At this stage the Victorian government has made no allowances for any unvaccinated guests (unless they hold a medical exemption), if even 1 guest is unvaccinated you may only have a total of 10 guests in attendance at your ceremony and reception. ***Please note, this restriction has been misinterpreted by some. For example, you cannot have 60 guests that are vaccinated plus 10 that aren’t, it means that only 10 guests in total can attend).

Children under 16 years old do not need to be vaccinated but must be accompanied by fully vaccinated adults.

you have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, or
you have a valid medical exemption to COVID-19 vaccination issued by an authorised medical practitioner, or
you are aged under 16.
If you can show evidence of any of the above, you can enter a venue as if you are fully vaccinated. See below for how you will be permitted to show your vaccination status.
