Bridal & Pre-Wedding Celebrations

Peppers Marysville offers a relaxed yet refined setting for bridal and pre-wedding celebrations, designed for moments that bring people together before the big day. Set in the picturesque surrounds of Marysville, on the edge of the Yarra Valley and just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the hotel feels like a destination escape while remaining easy for guests to access.

From hens and bucks weekends to engagement parties, bridal showers and pre-wedding getaways, Peppers Marysville provides a self-contained venue where accommodation, dining, celebration spaces and downtime come together effortlessly. Whether you’re planning a single celebration or a full weekend of events, the setting encourages connection, shared experiences and a sense of occasion without feeling over-planned.

A place to celebrate, connect and escape together

Pre-wedding celebrations at Peppers Marysville are designed to flow naturally across the property and the surrounding region. Flexible function spaces, onsite accommodation and proximity to the Yarra Valley allow groups to shape a weekend that reflects their style, whether that’s relaxed, celebratory or experience-led.

Common pre-wedding celebrations hosted at the hotel include:

• Hens and bucks (bachelor) weekends
• Engagement parties and bridal showers
• Combined bachelor and bachelorette group stays in Victoria’s High Country
• Pre-wedding spa days and wellness retreats
• Long-weekend celebrations with friends and family

Seasonality also adds to the appeal in Marysville. Winter celebrations are particularly popular for their cosy atmosphere and alpine feel, while warmer months lend themselves to outdoor experiences, winery visits and scenic drives.

Experiences beyond the hotel

One of the strengths of Peppers Marysville is its location, allowing pre-wedding groups to combine time onsite with easy access to the surrounding region. Bucks and mixed groups often shape their weekends around a relaxed round of golf at the Marysville Community Golf Club, scenic driving routes through the Yarra Valley and High Country, and long lunches or tastings at nearby cellar doors. Casual group activities, local walks and sightseeing also fit easily into the rhythm of the stay, without the need for long travel days.

Hens and bridal groups tend to favour a slower pace, balancing spa treatments, shared meals and leisurely mornings with gentle exploration of the region. The ease of moving between the hotel and nearby experiences allows groups to follow their own flow, shaping an itinerary that feels celebratory yet unhurried.

This flexibility is what makes Peppers Marysville particularly well suited to pre-wedding celebrations, giving groups the freedom to enjoy more, without feeling rushed or over-scheduled.

Leisure, wellness and downtime

Between celebrations and outings, Peppers Marysville offers space to reset and enjoy time together. Onsite leisure facilities allow groups to balance social moments with genuine downtime.

Guests can enjoy access to:

• A Wellness Spa offering massages and treatments suitable for individuals or small groups
• Heated outdoor lap pool
• Traditional sauna
• Fully equipped gym and tennis court

These shared moments, whether it’s a spa booking, a swim or quiet time between events, often become highlights of the weekend.
