The Ivory Elsternwick - Elsternwick, Victoria

The Ivory was the ideal wedding venue for our special day. Despite the winter weather, the venue was impeccably prepared to accommodate last-minute showers and winds, ensuring a seamless experience. We were thrilled to have both the ceremony and reception at one location, with two beautifully distinct spaces that felt separate yet connected.

The venue’s versatility, combined with a range of thoughtful inclusions, made it easy for us to focus on the things that truly mattered. The design is absolutely stunning—spacious yet intimate, with elegant furnishings and décor that were both sophisticated and practical.

The staff went above and beyond, providing exceptional service with warmth and professionalism.

Additionally, the venue's surroundings are incredibly photogenic, offering countless picturesque spots all within walking distance. Our guests also appreciated the venue’s convenient location near the south-east suburbs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding at The Ivory.

Katie took incredible care of us and the Ivory is a 10/10 venue. There’s so many incredible inclusions that set them apart from the rest and help you save so much money! Plus the food is actually incredible and all cooked on site. Thank you Ivory team for making our day so special ❤

My husband and I were lucky enough to get married at The Ivory in November 2021 just as Covid restrictions were easing after what was a difficult year.

After our first visit to the venue we knew this was the one - it has the perfect mix between modern and romantic elegance and the beautiful courtyard was an added bonus as this meant we didn't have to have the ceremony at a different location to the reception.

The Ivory has a generous main reception room with a large dancefloor along with ample space in the foyer allowing for our wonderful vendors such as the photobooth and ice cream cart to serve our guests. Although we opted for our own decor, it was lovely to see the venue hire had a lot of great inclusions as standard.

We were also very happy with Jennifer as our co-ordinator who was very helpful and answered our millions of questions and provided comfort and flexibility in a time of uncertainty.

Thanks to The Ivory and the team for making our day so memorable and ensuring things ran as smoothly as they did.

We had our daughter's wedding reception last night. We were not happy about the cooling system. Air conditioning was not working properly. All the guests, especially those who were sitting at the back were very uncomfortable. Even though I reported this many times, they couldn't do anything.
Also, the female toilets were all very dirty and not cleaned properly when we reached the venue. I had to ask them to clean the toilets and empty the bin.

We had our wedding at The Ivory back in 2019 before the COVID pandemic. What a beautiful night. Everything was run smoothly and beautifully. Our guests still boast about our wedding until this day, which in fact is what reminded me to put up this google review! I did not feel stressed at all on the night. Everything that had been discussed and that we asked for, was executed perfectly on the night. Thank you to the team at The Ivory Elsternwick ❤️.

I love The Ivory's classy and elegant inner and outer decor. The grand piano in the foyer looks and sounds amazing and I love impressing guests with it whenever I get invited to perform there.

The venue is absolutely stunning. As soon as we visited, we knew it was perfect for us. We specifically loved the ballroom style reception and it's elegance. We were also able to do the first look on site and conveniently head into the city for photos before heading back with plenty of time to ready ourselves for the ceremony. Highly recommend!

My husband and I would love to say a big thank you for the team at The Ivory Elsternwick.... what a blast of a night not only for us, the bridal team but all the guests aswell.

We couldn't have asked for a better night. Not knowing what to expect, but what a wonderful time and night it turned out to be.

The venue itself is beautiful, the inclusions are great such as bridal table flowers if you want to save, or choose your own design like we did for the bridal table and keep the guests table flowers. Some things we loved was no hidden costs such as corkage fees or cake cutting fees. We had 200 guests and felt that space was perfect. Not too small but cosy and intimate while guests had plenty of space in the foyer to enjoy as well. Going to some other venues, we liked that the ivory looked new and not rundown like some others we visited. The bridal room was pretty and great size, even the toilets had plenty of amenities.
Ceremony area is awesome and convenient.

Jennifer did her best to help us and was always accommodating and flexible for changes, dietary requirements and all vendors and suppliers were organised so well, I did not have anyone asking me what's going on. She kept us updated and in the loop all the time, answered all questions obviously being our first time getting married, and suggested recommendations etc.

We had a live band and it really brought the night alive. The lighting in the reception creates a lovely ambience aswell.

We were lucky to not have to change our dates at all so all in all, everything worked out for us.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends
