Food at the Heart: Weddings at The Epicurean Red Hill
Every wedding begins with a feeling.
For us, that feeling almost always starts at the table—plates being passed, glasses clinking, stories spilling out between courses. Food isn’t just part of the celebration; it’s the thread that weaves the day together. And nowhere does that philosophy come to life more beautifully than at The Epicurean Red Hill.
Set in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, The Epicurean is more than a venue—it’s an experience.
The space is layered with character: soaring industrial beams softened by cascading greenery, long feasting tables that invite conversation, and an atmosphere that feels both rustic and refined. It’s the perfect backdrop for food-led weddings that are equal parts relaxed and unforgettable.
What sets a wedding here apart is the way food is celebrated. Forget plates that arrive and disappear without a story.
At The Epicurean, dishes are designed to be shared, lingered over, and remembered. Think wood-fired pizzas arriving straight from the Red Hill kitchen, handmade pastas that feel like they’ve come from a European grandmother’s table, and vibrant local produce that tells the story of the Peninsula itself. The menu is generous, abundant, and layered with flavour—crafted to make your guests feel not just full, but connected.
For us at Ever After Effect, catering is never separate from the wedding—it is the wedding. The rhythm of the day follows the food: the anticipation of canapés as guests spill onto the terrace, the first pour of wine at sunset, the laughter that rises with each new course. We design your timeline around these moments, making sure nothing feels rushed, and everything feels intentional.
And then there’s the setting itself. The Epicurean Red Hill offers spaces that shift and evolve with the day.
Outdoor ceremonies at the Red hill Trail Trail, alfresco drinks that feel like a long summer afternoon, The Barrel Room for a moody back-up ceremony plan, and the grandeur of The Shed for the main event—each corner holds its own cinematic quality. It’s a place where one setting flows into the next, and where no two weddings ever look or feel the same.
Our role is to bring it all together. With Leah’s vision, Cassandra’s storytelling eye, Lauren’s florals, and Alexander’s seamless planning, we take the foundation of The Epicurean and shape it into something that feels like it could only ever belong to you. The venue gives us the canvas; your story gives us the script.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding where food leads the way—where courses become chapters and the table becomes the stage—The Epicurean Red Hill is waiting. Let us set the scene, design the menu, and plan the day so that every detail flows.
Because in the end, it’s not just about getting married. It’s about gathering your people, sharing a table, and creating a wedding that tastes as good as it looks.
