European Elegance in Melbourne’s West
RealWeddings Guide
White Night Receptions is a large, purpose-built Indian wedding venue in Maidstone, designed in a contemporary European-palace style with polished marble foyers, crystal chandeliers and a signature black, white and champagne palette.
Four distinct rooms — from the intimate Balcony Room to the combined Grand Ballroom — scale from 90 to 600 seated guests, giving couples genuine flexibility for large, multi-part cultural celebrations.
Two private courtyards, the Secret Garden and Gallery Courtyard, support onsite ceremonies with a permanent indoor alternative for wet weather.
A venue-hire-only option, with approved external catering, gives couples the freedom to bring in a specialist Indian caterer, while upgradeable gold Tiffany chairs, a grand piano, French-provincial fireplace and generous dance floors suit the extended music, dancing and multiple ceremonial elements common to Indian weddings.
Flexible supplier bump-in and bump-out, private bridal preparation rooms, and onsite parking round out a venue built for exactly this kind of large-scale, multi-function celebration — a flexibility couples and testimonials consistently highlight.
