Couples drawn to the rolling hills and rustic charm of the Yarra Valley don't have to travel far from Melbourne to find it. Among the Wedding Venues Yarra Valley has to offer, Ballara Receptions sits at the region's edge in Eltham, giving couples the scenery of a countryside wedding with the convenience of a location just 30 minutes from the CBD.
