You'll have a chance to congratulate the Bride and Groom before they head off to get photos.

Melbourne 

While we're off taking photos, here are a  few ways to enjoy our beautiful city before arriving at Rippon Lea at 5pm.  You might explore or grab a drink with some new friends, or both! Melbournians are used to fashion so feel free to wander in your tux or sparkles and no one will be surprised. You may even get a compliment from a friendly stranger!

- Try a famous Melbourne Roof top bar!  Fed Square & QT Hotel are iconic spots. Or try Cabinet Bar & Balcony for those who want a Melbourne secret bar (Just up from the town hall, across Little Collins st with the entrance at the rear of the building off the laneway)

​

- The Yarra River hosts a great range of venues and a beautiful spot for a stroll. Try Abory Afloat or Pony Fish Island.

​

- If you're wanting to get out of the CBD head to the Royce Hotel with street parking near by. This glorious old Rolls Royce building has been renovated into a stunning bar & hotel where your outfits will be perfectly at home!

​

- For those who want an activity, try Ballers Club house for Ping Pong or Shuffle board or The National Gallery and ACMI are great options for an afternoon visit. You can even catch the AFLW grand final in Fed Square.

​

Please see the Tips page for transport help for getting to the venue. Don't forget to be there for 5pm!

Rippon Lea Estate Pool-side

Pool-side, enjoy a cocktail, drinks and canapes fresh gelato served from lemons, have your wonderful outfit painted by a fashion illustrator, help us with our Sip 'n Solve, leave us an audio guestbook message, enjoy the lawn games or take the chance to stroll through the beautiful grounds.

Join us in the Rippon Lea ballroom for the reception (we'll get back to the pool for dancing later!)

Join us just on the dancefloor outside the Rippon Lea ballroom overlooking the pool some dancing and fun!

There is a flower wrapping station so you can take a small bunch home with you (vases need to stay). There are little bags for our cake, which  you, or your little ones may enjoy tomorrow. Also please help yourself to a Parasol if you'd like.

Unfortunately all good things come to an end, and our wedding reception will do so at 11pm.
