Mawarra is a family friendly venue with large outdoor areas for the children to play. The fresh, white interior of our bluestone hall fits with any colour scheme, which is why our venue is a popular option for christenings. We recommend booking your christening about 6 months in advance to secure your event at one of Melbourne's best christening venues. Our most popular menus for christenings include our Gyros Spit Roast and Gourmet Barbeque menus.
