We cannot recommend Lyrebird Falls highly enough! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was actually the first and only venue we looked at — we fell…

About Lyrebird Falls
Lyrebird Falls sits within the lush, evergreen forest of the Dandenong Ranges at Kallista, a short drive up the hills from Melbourne. Towering trees, lush ferns and running streams set the tone for the whole day, giving couples a genuinely green, sheltered backdrop rather than a conventional function-room setting.
The venue hosts only one event per day, so you and your guests enjoy exclusive access to the grounds and dining room from ceremony through to reception. That single-wedding model, paired with an award-winning team of on-site wedding coordinators, is what the venue leans on to keep the day relaxed and personal for parties of up to 120.
Couples can marry two ways on the property — beneath the garden gazebo or inside the chapel — before moving to the refurbished dining room, which opens onto views of the surrounding ferns and ranges. With flowers, menus, a wishing well and canapes already folded into the package, most of the styling is handled in-house so there's less to coordinate elsewhere.

The spaces
Chapel
Indoor ceremony
A stained-glass chapel named Best Ceremony Venue in Victoria two years running at the Australian Bridal Industry Awards. Mirrored walls amplify the natural light pouring through the stained glass, and it doubles as the wet-weather ceremony space.
Garden Gazebo
Outdoor ceremony
A delicately lit gazebo set in the forest, with an aisle of blue-stone pavers leading past a flowing waterfall and the lush fern backdrop of the Dandenongs.
Dining Room
70–120 guests
A refurbished indoor dining room for 70 to 120 guests, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass with views over the gardens, fernery and waterfall, and finished with handcrafted timber panelling and soft lighting.
Decking
Pre-dinner drinks
An expansive outdoor deck for pre-dinner drinks, opening off the dining room through bi-fold doors, with panoramic views across the well-lit landscaped gardens and the stars — a favourite spot for photos.
