Leonda By The Yarra

Absolutely world class service both leading to up the wedding with the planning and support as well the day itself and over the night. Sasha and the crew were just perfect and as a groom who did 99% of the planning and organising to take the load off the bride, it was a breeze. Minimal stress and just one big enjoyable experience. Could not recommend Leonda and their staff any higher. The venue (Grand Ballroom we booked) is amazing and stunning. Photo ops all over the place. Staff are professional. The food was just Michelin quality. Everything was of the highest standard. The support for 12 months was just spot on. And everything my bride and I envisioned was brought to life and executed perfectly.

Supplied nearly everything for the reception. Most budget friendly and took the work load off of us.

Our wedding at Leonda by the Yarra was truly unforgettable. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect venue – the beautiful garden room and the impeccable service made it everything we dreamed of and more. A very special thank you to Maria and Aoife, who went above and beyond to make our day seamless and stress-free. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional — nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel completely supported every step of the way. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food, service, and atmosphere were. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our special day. Leonda by the Yarra will always hold such a special place in our hearts — we can’t thank Maria, Aoife, and the entire team enough for making our wedding absolutely magical. 💕

Where do we even begin? Our entire wedding journey with Leonda by the Yarra was nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to the most beautiful team of people. From the very beginning, our coordinator Sasha was a calming and reassuring presence. She is one of the most patient, caring, and genuine people we have ever met. She never once made us feel like we were asking too much — instead, she guided us with kindness and professionalism, and she even went out of her way to help with things that were external to the reception itself. Sasha truly helped us bring our dream wedding to life. We honestly couldn’t imagine having anyone else by our side. On our wedding day, Sasha greeted us at the limo with so much warmth, excitement, and love. She made sure we were okay and that everything felt perfect before handing us over to the incredible Stella and Lotus. We had never met these two amazing women before that night, but instantly, they felt like family. Lotus was right there fanning my face the moment I felt hot or overwhelmed, and Stella quietly worked behind the scenes making sure the entire night flowed seamlessly. They cared for us with such genuine love, and we will never forget the comfort they gave us on the biggest day of our lives. And then there was the food — oh my goodness! While we barely had a moment to sit and eat, our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. The service was flawless, and every single detail exceeded our expectations. Leonda by the Yarra, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You didn’t just host our wedding — you created the most unforgettable experience of our lives. Sasha, Stella, and Lotus, you will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We feel so incredibly blessed and lucky to have had you all as part of our day. Truly, you are the very best in Melbourne — hands down. With love and gratitude always, Benyam & Marilyn 💕

Fantastic to deal with, everything was seamless - guests told me it was the best reception food they've ever had and service on the night was phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble and Alex, my event coordinator went above and beyond!
