When it comes to wedding venues, some places feel timeless. Epicurean Emu Bottom is one of those rare spaces — where history, nature, and celebration weave together to create something unforgettable.
Located in Sunbury, Emu Bottom is Victoria’s oldest homestead, established in 1836. Its heritage is woven into every beam, stone, and sweeping view. Yet what makes this venue extraordinary isn’t just its history — it’s the way it welcomes modern love stories while honouring the spirit of the land. Here, you’re not just hosting a wedding; you’re writing your chapter into the long story of this place.
The property offers a mix of rustic character and contemporary comfort. Think soaring timber beams, stone fireplaces, and sprawling lawns framed by ancient gum trees.
Every space tells its own story — whether you’re exchanging vows under the wide country sky, sharing a feast inside one of the historic buildings, or dancing into the night surrounded by candlelight and laughter.
What couples love most about Epicurean Emu Bottom is its versatility. The property has a rhythm that suits both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. You can host your entire day onsite — from your ceremony under the eucalypts, to cocktail hour on the lawns, through to a reception filled with incredible food and wine. No need to shuffle guests from one location to another; the flow is natural, seamless, and relaxed.
Food and wine, of course, sit at the heart of the Epicurean experience. With our team’s deep ties to the region, menus are designed seasonally and celebrate the best of local produce.
Whether it’s a lavish shared feast or a more tailored dining experience, the philosophy remains the same: meals should feel abundant, generous, and central to the celebration. Pair that with thoughtfully curated wines and you’ve got the makings of a reception that feels warm, full, and joyfully unpretentious.
Beyond the food, it’s the feeling of this place that stays with you. There’s a cinematic quality to a sunset spilling across the paddocks, the sound of laughter carrying under the gum trees, or the flicker of firelight as the night deepens. Epicurean Emu Bottom feels both grounded and magical — a space that invites you to celebrate with depth, connection, and joy.
And perhaps the most exciting part? Weddings here start from $16,000, making it not only an exceptional venue but one that allows you to shape the celebration you’ve always envisioned. With everything onsite and a dedicated team ensuring the day flows beautifully, couples can focus on what really matters: soaking up every moment.
