Why have your ceremony here?

First things first, it's important to know that Village Green in Maribyrnong is a public park, not a private wedding venue. If you're keen to tie the knot there, you'll need to sort out a permit with the City of Maribyrnong first.

With that out of the way, here are 5 reasons why a couple might choose this spot for their big day:

Stunning Scenery. The park is a beautiful, natural setting with sloping lawns that lead down to the Maribyrnong River. With a charming rotunda and plenty of green space, it offers a picturesque backdrop for a ceremony and fantastic wedding photos.
It's Budget-Friendly. Compared to expensive, all-inclusive wedding venues, a public park ceremony is a much more affordable option. While there's a permit fee, it's a small price to pay for such a lovely location, leaving you with more money for the honeymoon or other expenses.
Total Flexibility. As a public space, you're not locked into a venue's list of suppliers. This gives you the freedom to choose your own vendors—from the florist to the decorator—allowing you to create a truly personalised wedding that fits your unique style and vision.
It's Easy for Everyone. The park is located on Central Park Avenue and is easy for guests to get to. The well-maintained footpaths, open space, and nearby amenities make it a convenient and comfortable spot for a relaxed ceremony.
A Meaningful Local Connection. If you and your partner have a connection to the Maribyrnong area, getting married at Village Green can be a special way to celebrate your love in a place that's part of your community. It's a spot you can revisit for years to come and reminisce about your wedding day.
