Weddings at Hedge Farm

A UNIQUE RUSTIC WEDDING VENUE

Are you looking for a unique, rustic wedding venue?  Then have a look at what we offer.

Hedge Farm, a privately owned 20-acre property, is located in the beautiful country-side of Macedon ranges – half way between Woodend and Kyneton. First settled in the 1830’s it was once known as Rockhill.  

Today, the farm is available for hire for intimate weddings, receptions, private functions, and other events.

COUNTRY GARDENS

The reception areas are surrounded by lush green gardens. Many couples choose to have their wedding ceremony in the main garden, which changes from season to season. 

Spring time, which spans from September to November is a beautiful time of the year in Macedon Ranges. The weather over these months is still cold. Ceremonies in the gardens are appealing as flowers and buds emerge.

The summer months from December to February is the most popular time for outdoor weddings with warm to hot days and balmy summer evenings.

Autumn is a particularly gorgeous season with the trees changing from green to stunning golds, reds and oranges.

Garden wedding packages include guest seating, signing table and arbor.

LITTLE CHAPEL GALLERY

In cooler months and times of inclement weather the Little Chapel Gallery can seat up to 80 guests. This space can be styled to suit individual needs.

THE OLD BARN AND ROCKHILL STABLES

For the reception couples have the option of The Old Barn or Rockhill Stables.  (No need for marquees).

The Old Barn is better suited to more intimate weddings with seating for up to 40 guests and up to 70 cocktail style. With stone fire-place and rustic timber beams it is also ideal for winter weddings. 

Rockhill Stables is over 100 years old and was used to house Clydesdale horses when Hedge Farm was an expansive property. It has recently been refurbished to seat up to 90 guests (without a dance floor) and smaller numbers with a dance floor. For cocktail style (or more casual) gatherings the stables can accommodate up to 100.

Both spaces have their own fully stocked bar.
