Venues Reviews

We had a wonderful wedding ceremony at The Boathouse and Mark and I couldn't have been happier. It was everything we hoped it would be. The venue was perfect, the service and attention from the team were wonderful, the food and drinks were of great quality and there was plenty to go around. We've had lots of favourable comments from our guests, who had a great time. Our heartfelt thanks to yoy for everything you did to make our wedding memorable and a very special celebration.

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!

We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly! From the moment we started planning, the team made us feel completely supported and at ease. They were so organised, responsive, and approachable, which made the entire process feel stress-free and enjoyable. On the day, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning, and everything ran so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and soak up every moment. The staff were amazing — so friendly, attentive, and professional — we felt truly looked after the whole time. We went with the street food menu and it was a huge highlight — the food was delicious, there was so much of it, and our guests are still talking about it! It created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. A special highlight was staying at the house, which made the experience even more memorable and added something really special to our wedding weekend. We also really appreciated how the team took care of everything at the end of the night, packing everything up seamlessly so it was easy for us to grab our belongings the next day. There were also so many thoughtful little touches throughout the weekend that made us feel so cared for and special — it really set this venue apart. We are so grateful to the team for creating such a perfect day for us. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible support, amazing food, and a truly special experience, this is it!

Julia and the team was so warm and friendly. We felt so comfortable the entire time and also were made to feel really special. The photographer, Lisa knew the property so well, and took us to all the beautiful spots and made sure we were there at the right time. Our friends hadn’t been to Mewburn Park before and all commented on how beautiful it was. Can’t thank Mewburn Park, Evie Wilson @ Peace and Love and Lisa Hayman enough for such a fantastic day.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Bonfire Station. We had our ceremony and reception here in November 2025, and we truly had the best day of our lives thanks to this stunning venue and the team. Bonfire has the most breathtaking views of the Cathedral Ranges, beautiful open spaces, convenient onsite accommodation, and a relaxed atmosphere that our guests loved. The lakeside ceremony location was gorgeous, and the fire later in the evening created a great space to socialise during the breaks from dancing the barn. Florine and the entire team were exceptional. Communication in the lead-up was seamless, and on the day the staff made sure everything ran smoothly and that we and our guests were extremely well looked after, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day. The food was outstanding. We chose the Texas BBQ package, and guests are still raving about both the quality and quantity of the food (second helpings, yes please)! We couldn’t recommend Bonfire Station enough for anyone wanting a stunning venue and a relaxed, unforgettable wedding day.

We had our wedding at Fergusson Winery & Restaurant in early October, and we truly couldn’t speak more highly of Sarah and her incredible team! Fergusson is an absolutely amazing venue. We stayed in the onsite homestead the night before our wedding, which was such a highlight. The space is large, beautiful, and full of fantastic getting-ready photo opportunities. It made the morning of our wedding feel relaxed, smooth, and genuinely enjoyable. The night prior, we had the option of using the vineyard, lawn, or barrel room for our ceremony. With some inclement weather around, we decided on the barrel room, and it was the perfect choice! The space was absolutely stunning and not a disappointment in the slightest. Our bridal party, guests, and vendors were all incredibly comfortable throughout the ceremony. The food deserves a special mention. From the canapés through to dessert, both the quality and quantity were outstanding. Everything was absolutely delicious, and every guest finished the night completely satisfied, no one went home hungry! All of the staff on the night were so welcoming, kind, and professional, helping everything run seamlessly from start to finish. From the very beginning, Sarah was phenomenal! She was completely on top of every detail and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We truly cannot speak highly enough of Sarah and her team at Fergusson, thank you for giving us the most incredible wedding day!

The Garden Bar & Kitchen exceeded every expectation for our wedding, turning our special day into an unforgettable experience. From the glorious view of the river to the impeccable service, everything was perfect. Our wedding coordinator, Megan, and her team were incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was handled flawlessly. The food was a standout, with gourmet dishes that delighted our guests. The pork belly bites and arancini balls were a huge hit amongst the guest.The entire event was smoothly executed, reflecting exceptional value for the investment. If you’re seeking a venue with stunning ambiance, top-notch service, and exquisite food, The Garden Bar and kitchen is a gem. Our day was truly magical, thanks to their outstanding team.

Absolutely beautiful, 100 out of 10! Everything was so well organised and all I really had to do was turn up. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and it was just perfect for what we wanted. They went above and beyond!
