Elopements & Micro Weddings
An intimate way to say I do.
The Grove is made for couples who want to strip things back and focus on what matters most - the ceremony, the food, the people and the setting. Set among olive groves and gardens in Gippsland, our venue offers a quietly luxurious backdrop for elopements and micro weddings, just beyond Melbourne.
Whether you’re planning a simple weekday elopement or a small, considered wedding with your closest people, The Grove offers an experience that feels elegant, unhurried and deeply personal.
elopements
Up to 10 guests
Our elopement offering is designed for couples seeking an intimate wedding experience - a ceremony followed by a long lunch or early dinner shared with a handful of loved ones. It’s relaxed and thoughtfully hosted, ideal for those drawn to the beauty of a country setting without the scale of a traditional wedding.
Elopements are available Monday to Thursday, with limited Friday or weekend availability.
Micro Weddings
Up to 20 guests
Micro weddings at The Grove capture the feeling of a full wedding day, distilled into something more intimate. With extra time to celebrate and space to savour each moment, it’s a refined yet relaxed way to host a small wedding surrounded by the people who matter most.
Micro weddings are available Monday to Thursday, with limited Friday or weekend availability.
Thoughtfully Taken Care Of
Both elopements and micro weddings at The Grove are guided by the same calm, considered approach. An on-site event coordinator supports you throughout the planning process and on the day, ensuring everything unfolds seamlessly.
Styling elements such as The Grove greenery, candles, printed menus and place cards are included, along with access to the bridal suite — allowing you to arrive, settle in and enjoy the day at your own pace.
At the Table
Food is central to every celebration at The Grove. Our dining experience is designed to bring people together — encouraging shared plates, long conversations and an easy rhythm from ceremony to celebration.
Menus are shaped by the seasons and delivered with warmth and generosity, creating a dining experience that feels indulgent yet unpretentious, and perfectly suited to intimate weddings and micro celebrations.
