From the moment we visited Potters, we knew it was where we wanted to get married! All of our guests raved about the food and service on the day, and the team were an absolute dream to work with. Everything ran so smoothly - a special shout out to Trillian, Amalia, and Sheila, who were so helpful and patient with all of our questions. We truly appreciate everything you did to make our day so special!

The Potters Reception offers three unique locations for wedding ceremonies which are the elegant chapel, garden as well as the wisteria-draped courtyard. While the chapel offers a backup indoor venue for wedding ceremonies in case of rainy weather, the wisteria courtyard remains one of the most popular wedding ceremony locations within the Potters Reception: with rustic wine barrel set on both sides of the arch, the wisteria on top of the courtyard not only provides a little shade during the summer for the guest but also offers a natural greenery backdrop for the wedding ceremony.
Potters Reception Reviews
If you’re still looking for a venue for your wedding in the Yarra Valley look no further than Potters Receptions! We had our beautiful early June winter wedding there and it was absolutely stunning. The grounds there are beautiful and it is a true testament to the work their groundskeepers must put in to it daily to ensure it is always looking 100%!From the moment we walked in for our initial tour we felt the warmth and kindness from all staff members. The reception area, courtyard, chapel, gallery, penthouse and accomodation were all flawless. We knew straight away that this was the venue for us and we absolutely loved it!On the wedding day we had our own wedding coordinator provided by Potters that ensured everything ran smoothly from the timing of the ceremony right through to the final goodbye. The bridal party got ready on site in the gorgeous penthouse with access from 10am and they even included a large nibbles platter while hair and make up were being done.All of our guests raved about the food and service! The gnocchi and the lamb shank were particular highlights. The in house photo booth was a hit, as was the candy bar that they set up with the lollies we provided.The accommodation on the grounds was lovely and a great place to stay for the night. They even put together a little platter with some of our wedding cake and champagne for us in our room. I 100% recommend Potters for your wedding if you’re looking for a venue that already has so many amazing facilities on site. Thank you Potters for making our wedding day absolutely magical! ❤️👰♀️🤵♂️
The most beautiful venue and the attention to detail by the staff was 10/10. We were so happy with everything from start to finish. Trillian, Vanessa, Sheila and Claude were so accommodating and nothing was ever too much for them. Thank you for an amazing wedding!
Potters is such a beautiful venue in the Yarra Valley, and we were so glad to have chosen it for our winter wedding. The indoor options were perfect for the season, and we received so many compliments from our guests about both the stunning setting and the quality of the food.Trillian and the team were wonderful to deal with as they are always responsive and helpful with any questions I had. I really wanted a piano at the reception, and they were extremely accommodating. They even coordinated with the piano delivery so it could be set up the day before (as there was no wedding), allowing me time to practise and familiarise myself. On the wedding day, Vanessa was there supporting us and, to our surprise, produced the most beautiful Instagram reels the very next day, which we absolutely loved.One tip I would share with couples planning here is to never assume anything, always ask if you’re unsure. For example, we had an early morning wedding and hoped to use the Potters gallery for some groom shots two hours before the ceremony. As per the contract, this wasn’t allowed unless we paid an additional charge of $500 which was exorbitant. The planning team were great at clarifying details like this when we asked, which we really appreciated.Overall, Potters is a stunning venue with a fantastic team, and we’d highly recommend.
