiful gardens and serene lakes. A romantic setting ideal for exchanging vows is created by the gorgeous lake, lovely grass, and tall trees.

  2. SkyHigh Mount Dandenong

    is perched on top of the Dandenong Ranges and provides amazing panoramas over Melbourne and the surrounding area. It's a fantastic option for a special elopement wedding with its breathtaking landscapes, beautiful gardens, and sophisticated reception settings.

  3. The William Ricketts Sanctuary

    is a distinctive and alluring setting that houses an outdoor exhibition of sculptures tucked away in the surrounding landscape. The chapel has a serene, spiritual atmosphere that makes it the perfect location for a small, private elopement ceremony.

  4. Puffing Billy Railway

    The Puffing Billy Railway offers a fanciful location for an elopement wedding for couples wanting a hint of nostalgia and charm. Vows can be exchanged as the old steam train rolls through the lovely Dandenong Ranges.

  5. R.J. Hamer Arboretum

    Located on the Mount Dandenong slopes, the R.J. Hamer Arboretum provides spacious lawns, panoramic vistas, and a varied collection of local and foreign trees. This quiet setting offers a peaceful and unspoilt background for a private elopement ceremony.

Keep in mind to enquire about any particular guidelines or permits required for holding a wedding ceremony with each site. The below link is a step-by-step guide and a must read for anyone planning an Elopement In Melbourne & Victoria.
