All-in-one Wedding Venue

What to Look for in an All-in-One Wedding Venue

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but choosing an all-in-one wedding venue simplifies the process. It’s possible for a venue to combine everything you need – ceremony spaces (including outdoor gardens), multiple reception options, your salon service and on-site accommodation such as executive suites into one convenient location.

Couples love all-in-one venues for their convenience, reduced travel, and seamless experience. By hosting every element of your day in one place, you save on transport costs and avoid juggling several service providers. For Melbourne couples exploring Preston wedding venues, this option offers flexibility with multiple spaces to suit your style – whether intimate, large, or somewhere in between.

Why Choose an All-in-One Wedding Venue?

An all-in-one venue means ultimate convenience for you and your guests. Everyone can park, stay overnight, dine, and celebrate without leaving the property.

Planning becomes stress-free with a dedicated team managing accommodation, dining, and event logistics. From your first enquiry to on-the-day coordination, you’ll have one central point of contact ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Plus, there’s no awkward gap between the ceremony and the reception. Guests can flow straight from “I do” to the celebration or freshen up in their room in between or grab a drink at The Stampton bar, all without leaving.

Key Things to Look For in an All-in-One Venue

Ceremony and Reception Spaces

Flexibility is key. At Novotel Melbourne Preston, The Gardens offers an indoor space framed by a lush outdoor garden and a central tree – perfect for garden-party style ceremonies or elopements.

For large guest lists, The Market Ballroom is ideal, featuring a private entry foyer, direct carpark access, private bar, and seating for 200+ guests. Smaller celebrations? The Courtyards provide an intimate atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private foyer for pre-reception mingling.

Styling options are endless. Our spaces are a blank canvas with tables, linens, and chairs provided. Add lounge furniture or high tables, then let your imagination run wild whether glamorous or fun.

Extra perks include an on-site salon for bridal hair and makeup, in-room dining for early-morning coffee runs, and even a sauna to relax before the big day. And with Melbourne’s unpredictable weather, indoor backup spaces ensure your event goes ahead rain or shine.

Onsite Accommodation for the Wedding Night

Skip the post-reception travel and head straight upstairs. On-site rooms make bridal party prep easy in the early hours of the day and save time between each part of your day.

Our Executive Suites are the ultimate indulgence, featuring rooftop balconies, spacious living areas, and expansive views. Our guests staying in an executive suite will enjoy upgraded amenities like Purezza water, wine and chocolates on arrival, bathrobes, slippers, and a dining discount at The Stampton restaurant. A perfect gift from us to the bridal couple!

We offer all-inclusive packages covering room hire, AV, catering, and beverages. Customise menus and beverage options to suit your budget and preferences. Our experienced coordinators ensure smooth communication and on-the-day assistance across all departments – food, rooms, and accommodation—so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
