Venues Reviews

The Boathouse Shelly Beach were great to deal with from the start. From our first meeting we knew we wanted to have our Wedding there. The venue is very special, but the staff take it to the next level. They were so accommodating, efficient and lovely. The staff that worked on the night of our small wedding were excellent. They were friendly, efficient and made the night so wonderful. Everyone commented on how good the food and wine was. We had such an amazing night and can't thank them enough.

Julia & the crew was a delight to work with. They know what they are doing. Panama's food was consistently amazing. From our initial dining as guests to food tasting to the D-day, they didn't fail to deliver. Almost all of our guests have complimented how divine the dishes were. The team was also very light to work with. Easy to instruct and they are very professional and proactive. They know how to anticipate things. We will definitely be coming back to Panama, even as guests or maybe doing our next event there as well. They are superb!

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.

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 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.

Our wedding was nothing short of perfection! The location and view need no review and description because this is what first and foremostly sets St. Michaels Golf Course apart from other venues we looked at. The breathtaking ocean views created a picturesque backdrop, while the lush greenery of the golf course added a touch of natural elegance. What the photos do not show you, are the friendly and professional staff working tirelessly behind the scenes to give you nothing short of a day you will never forget. Led by the incredible Sabrina, the entire team was professional, attentive, and dedicated to making our day flawless. Sabrina went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life—her flexibility and accommodating nature made the planning process seamless and stress-free. She truly listened to our ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Sabrina, along with the organisers and the talented in-house stylist, Morgan, showcased an impeccable eye for detail. From the beautifully arranged décor (table/reception setting) to the perfectly timed coordination, every aspect of our wedding reflected their commitment to excellence. Their expertise ensured a high-quality, unforgettable day that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking scenery, outstanding service, and a team that genuinely cares about your special day, we cannot recommend St. Michaels Golf Course enough. Thank you to Sabrina and the entire team for making our wedding dreams come true!

We had our wedding at the Woolshed on the 10th October. The venue was stunning . The set up was superb and the food was absolutely amazing. From the mains to the desert and grazing table . Alysha was phenomenal. She was so accommodating and nothing was a hassle . 10/10 on everything.
