Geelong Engagement Parties
With the average Australian couple staying engaged for 23 months, it is easy to see why more and more couples are choosing to have an engagement party.
When it comes to finding a rustic wedding venue in Geelong, Rocklea Farm is a go-to option for many couples. However, we also host many engagement parties at our venue, both big and small. With an average of 23 months between the initial ‘popped the question’ stage and the ‘I do’ stage, the engagement party is about coming together as one. An engagement should be a time, where through the celebration of the love between you and your partner, it simultaneously unites your family and friends in celebrating love as a notion.
What better way to bring people together than delicious food, drinks, laughter, and dancing in the form of an engagement party?
Perhaps it is an opportunity for both sides of the family to meet, for relatives to catch up and re-acquaint or colleagues to meet childhood friends.
An engagement party presents the opportunity to relax the wedding day vibe with guests having enjoyed time together at the engagement party; creating a sense of familiarity and togetherness for your wedding day.

Our Reviews
Getting married beneath the beautiful tree was incredibly special, and the magical ambience of the barn and marquee created the most beautiful atmosphere for our celebration. Everything flowed so seamlessly throughout the day, and it was clear how much care and organisation goes into making weddings at Rocklea Farm so memorable.
We danced the night away surrounded by our favourite people, and every part of the venue felt warm and welcoming. Rocklea Farm gave us the most magical setting for our wedding day, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to start this next chapter together.
The wedding day went ahead with no hiccups all thanks to Glen and Dave (Simone) & their team. They were outstanding organisers, from queuing us to walk down the aisle, having a spot for guest to drop cards and gifts as soon as they arrived, the buggy for guest transport, contacting all in the vendors leading up to the event, the through planning with detailed lists of furniture and floor plans etc., a great interface to visit the event plan etc during planning and even a lovely wooden serving board with our names, the venue and wedding date as gift on the night - which is so thoughtful and a lovely keepsake.
Dave remembered every crazy bridal request I asked for and Glen was so calming, friendly and accommodating the night of !
Not to mention the beauty of the venue itself, all the spaces, wet weather options, speakers that reach everywhere, even beautiful bathrooms, beautiful lights and of course the magnificent Tree.
Couldn't recommend enough, the venue of our dreams !
What I thought was going to be my most stressful day in existence became one I will never forget and wish I could live through again and again.
You and your team welcomed us with open arms and made sure everything ran seamlessly, and I genuinely didn’t feel one ounce of nerve or stress. My partner and I got to be immersed in the moment, and for that I will be forever grateful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
From the moment we stepped out of the car at the open day, we knew this was the place for us. The passion, dedication, and genuine care that Dave, Glen, and Angela have—not just for the couples and guests walking through their doors, but for the property itself—is truly something special. Angela was so attentive and helpful during our planning process, Dave was absolutely on the ball for making sure everything run exactly to plan and Glen was such a hit that our friends tried to adopt him into our group! The level of hospitality at Rocklea Farm is unmatched. No other wedding venue is cooking you and your guests cheese toasties at 11:30 pm!
At every step of the way, they went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come to life. No request was too big, no question too silly, and every interaction with them was met with warmth, enthusiasm, and an unwavering commitment to making our day perfect. They are true professionals with hearts of gold, and their attention to detail and love for what they do shines through in every aspect of the venue and experience.
Our family and friends are still raving about Rocklea Farm! They couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the space was, how seamlessly it allowed everyone to mingle, and just how good the vibes were throughout the entire day and night. The layout, the atmosphere, the relaxed yet beautifully curated rustic / natural setting made for the most magical experience. The glamping tents were another huge highlight. Our guests couldn’t believe how comfortable and luxurious they were—several of them even said it was the best night’s sleep they’d had in ages! Having that cozy retreat right on-site just made the whole experience even more special.
We truly hope we get the chance to return to this magical place again in the future as guests so we can fully soak in the experience from the other side! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding day beyond extraordinary. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our big day at Rocklea Farm!
