Excellent service and convenient venue! The team at Ballara (particularly Popy) made planning and preparing for our wedding really easy. She also made all of our 'outside the box' requests possible and project managed all of our suppliers. On the day, we could enjoy every moment of our wedding completely oblivious to any of the organising going on in the background because Popy and Ella (my dedicated person on the day) were all over it. Ballara is also a beautiful venue with everything in one place. Plenty of photo spots and areas for guests to explore and take photos. The Ballara team are exceptional and you and your guests will be well looked after. Thank you!

Would highly recommend Ballara Receptions! Excellent customer service- always accommodating, easy to communicate with and incredibly professional. The venue itself is beautiful and well maintained. Food was excellent with very generous portion sizes. My husband and I are very grateful to the Ballara team for helping to make our day so wonderful!

What can I say! It was one of the best experiences of my life. Steven and I couldn't be happier with Ballara Receptions for our wedding. Everything was covered from the beautiful surroundings and gardens - even in winter, the gorgeous chapel, and the foyer and reception spaces. Exquisite. The comments from our guests included: "Amazing food", "Great dance space", "Professional", "Welcoming" and "Accessible"! The professional staff were always helpful and very caring with their approach, particularly Popy, Amanda and Loretta who we worked with directly. They coordinated everything to make our Wedding Day beyond special and it was such a relief to leave it all to them, as both Steven and I are very busy people! Hence we give them 5 stars in every area from cleanliness, aesthetic beauty and elegance, organisation and value for money considering all you receive on the day. Thank you!!

We fell in love with Ballara as soon as we saw it. It had everything we were looking for - beautiful lush scenery for photos, outdoor garden ceremony, a modern reception and allowed external catering. We also liked that it was private and that you couldn't see any other buildings surrounding it. It was like we were in our own little world. We went over our budget for the venue, but it was honestly worth it as it was perfect for us. The Ballara team was also lovely to work with! They spent countless hours answering my questions and providing suggestions when I was unsure. I really appreciate Amanda and Popy for their support with my big day!
