Olinda Tea House is a restaurant and function venue on Olinda-Monbulk Road in Olinda, in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. It opened in June 2011 as a memorial tea house and passed to new operators in 2017. The reception room has floor-to-ceiling windows and bi-fold doors that open onto decks above the garden and bushland, there is a glasshouse-style sunroom, and a garden ceremony area with a stone path was added more recently. Weddings run from small dinners up to about 150 guests.
Veri photographed Jasmine and Ben’s wedding here from the garden ceremony through portraits and the reception, and on into the night. A day at the Tea House stays on one site: vows in the garden, portraits in the surrounding bush and along the village road, then dinner behind the glass as the ranges go dark. The alpacas on the property tend to end up in a photo or two.
