Craignair is a heritage estate in Mount Macedon, about 50 minutes' drive from Melbourne, set on 10 acres of established gardens around a Victorian-era main house dating from the 19th century. Couples hire the grounds and a permanent clear-span marquee, bring in their own caterers, drinks and suppliers, can hold the ceremony in the gardens or along an elm avenue, and can house some guests in cottages on the property.

Ten acres of old gardens, an elm avenue for the ceremony and a permanent marquee. You bring your own caterer and suppliers, so it suits couples who want to shape every detail, with cottages for those closest to you.
