Charley & Ben celebrated their wedding day at Maison Bâtard in the heart of Melbourne, hosting both their ceremony and reception within this beautifully designed city venue on Bourke Street. Their ceremony took place in the courtyard, a hidden open-air space that felt intimate and relaxed despite being right in the middle of the city. Surrounded by family and friends, it was the perfect setting to begin the day before guests moved inside for the evening celebration.

The reception was held downstairs at Maison Bâtard, where the atmosphere shifted into a warm, vibrant celebration. With its rich interiors, layered textures and unmistakable European influence, the space created an incredible setting for the night to unfold. Photographing a wedding entirely within Maison Bâtard allowed us to capture so many different moods throughout the day, from the light-filled courtyard ceremony to the deeper, more atmospheric reception space below all right in the centre of Melbourne. For couples planning a Melbourne city wedding, Maison Bâtard offers a truly unique venue that blends character, great design and an unforgettable dining experience.
