An Exquisite Waterfront Celebration

A serene setting for elegant, unforgettable celebrations

Tucked away on the edge of the Yarra River, The Garden Room at Leonda By The Yarra is designed for couples seeking an intimate wedding celebration with refined style, personal service and a naturally stunning backdrop. This is Melbourne’s best-kept secret for elegant weddings of 60 to 130 guests, a riverside haven where garden serenity meets effortless sophistication.

As your guests arrive, they’ll be welcomed into a peaceful, private courtyard surrounded by manicured hedges, willow trees, and the gentle sound of water. It’s the perfect setting for pre-ceremony drinks or post-‘I do’ canapés. Then, when the doors open, the celebration flows into a warm and inviting reception space flooded with natural light and surrounded by nature on three sides.

Inside, The Garden Room is a true blank canvas, bright and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling windows, luxe finishes, and uninterrupted views of the riverbanks. The flexible layout allows you to shape the space around your vision, with the option to position your dance floor, head table and styling elements wherever feels most ‘you’. Whether you’re dreaming of golden hour portraits or candlelit speeches, this room transforms beautifully from day to night.

Every detail of your reception is handled by our experienced team, from expert coordination to premium seasonal menus crafted by our in-house chefs. With over 20 years of trusted service, Leonda By The Yarra delivers not just a wedding venue, but an unforgettable experience.

Let’s bring your wedding to life in a space that’s intimate, thoughtful and truly yours.
