Coombe Yarra Valley is a historic estate in the Yarra Valley, once home to Dame Nellie Melba. Couples marry in an Italian garden or beneath an oak believed to be over 180 years old, then dine with up to 150 guests.
Weddings at Coombe are set on the historic estate that was once home to Dame Nellie Melba, in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Manicured gardens and century-old oak trees surround the buildings, and the restaurant looks over the historic Melba Garden, designed by William Guilfoyle. The Italian Garden is one of the estate's most iconic ceremony spaces, a secluded, European-style garden framed by sculpted hedges and pencil pines, which can be styled with floral installations or left natural. The oak tree is believed to be over 180 years old, and its sprawling branches give an open-air ceremony dappled light, with easy access to the surrounding gardens and reception spaces.
Receptions are held in the main dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the gardens; it holds up to 150 guests and has a dedicated indoor dance floor. The estate's maximum capacity is 150 guests, including the couple and their wedding party. A dedicated wedding coordinator liaises with vendors in the lead-up and on the day, and couples have exclusive use of the estate, no earlier than 4:00pm on the wedding day. Tables are dressed in white linen with printed menus, and a workbench is set aside for the wedding cake and champagne tower, which the chef cuts and serves. Couples can also join the restaurant for lunch to sample dishes from the seasonal wedding menu.
