Oh my goodness, you guys! We're so, so happy you had such an amazing wedding at our venue! Hearing you say it was "perfect" just made our day! We loved helping you out over the past 15 months. Seriously, any question, big or small, we were just glad to be able to help. And letting you come in the day before to set up all your decorations? That was totally fine, we wanted you to make it your own! We're so pleased you loved the caterer we suggested! We know it can be tricky finding good people when you're not from around here, so we're glad they did a great job. It's just the best feeling knowing everything went smoothly on your big day. We're just so happy you picked us! Thanks so much! And most importantly, we wish you both all the happiness in the world! El and the LHE Team x

Hi there, we are looking for info for a June 2025 wedding, with the ceremony and reception in the same location, prices and inclusions listed as I find most brochures do not include the prices. Ideally, we are looking for a cocktail style reception.
Leonards Hill Estate
Hi Suzie!
We can definitely help you with that :) We offer both ceremony and reception in the same location and have Cocktail style reception too! We can also send you a copy of our packages if you go on to our website www.leonardshillestate.com.au/weddings

3 Bridesmaids and No Groomsmen! HELP
My future Husband does not want groomsmen, but I want my 3 bridesmaids. How do we orgnaise photos and seating plan without making it look weird?
Leonards Hill Estate
Hello Madeleine!
That sounds great - it's good to be different :) A photographer is best to answer your question about the photos, but maybe you can have photos of just you and your future husband on some shots, and then you alone and your bridesmaids in another?
With the seating plan, I would say to only have you and your future husband on a table by yourselves (if you like) or join everyone in a U-shape table setting, where you two will be at the top and your bridesmaids can sit next t you, as well as your family and friends, therefore, not making your bridesmaids a focus and it is more inclusive.
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for these beautiful words - they really mean everything to us! Having you both here at Leonards Hill Estate was such a privilege, and being part of your planning journey - through all the emotions and decisions - was honestly a highlight for me. You made it easy because you both knew what mattered to you, and seeing it all come together on the day was incredible. I'm so happy the venue felt right for you from those first visits. That feeling of just knowing - it's the best! And everything we did, big or small, was genuinely our pleasure because we could see how much it all meant to you both. Thank you for trusting us with your day, for all the chats, the laughs, and the hugs along the way. The team and I loved being part of it, and knowing your guests felt welcome too makes us so happy. Wishing you both all the happiness ahead, Sandy and Joel! With love, El & the LHE team x
