Lindzay & Andrew’s Garden-to-Ballroom Celebration

Lindzay & Andrew imagined a wedding filled with moody romance, and Rippon Lea brought that vision to life. From the proposal in St Kilda’s rose gardens to a fairy-lit Pool Terrace reception, their day was full of personal, meaningful moments.

A colour palette of deep reds and soft pastels added emotion and warmth to the setting, while standout catering and a surprise gelato cart left guests raving.

The result? One unforgettable celebration surrounded by beauty, history, and love.

What our clients say about Rippon Lea Estate

We would love to recognise Rebecca for her outstanding attentiveness, support and patience with us throughout the entire planning process of our wedding. Every vision and idea we had, she helped us bring to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding producer. She was perfect!

Olivia & Mitchell

Showtime Events really made our wedding day so special and memorable. Being assigned our personal wedding coordinator, Rose, made planning so much less stressful and it was amazing to work with someone who was just as excited for our wedding as we were! We were so pleased with the service of the staff on our wedding night, the food and drinks were great and there were so many package inclusions that really made our whole night so worthwhile.

Natasha & Tristan

Our reception at Rippon Lea Estate was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. The venue is absolutely stunning and gave us the perfect vintage glam vibes we were after. The food was incredible, the drinks flowed all night, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it all. Every detail was beautifully executed, and the staff were so warm and welcoming throughout the night. If we had to do it all over again, we honestly wouldn’t change a thing.

Tess & Alex

The best day of our lives and showtime were great help. We’re glad both the venue hire and catering were all managed by Showtime and the day went seamlessly.

Jenny & Nathan

Absolutely amazing wedding venue! It is so gorgeous; the ballroom and pool terrace are perfect for your reception and the grounds are perfect for the ceremony. We had 85 guests and it was the perfect amount of room. There’s a Jacaranda tree on the main lawn in case you want to plan your ceremony around when it’s in bloom! We had our wedding in January and it was perfect. Definitely recommend and would host our wedding there again in a heartbeat.

Adrian H.

Rippon Lea Estate truly is the most romantic, beautiful venue for a Wedding. My partner and I really love its old-world charm and it provided the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. The space is so elegant that we really didn’t need to add much to it at all, it’s already stunning and wedding-ready. With so many areas for photos in the ballroom and in the surrounding gardens. The food is incredible and the staff went above and beyond in helpful us create our dream day!
