Willow And Ivie Wedding in Mildura
Why Willow and Ivie is My Favourite Mildura Wedding Venue
Updated on Thursday 30 October 2025
A Grand Venue That Still Feels Welcoming
Willow and Ivie isn’t just a wedding venue; it is an experience. It’s just an all around great venue to get the most out of your ceremony photos, portraits and reception without needing to leave and waste time travelling between locations. Less time travelling in cars, more time actually enjoying your day, I’d call that a big win.
They have not one, but two indoor venue spaces for you to choose from. There is also a Chapel if you would prefer to have your ceremony indoors. It is a fantastic option for rainy days and for that famous Mildura summer heat. It’s air-conditioned and beautifully light on the inside so a great option if you have a ceremony during the brighter time of the days. This will result in better photos: you won’t have to squint to keep your eyes open because of the Sun, light will be beautiful and even, without any harsh, unflattering shadows.
A Wedding Photographer’s Dream
As a wedding photographer, I look at venues a little differently than your guests. From a photographer’s perspective one of the key factors for beautiful reception photos is light. A lot of Mildura reception venues are quite dark, and some don’t allow candles. This is not the case at Willow and Ivie.
The layout of the space allows for photographers and videographers to easily setup extra light if needed, and for the guests to enjoy the dances and speeches from both sides.
And the sparkler exit? Willow and Ivie made it easy for my recent wedding couple Alina and Simon. Not only did they allow it, they helped set it up safely and smoothly. It’s worth noting for future couples — if you’ve got your heart set on that glowing send-off, this venue doesn’t just permit it, they make it happen without stress. Alina and Simon ran through a tunnel of sparklers at 11 p.m., laughter, smoke, music — a perfect full-stop to the night.
Willow and Ivie is not just pretty, it’s practical. Between the ambient light, the layout, and the way the staff handle all the details, it’s one of those places that photographs beautifully and actually runs well behind the scenes.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue in the Mildura region that looks great and delivers, Willow and Ivie should be at the top of your list.
