Shades of Pink Bramleigh Estate

Bramleigh Estate in the Community

Bramleigh Estate

Has a long history of support for our local community

Bramleigh Estate and our Director, Mary-Anne Lowe, have always been passionate about supporting and giving back to a range of local community groups.

We are proud to have supported major local fundraising events such as Shades of Pink, raising funds for Maroondah Hospital’s Breast and Cancer Centre; Fireball, raising funds for local CFA brigades; and Doncare emergency relief fundraising drives and volunteer luncheons.

Plus having served as a councillor for Maroondah City Council from 2014 to 2016, Mary-Anne had the opportunity to connect with and support a wide range of initiatives that provided benefits to the local Maroondah area, its residents and community groups.

Bramleigh Estate continues to value the importance of giving back to those in the Warrandyte region and hopes to continue to support local organisations and events for many years to come.

Shades of Pink

Established in 2017 by a group of dedicated and business-savvy mothers, Shades of Pink was created to support Eastern Health’s new Breast and Cancer Centre, which was officially opened in May 2018 at Maroondah Hospital.

Dedicated to supporting women with breast cancer, a cause close to their hearts, the dynamic foursome decided to host a ladies lunch tailored to engage the local community.

In August 2017 over 150 women came together at Bramleigh Receptions, Croydon for a luxurious luncheon. Styled in seasonal blooms, pink hues and MCed by Channel 7’s Jacqui Felgate, guests enjoyed a three course lunch and bubbles while mingling amongst one another.

The first event was a huge success raising over $30,000, which was donated to fund the Oncology Allied Health Clinic located at Maroondah Hospital’s new Breast and Cancer Centre.

In 2018, for their second event the group vowed to rally the community in support of new 3D mammogram equipment.

The second luncheon, again hosted by Bramleigh Estate, raised an amazing $117,000 to help women being screened and treated for breast cancer.

Shades of Pink is now one of the most highly anticipated social events on the calendar and relies heavily on the local community and organisations such as Bramleigh Estate to make an impact.

It also creates a platform that allows women to come together to connect and share their stories.

“Breast cancer could affect any one of our Shades of Pink guests or their loved ones. It’s a powerful motivator to make a difference.” 

Sarah Allan, Shades Of Pink Co-Founder

Fireball

Fireball is an annual community-run fundraising event for our local CFA brigades in Warrandyte, North Warrandyte, South Warrandyte and Wonga Park. The captains of these brigades decide where the greatest need is and which appliance will be purchased with the funds raised at each Fireball. Every cent raised goes back into our local CFA brigades. 

Fireball celebrates the efforts of CFA volunteers with a night of fine wine and delicious beverages, gourmet food, live music, surprise performances, the famous champagne bar, prizes as well as some exciting auctions.

Bramleigh Estate had planned to host the 2020 Fireball but due to COVID the event has been rescheduled to Saturday 29 July 2023 and will cater for over 300 local guests completely free of charge.

In 2023 Fireball aims to raise enough funds to purchase a light tanker for Wonga Park brigade, a member of the Greater Warrandyte CFA brigades. 

“It feels even more important now to be able to take some of the load off the local small businesses who are still recovering from the last few years, by supporting Fireball in this way,” – Mary-Anne Lowe.

Doncare

Since its inception in 1969, Doncare – Doncaster Community Care and Counselling Centre Inc. – has provided support to enhance the quality of life of people living in Manningham and surrounding communities.

Bramleigh Estate is proud to have supported Doncare’s fundraising efforts over many years by hosting large events such as Empowered Women, Empowering Women and National Volunteer Week luncheons for hundreds of guests completely free of charge.

Mary-Anne has also made use of her well-known standing in the local community by encouraging community members and businesses to pitch in and donate many car loads of essential food items to Doncare’s much needed Emergency Relief programs.  

“I like to support local and the move to Manningham motivated me to explore organisations that make a significant impact. It was wonderful to discover a local community group that provides such a diverse range of programs in so many sectors of our local area.” – Mary-Anne Lowe

What Our Guests Say About Bramleigh Estate

In March 2026 we had our wedding at Bramleigh Estate and we truly could not fault a single thing.

From the moment we booked right through to the night of our wedding, everything was absolutely incredible. We loved the venue, the staff and the entire experience.

Throughout all of my many messages, questions and little details during the planning process, your team was always there and so supportive.

Your communication is honestly one of the biggest standouts of this venue. From the beginning we felt completely at ease because you kept in touch, answered everything so quickly and made us feel supported every step of the way.

Sheridan was our coordinator and she was amazing. Not once did we feel anything but positive energy from her. The entire process felt seamless and she genuinely made organising our wedding feel stress free, which is such a gift during what can be a hectic time.

On the day, the staff were incredible. I caught two names, Jamie and Emily, and they were both fantastic. All of the staff made sure we were looked after at the bridal table all night and we always felt comfortable asking for anything knowing it would be taken care of.

You truly went above and beyond for Nicholas and I. We are so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding so special.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🤍

I was so impressed by the service, the knowledge, the help, assistance and professionalism of all the floor/wait staff. I was there for a wedding last Monday 6/1/26. They looked after us so well, delivered the food exceptionally and took special care of one of our crowd who was wheat intolerant, including showing the initiative to ask the kitchen, who obligingly made up a plate of special wheat free food. When we asked questions, if they didn't know they got us answers. Just the professionalism, respect and friendliness they showed to us was so impressive. The food was sensational, delicious and different without being weird. I loved every minute of it at Bramleigh Estate. I couldn't rate it higher if I tried. Thank you for such exceptional service and food to die for. I do hope you will pass this on to your staff as they were really exceptional.

Bramleigh Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make our preparation for our big day seamless. Katelyn was such a pleasure to work with in the lead-up, always doing her best to accommodate our requests and also ensuring that everything was set up properly before we arrive at the venue! Our on-the-day coordinator made sure we were always well looked after, always checking in to see if we needed anything and we appreciated the canapes being served privately at our VIP Suite. The food and service were absolutely amazing, huge kudos to the chefs and service team for delivering such an exceptional experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! 💕

Bramleigh Estate was everything we could have asked for and more. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond throughout the planning process—nothing was ever too much trouble. They exceeded every expectation we had, offering incredible support, flexibility, and generosity on the day itself. The venue is stunning, the service was flawless, and the value for money was outstanding. A special shoutout to our amazing wedding planner, Sheridan, who was an absolute superstar—calm, organised, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Honestly, Bramleigh Estate just hits different.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve worked at a lot of venues, but every time I’m at Bramleigh, I leave feeling so grateful. The team here? Absolute gems — warm, organised, and genuinely care about making every couple’s day feel like magic.

The estate itself is just wow — gorgeous spots everywhere you turn, dreamy lighting, and such an elegant vibe. It’s one of those places that just makes your job as a photographer easy because every backdrop is stunning.

Big love to the Bramleigh crew!

Our wedding at Bramleigh Estate was truly magical, and we can’t thank the team enough for making it absolutely perfect!

From start to finish, everything was flawless. The venue itself is stunning, and we were in awe of how beautiful everything looked on the day. The entire Bramleigh team ensured that everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for better service.

The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and their attention to detail truly stood out. Our coordinator, Katelyn, made planning the day so much easier — always patient, helpful, and prompt in answering all our questions. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I was able to easily customize nearly every aspect to perfectly suit our celebration.

The food was delicious! So many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the meal, and we couldn’t agree more.

We truly had the most amazing day, and it was all thanks to the wonderful team at Bramleigh! We couldn’t be happier with our choice, and if you're looking for a venue, we highly recommend them!
