Introducing Our Newest Chapter: Emu Bottom Homestead x Ever After Effect
At Ever After Effect, we’ve always believed that great weddings are built on storytelling, soul, and seamless coordination. So when the opportunity arose to work more closely with one of Victoria’s most iconic and historically rich properties — Emu Bottom Homestead — we knew it was the beginning of something truly special.
We’re proud to now officially manage weddings at The Epicurean Emu Bottom Homestead.
Nestled just outside of Sunbury, Emu Bottom is Victoria’s oldest homestead — a place where native gums tower, kangaroos graze at dusk, and every patch of land holds deep, cultural history. With rustic beauty, old-world charm, and space for both open-air ceremonies and long-table receptions under the stars, it’s the kind of venue that doesn’t need over-styling. It already tells a story.
And now, we’re here to help tell yours.
What changes with Ever After Effect managing the weddings?
Simply put — the experience becomes more personal, more cohesive, and more creatively supported.
When you book your wedding at Emu Bottom Homestead, you’ll be looked after by our in-house team — a collective of seasoned wedding coordinators and creatives who know the venue (and its possibilities) inside and out. There’s no back-and-forth with external suppliers or disconnected planning processes — just one passionate team walking with you from first enquiry to final farewell.
We manage everything from:
Planning & run sheets
On-the-day coordination
Option to work with our in-house Photography & Videography Team
Option to work with our in-house Floristry Team
Curated List of Recommended Suppliers
And if you have your own team or dream vendors in mind? Beautiful. We’re always happy to collaborate — we’re here to support your vision, not change it.
What remains the same?
Everything you’ve always loved about Emu Bottom Homestead is still at the heart of this experience. The incredible Epicurean Group will continue to deliver their signature grazing and shared-style menus, abundant in fresh, seasonal produce. The warmth, generosity, and excellence of their hospitality remain untouched — we’re simply adding another layer of care, connection, and creativity to ensure your wedding is as effortless as it is unforgettable. Think of it as – Epicurean is Venue & Catering, Ever After Effect is the Creative & Personal side of your wedding day.
Under Sky Weddings
There’s something undeniably magical about weddings held entirely onsite — ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception — all without needing to travel or disrupt the moment. Emu Bottom lends itself to that sense of flow and grounding. You can marry under a 300-year-old gum tree, toast at sunset, and dine beneath the stars — all within arm’s reach.
We’re here to make sure that vision is brought to life with love and intention.
We’d Love to Welcome You
If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels deeply personal, naturally beautiful, and lovingly managed by a team who gets it — we’d love to meet you.
Reach out to book a private consultation or RSVP for our next viewing day at Emu Bottom. We can't wait to welcome you onto this special land, and begin dreaming alongside you.
