Amazing ambience, venue staff, food - ingredients for a great event. Aparna was always available to answer questions and put our mind at ease on the days leading up. Could not have chosen a better venue, honestly.

We celebrated our wedding at Wattle Park and it was a fantastic event! We were seeking a venue which was not stereotypical wedding venue which was close to the city and was very happy to find them. The food was incredible, the venue had an amazing atmosphere and everyone had a really wonderful time. The staff were really accommodating to all of our requests (including drinks, helps organise shade umbrellas us for and being flexible in tailoring the wedding we wanted) and they were very helpful and easy going to deal with during a stressful time of planning a wedding. We received a lot of great feedback from guest who really loved Wattle Park and enjoyed the event and we are extremely happy we chose them for our wedding venue.

Wow wow wow! What a stunning venue and incredible team! I booked my wedding several years ago before covid hit and have rescheduled twice, Nathan and the team at Wattle Park have been incredibly patient with me. They went above and beyond to cater to my requests, letting me drop off decorations early when I needed to, letting my stylists in early on the day to setup, liaising with all my vendors to make it easier for me, they were just a dream to work with. The food was AMAZING, all the guests have not stopped talking about it, and the service on the day was just exceptional. In addition to all that, the venue itself is just so so beautiful and was exactly what I was looking for for my small wedding of 50 guests. I cannot be happier with how everything came together on the day, thank you!

We got married here on January 5!! Venue has a very cozy atmosphere. In fact, it was the first venue that we looked at and liked it straight away. We didn’t put much decoration on the venue because it already looked good by itself. The manager was really easy to talk to and always made time for us whenever we wanted to come take a look at the venue!! Price of the venue’s worth it and won’t break your bank. Highly recommended!!!
