Flemington Events transforms world-famous Flemington Racecourse into one of Melbourne's most distinctive large wedding venues, spanning 127 hectares and 22 event spaces just seven kilometres from the CBD.
Couples can marry among the roses in the fragrant Rose Garden or on the sweeping Members Lawn, before moving into one of the precinct's grand reception spaces across The Hill Stand, The Club Stand and The Grandstand.

Comprehensive indoor and covered spaces provide genuine wet-weather protection across the precinct, while extensive parking and full accessibility support complex event logistics — a scale and sense of occasion that couples consistently highlight as Flemington's defining feature.
