November 2020

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at the Mercure, it was the perfect venue for our group of 28. Hannah was simply fantastic, she answered every question we had, explained all our options clearly and made sure our day was planned to a T so that everything ran smoothly. It was so simple having everything in the one place and the Mercure Resort is a great all inclusive venue, accommodation, ceremony, reception and beautiful grounds for photos all in one place! The choices of ceremony and reception spaces are wonderful and they were able to move us to larger space, due to restrictions, so our day could still go ahead ! The event staff were exceptional, so friendly, they kept everyone's glass full and the food service was quick and smooth. The food was outstanding and delicious! Thank you all so much, it truly was the perfect day!

Mary at the Mercure came in with the goods. We were messed around by another hotel 30 days out from the wedding and Mary ensured we could transfer all guests over smoothly and without bother.

They were really good. We did a lot of DIY and they were very flexible. We were given an extra day to set up our decorations. Lots of help prior to the wedding and had food tasting. They also gave us complimentary night stay too.

Hi Maria, Thank you for your kind words! We hope you had an amazing wedding day. Kind regards, the Mercure Team

October 2023

Great communication and super friendly. The deluxe king suite was absolutely beautiful and so much more than what we expected upon arrival. It was the perfect space for my husband and I to get away the night before and night of our wedding. And it was beyond perfect for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in the morning of the wedding. Bed was super spacious and comfortable and the shower was amazing! Loved having the two shower heads. Also received a complimentary bottle of bubbles which was a lovely touch. I believe this room is over the phone booking only but Would definitely recommend this room to those in need of bridal accommodation.

Then location and the Shiraz room was lovely but we had a lot of dramas with accommodation , no one would answer the phones and all our guests got different rates . Wedding coordinator was great on the day but very hard to get on to and had to follow up on things all the time , Hunter Valley Garden for ceremony was just beautiful and the staff at gardens very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them, they run after us all afternoon with a smile.

How many guests constitutes a small wedding?

We are thinking about 55 :)

Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens

We have a range of reception rooms that vary in size. For a group of around 55 guests, our Riesling Room or Shiraz Room would suit. If your numbers were below 50, we would recommend the Lodge Room or Conservatory.

Are there any venue's that offer a cash bar instead of a package?

We are in perth and wondered if you had to include a drinks package at your chosen venue? Or does anyone know any venues where this is an option? Thanks
