acre farm Burwood Wedding Receptions
There are multiple reception spaces onsite, with indoor and outdoor options, so you can fully enjoy all the unique elements of this venue. The Farmhouse is the main dining space with a large high peaked ceiling that showcases a commanding view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Natural light streams into the room, illuminating the timber beams, pendant lighting, and generous floor space. The Farmhouse can be arranged for seated or cocktail events and can accommodate a dancefloor.
Prepare to dazzle when you host your reception in the Glasshouse. This space does what it says on the label; the all-glass room glows with warm sunlight during the day and is brought to life by festoon lighting in the evening. The Glasshouse is full of lush green plants that bring a sense of intimacy and magic, and with a transparent roof, you’ll be dancing under the stars well into the night.
There are several outdoor spaces where you could direct your guests, from the private balcony to the decking, pergola, plaza, or terrace. Each of these spaces can be arranged in different ways to suit different capacities, so your acre farm Burwood event manager will advise how best to set them up.

Venue Testimonials
Beautiful restaurant on the rooftop with city views. The set menu was delicious too and very filling. The farm is also really nice to walk around in before dinner.
Anna Y ·
We were here on Saturday for a 60th which was also Acre's first private function and we were all extremely impressed with the venue and the service. The staff there were so helpful and lovely and the space itself was perfect. As the first function that they held they did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend.

The atmosphere had a comfortable and cosy setting. The view was good, it'll be lovelier when the plants bloom. The service was excellent and food was delicious! The olive oil they used was from Mt zero, Grampians. Very fresh. The bread homemade. The hummus was to die for.
