About Poet's Lane Receptions
Poet's Lane Receptions sits on a plateau in the Dandenong Ranges at Sherbrooke, framed by mature gardens, perimeter sequoia trees and seasonal foliage, with direct access to Sherbrooke Forest from the property. It is a garden setting built for a single celebration at a time — the venue hosts just one wedding each day, so the grounds and rooms belong to you and your guests alone.
Couples can exchange vows two ways. The chapel seats up to 160 beneath spectacular stained-glass windows that wash the room in natural light and colour, lit further by three crystal chandeliers; it also doubles as the wet-weather ceremony space. Outdoors, the garden gazebo sits under European trees, with an aisle that can lead past a waterfall, over a bridge or under an oak, finishing beneath a fairy-lit archway.
From ceremony the day moves to an elegant dining room that overlooks the gardens, where Poet's Lane is known for its food and warm hospitality. The venue's planners and coordinators work alongside you to shape the running of the day, curating the details so the celebration unfolds without fuss. Explore more wedding venues in Victoria.
