A Riverside Celebration in the Heart of Melbourne
RealWeddings Guide
Hidden inside Federation Square's Riverside Birrarung building, Victoria by Farmer's Daughters is a distinctive riverfront venue looking directly over the Yarra in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.
The all-weather Terrace — covered, heated and lined with greenery — brings the river to life with its own outdoor bar, while the glass-fronted Main Dining Room extends the same outlook indoors with warm timber finishes.
Couples can marry riverside in Victoria Square, with Federation Square and the Yarra as a backdrop, before moving to the Terrace or Main Dining Room for a reception of up to 100 seated or 250 reception-style under whole-venue exclusive hire.
Executive Chef Alejandro Saravia leads an entirely in-house kitchen built around Victorian produce, growers and makers, pairing seasonal shared menus with Victorian wine, beer and spirits — a food-first philosophy couples consistently highlight, alongside warm, attentive event coordination.
