A historic town in Victoria’s stunning high country, Euroa makes for the perfect location for a special event — it’s ideal for locals wanting to keep things close to home, and at less than two hours out of Melbourne, it’s great for out-of-towners looking for a little country charm.
There are so many details that go into planning an event — coming up with bonbonniere ideas for weddings, themes for birthday parties, name tags for corporate events — but not many details are as important as picking the right venue.
The venue sets the tone of the whole event, are you looking for cosy or corporate? Intimate or spacious? Conventional or quirky? Whatever you decide, the venue tells guests what to expect, determines the atmosphere of the occasion, and goes hand-in-hand with many other factors of the event: think food and drinks, technical capabilities, and guest capacity.
If you want to host your event in Euroa but aren’t sure where to start, don’t worry, we’ve made it easy for you with a list of the four best venues in town.
