Tatra Receptions is my favourite wedding venue to perform in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs because of its scenery, and it has 2 amazing grand pianos that are available to be played during the wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour!

Carpet needs to change. They smell mouldy. My husband got asthma and was unable to sleep.
Amazing venue with awesome leadership team in Andrew and Chloe. I've included some photos of the awesome photo locations that exist around Tatra - look at that heavenly light which is super rare in the Dandenongs!We've photographed/filmeds Western, Asian, European and Indian weddings at Tatra - it's a very versatile space, beautiful photo spots, both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, spacious interior space and friendly staff!

Staff are not very well organised. No wifi in rooms + no reception in 2024 was like a time warp. Maybe ideal place to stay if you are 60+

my Partner and I got married in March 2024 at Tatra. From the moment we arrived we fell in love with the venue. The grounds were stunning and the staff were amazing. Nothing was an issue, they were very helpful in accomodating anything we were after. The day ran smoothly and the food was delicious. If i could give 10 stars then I would. Highly Highly recommed.

Lovely venue setting, guest were happy, and some of the office team were lovely particularly Emily. The food was good but one of my guests said that they didn't offer water during cashbar period and overall I have to say that we didn't have a great experience working with this venue.My experience as bride / wedding couple was disappointing when it came to dealing with their processes for management and planning. I don't think this was really the fault of the team members but rather a systemic issue.There were Wasps in the bridal room, and the coordinator showed up but didn't know what was going on and I think the main thing that disapointed me was a lack of communication leading up to the day. I didn't feel their process allowed for enough attention to detail. Particularly on their run sheet and it didn't have much flexibility. When I tried to organized an in person meeting to make it easier, I felt unwelcome, and the person who was going to meet with me hadn't shown up. There was just an ongoing feeling of indifference, complacency, and I felt like just another paycheck to them.For a "Premium" wedding venue as they like to claim I'd say that they didnt follow through with what I'd expect from a venue like this.A shame really because there is so much to love about the gardens and we had a great team of vendors that made our day special.

We had our wedding at Tatra Receptions in Dec, 2023 and it was everything we imagined it would be! Andrew, Dearna and the staff were so helpful in making sure our day went smoothly as possible. It was forecasted for rain during the outside ceremony but we didn't want to make the call on moving it inside until as late as possible and they were so understanding and prepared to move things around if needed. Our wedding day & night went to a tee and it was all possible because the staff at Tatra made it so easy!

Beautiful venue. The grounds are gorgeous. Not mobility friendly and a lot of walking required. The food was lovely and the timing and service was great.

From our initial enquiry, to our wedding day, Tatra had been nothing short of INCREDIBLE. Communication was amazing no matter how many silly questions I had, the staff were always super friendly and helpful. The gardens are unlike anything we could have imagined and made us feel like we were in a fairytale. The wedding day was run without a single slip up thanks to the amazing staff and wedding coordinator Rachel. We had the best night of our lives & we want to thank Tatra for the amazing service!

Beautiful location up in the hills. Plenty of space for large functions/weddings. There were 180 people at the wedding I attended. A bit of a trip from the western suburbs, but worth it.

Had an amazing wedding, great communication throughout the planning process. On the day itself it was raining, but with some effort from staff and some luck, we dried the seats for an outdoor ceremony. Food was loved by all and there were no issues, overall running smoothly throughout the entire night.However, the day before the wedding we were told that the music system was outdated and many of the speakers did not work. As we did not have a DJ or band playing, this was a slight issue, as sound quality of the music lacked.We would ask Tatra to invest in a better, updated sound system for future events.Ultimately, we recommend Tatra Receptions to anyone looking for a natural, beautiful venue for a wedding or other large event 🙂

Very pretty venue and the food was amazing! The accommodation was nice, room and bathroom was massive, with basic tea and coffee and cornflakes for breakfast. Only complaint is the bed, a king bed would be appreciated, the queen looks very small and isn't as comfortable as a larger bed, especially for the $180 per night price tag.
