Elope at the Redwood Forest
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels straight out of a fairy tale (minus the drama and overpriced seating charts), let us introduce you to the magical Redwood Forest in Warburton. Nestled in the Yarra Ranges, this hidden gem is the ultimate backdrop for a micro wedding or elopement that’s intimate and totally unique.
At The Micro Wedding Company, we’re all about ditching the stress and making your wedding an unforgettable experience so thats why we LOVE working at the Redwood and are lucky to say we are here regularly.
Here’s why the Redwood Forest in Warburton is the perfect spot to say “I do” with just your closest people (or just the two of you!).
1. A Jaw-Dropping Natural location
Forget traditional chapels—this place has towering redwoods that create a stunning, otherworldly cathedral of nature. With their impossibly straight trunks and soft, golden light filtering through the branches, it’s like stepping into an enchanted woodland straight out of a movie, whatever the weather its a great spot as you have a thick canopy above and if you love nature and symmetry like we do its a great choice.
2. The Perfect Mix of Secluded + Accessible
You want a wedding location that feels like a secret hideaway, but you also don’t want to trek through a jungle in your wedding attire. The Redwood Forest is an easy drive from Melbourne and a short walk from the car park—secluded enough to feel special, but accessible enough that you won’t need a survival guide to get there. Keep in mind though, its a popular public spot especially on weekends and school holidays, so we advise midweek elopements and micro weddings here so you won’t have random people in the back of your photos and interrupting your wedding ceremony
3. A Dream for Wedding Photography
Let’s talk about the photos. The dramatic trees, the filtered light, the all ability to marry any time of the day — your wedding pictures will look amazing. Whether you’re going for dreamy romance or a moody, cinematic vibe, this forest delivers on every level. Knowing the space so well means we can take you to all the stunning spots for photos even the places beyond the redwood like the river at the base of the hill and the fern gully.
4. Ultimate Privacy for an Intimate Ceremony
Keep it midweek and it will just about have the place to yourselves - your love, and the gentle rustling of the trees. The Redwood Forest offers the kind of intimate setting that makes elopements and micro weddings feel extra special.
5. An Unforgettable Experience for You and Your Guests
If you’re inviting a handful of loved ones, imagine the experience of standing beneath these towering giants, surrounded by nature, celebrating your love. It’s not just a wedding—it’s an adventure with some awesome spots nearby to grab a grazing platter and stay all together for a mini wedding festival featuring you both.
6. The Perfect Excuse for a Romantic Getaway
Why stop at just the wedding? Warburton is packed with cozy retreats and scenic walks. Turn your wedding day into a mini-moon and spend the next few days exploring waterfalls, sipping wine, and soaking up the magic of the Yarra Valley and beyond.
