We cannot recommend Manly Pavillion enough! We had the best day of our lives and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Sherlie and the team were so attentive, helpful and wonderful to work with. We felt so well looked after and had a lovely bridal attendant on the day. The food was incredible and our guests haven’t stopped raving about it. One of my favourite things about Manly Pavillion was how easy they made wedding planning. We opted to go with the in-house florist, who did such an incredible job with the flowers and made our vision come to life. We also got our cake through them, and each flavour was delicious. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you Boathouse!

My husband & I held a very intimate and personal wedding in February 2025, it was beyond perfection for a micro wedding. There was 15 people in total it was very romantic and gave me all the feels that I was wishing and hoping for. The beautiful old chapel has such charm and really brings in the vintage vibe I was wanting. The surrounding area was just perfect for photos and holding a small cocktail hour in the garden. Simply bliss. Xx

Spending our wedding weekend at Kalinya Estate, was an absolute dream! Upon our arrival, we noticed how clean the whole estate was. It had been freshly landscaped and the accommodation spaces were stunningly cleaned. Mandy and Bec had put everything that we wanted, exactly where we had asked - tables, high chairs, barrel for the cake, ramps for a guest who uses a wheelchair etc. We had our close family and friends stay with us over the weekend, which was so much fun! We used the pizza oven and enjoyed the many facilities at the property - squash court, pool table, foosball etc. This night was just what we needed to ease our nerves, before our big day! On our wedding day, Mandy was around to help and be a presence of comfort and joy, just when we needed her. Everything ran smoothly and we had the wedding of our dreams! We are so happy that we happened to stumble across Kalinya Estate and that we had the pleasure of meeting Mandy and Bec. They are such friendly, approachable and kind people, who are so passionate about what they do. We can’t thank them enough. We look forward to visiting Kalinya Estate again, in the near future.

What can I say about this venue. Fergusson hosted our wedding in March of 2025 and it was everything we could have hoped for. Sarah & Sara are SO wonderful to deal with that organising our wedding in just 4 months was a dream. We love the atmosphere and food at the venue, we visited 6+ times over the last few months with our friends and family who all loved it. We opted to have our ceremony on the lawn facing the vines and Sarah was more than happy to accommodate this new idea we had and it turned out SO beautiful. With the venue giving exclusive access to the winery for the wedding no matter the size of the wedding it will feel intimate and all to yourself to celebrate with your loved ones. There is multiple, beautiful options for the Ceremony which was a real appeal for this venue as the wet weather options are also beautiful and often chosen as first choice which was actually hard to find at other venues so was a huge tick. Lots of menu options to choose from for the reception as well as table configuration options - Sarah goes beyond to make your vision come to life. We can't recommend it more.

Beach Road is an amazing venue with stunning views and surrounds, delicious food and wine and fantastic service. To top it off, the wedding coordinator, Adrienne, is phenomenal! She was always so kind and helpful and helped iron out all of the details of our wedding. One of our guests also had a minor medical emergency at the reception, and Adrienne and the Beach Road team were fantastic, calling an ambulance, making sure the guest got medical attention and keeping us all calm. Despite this unexpected event, the night was amazing. Thanks Beach Road Wines x

The Ed is a hidden gem for weddings I would encourage future couples to consider. The pavilion room is filled with natural light and greenery behind the glass, it gives a modern airy outdoor chapel feel. The beer garden is transformed into the perfect reception party venue with the canopy to protect from any weather, and built in wooden booths and fairy lights meaning the space is easily elevated with a small amount of flowers. The staff are all gorgeous, friendly and warm. The catering through the Ed is an easy process and our guests were certainly full! Our wedding was absolutely flawless beginning to end and being a central location, our guests could easily come and go as they pleased. We’ve had great feedback from all of our guests and still can’t believe we fit over 100 of them in there and felt like we had plenty of room! We highly recommend The Ed for your wedding venue.

We had our wedding at Austinvilla Estate this month and it was the most perfect day. The venue is stunning and stylish and was perfect for our day. The staff went above and beyond in the planning and were great with communication and fast responses. Our wedding co-ordinator Katelyn was incredible!! She is so full of life, and is the life of the party! She made the day run so smoothly and it was care free! The accommodation on site is great and was perfect for our recovery breakfast buffet which we cannot rave on about more - the food is fantastic and it is so nice to have a debrief and see all your guests the next morning. If we could re-live our day 100 times we would choose Austinvilla each time.

Our wedding at Bonfire Station was nothing short of magical! From the breathtaking scenery to the exceptional service, every detail was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning and offers so many options for ceremony location, we chose to have our ceremony down by the dam and it was the perfect backdrop for our day. Rob and Flo, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, the communication and planning process was 10/10 and so easy and stress free. They were professional, attentive, and truly cared about making our wedding special and unique to your own personal wish list. Our guests are still raving about the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience. If you're looking for a dream wedding venue, look no further than Bonfire Station. It was everything we envisioned and more!
