Collingwood Children’s Farm

A Brief of the Collingwood Children’s Farm

Nestled in Collingwood, under 15 minutes away from the Melbourne CBD, the Collingwood Children’s Farm is your one-of-a-kind opportunity to say ‘I do’ on a farmland property without the hassle of travelling afar.

The Collingwood provides a rustic yet romantic backdrop for your Melbourne city wedding: the wedding ceremony will be held under the majestic century oak tree and the reception will be held either inside the Farm Café or the historic Barn House.

As a Melbourne city wedding photographer, I have fallen in love with this magical wedding venue since my first visit. What I truly love about the Collingwood Children’s Farm is the couple can also get some really candid wedding photos with the animals onsite. Being a not-for-profit farm park, the Collingwood Children’s Farm features all kind of wildlife including sheep and peacocks.

Weddings at the Collingwood Children’s Farm

The Collingwood Children’s Farm provides a beautiful rustic setting for your wedding while the couple will also be benefited from lots of options and inclusions. You could either say ‘I do’ under the Oak Tree or on the stables paddock. With its natural beauty, the Oak Tree remains as one of the most sought-after option for wedding ceremony, especially during summer as the big tree offers shade for the guests to sit under. After the wedding ceremony, the bar station on the side will also offer refreshment to the wedding party and guests.
Depending on your wedding size, your wedding reception can be held inside the Farm café, the Barn and if you are a lover of outdoor reception, the Stables Paddock can also be hired for the night celebration.

Carmen: The best wedding venue. Hands down. The team there was amazing, lovely and super accommodating! It was like whatever we wanted (within reason) was met and it exceeded my expectations. My in-laws were not super impressed with the venue but my husband and I fell in love with it the moment we visited the place. Plenty of lovely places for stunning wedding photographystunning wedding photography and the grand oak tree was just amazing. To get married under this old, old tree was memorable.
