From start to finish Hotel Kurrajong have been amazing!! Mickey put us at ease with her fast responses and always being accommodating. On the day everything was taken care of and Mickey went above and beyond making sure every detail was perfect, taking a lot of the stress off me! Having our guest being able to stay there was such a nice bonus! Could not fault them at all!!

Hotel Kurrajong Canberra

Congratulations, Teri! It was our pleasure to host your special day and we only hope it was as stress-free as possible :) Hope to see you sometime soon!

October 2022

Hotel Kurrajong was the best wedding venue I could have hoped for! Being able to have the ceremony and reception in one location was a must have for us and it is also dog friendly! We chose the Kurrajong Elegance package. We were able to change the packages and the team were the most accommodating. The food - our guests did not leave hungry! Our guests loved the chef live station with risotto and optional beef cheek! Our vegetarian friends said this was the best wedding food they had ever had! Now to Mickey, events coordinator extraordinaire! From our first meeting to after the wedding, Mickey has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, positivity, friendly and calm demeanour made the wedding planning actually enjoyable! We thank her for waiting until literally the last minute for our decision on a wet weather ceremony. Absolutely reccemend Hotel Kurrajong!

Donna, it was such a pleasure hosting you and your lovely partner for your special day. Mickey and the team adored working with you and only hope you felt like the most special couple in town! Congratulations once again :)

April 2022

Hotel Kurrajong is a beautiful and immaculate venue, with gorgeous architecture and decor for the reception that require no additional decorations to be provided to capture the beauty of the room. The beautiful courtyard and fountain is stunning and an amazing ceremony location, and they have great wet weather options as well. The food options were varied, with lots of options for all kinds of tastes, and the quality of the food was exceptional. The absolute best part about this venue though is the staff and coordinating team. Everything was organised amazingly by their event coordinator Mickey Catelin whose attention to detail and calm and relaxed manor made us feel completely safe and taken care of. She was really genuine in wanting to make it the best possible day for us and going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

June 2023

From the moment we sent our enquiry to after our wedding Mickey and the team provided the most professional and friendly service to make we had the most magical day imaginable. Mickey is incredibly prompt and extremely helpful. She would check in and offer support throughout our planning process. All staff were so absolutely fantastic. We had a whirlwind of a day, moving the ceremony inside and then back outside at the last minute. We cannot thank them enough for their help. Our day was beyond anything we could have dreamed of and perfectly captured the fun stress free wedding we wanted. I wish a could bottle the pure joy we had all day. Our guests are raving about the whole day, from music to food. Thank you Mickey and Team for your amazing work.
