Venues Reviews

Wow Panama! Truly the best venue to hold our ceremony and wedding - not only is it the most beautiful setting, the team (led by Luke, Dan, and Amy) are a well oiled machine making sure we felt completely comfortable and confident the whole way through. Somehow they kept their cool despite us needing to postpone our wedding twice and they continued to keep us updated throughout changing COVID restrictions and ensured we all had the best (and safest) day possible. Guests are still talking about the venue, great service and incredible food so thank you to the Panama team for making our wedding day truly wonderful.

Unbelievable! Sara, Elie and the whole team did an incredible job of making our wedding absolutely perfect. From the beginning they were all so easy to deal with and we have had so many guests contact to say that the food, wine and service was excellent. Lots of comments that it was the best wedding they have been to! We cannot recommend Fergussons enough for a high quality, intimate wedding filled with charm.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing experience at Ding Dang Doo Estate for our wedding. We were lucky enough to have an incredible wedding planner, Gina, who really listened to all of our requests and made our dream wedding a reality. Gina went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for us. One of the things that really stood out to us about Ding Dang Doo Estate was the incredible value for money. Compared to other wedding venues on the market, Ding Dang Doo Estate offered an unbeatable price point without sacrificing on quality. We were blown away by how much we were able to get for our money, and we're so grateful that we were able to have our special day at such an incredible location. The estate itself was stunning, with beautiful grounds and stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony

From the moment my husband and I stepped foot onto Ginninderry Homestead, we knew we’d found the venue we wanted for our wedding. The grounds are magnificent and fitted with the rustic country estate vibe that we were going for. Also the fact that you book the entire venue from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, with enough accommodation on site for the bridal party meant that set-up and logistics was an absolute breeze – we were able to do a ceremony rehearsal on site on the Friday and set up random bits and pieces for the reception. Sharon and Amelia were wonderful to work with both in the lead up and during the event – no question or request was too much and communication was excellent throughout. Sharon became like our fairy godmother in the lead up, we had a few last-minute unanticipated changes and she did everything in her power to make sure everything was perfect for us. The food was also incredible, and we had so many compliments afterwards from guests saying that it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! Thank you so much to Sharon and her team for making our day truly magical – we would highly recommend Ginninderry Homestead as a venue for any function, but particularly for weddings, it’s a magical place that needs to be seen and experienced first-hand!

My husband and I got married on the 17th of June 2023 and it was the most magical day. From the moment I contacted Vanessa, it was so easy and she felt like someone I had known forever! Vanessa put up with so much indecisiveness from me and was happy to accomodate to my changes when needed and was happy to make the required changes to suit the style of our wedding. We had a cocktail wedding with a bar tab and had majority of our guests staying at the hotel the night before and the night of the wedding. Our wedding day was absolutely magical, Vanessa checked in all day/night and could not fault anyone or anything. The venue was stunning, we got photos on site and didn't need to leave for anything. Absolutely incredible, I would recommend to anyone!

Araluen Estate was such a beautiful venue for our wedding. Erin and the team were outstanding. Super helpful and everyone was very friendly on the day. Service was excellent, food fantastic, bar staff had drinks on the go all night. Araluen was definitely the right choice and we couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys for your amazing work and making our night truly special.

Julia and Adam, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us to make our wedding day so amazing and memorable! Wish we could do it all over again! I had so many people comment on the venue, they absolutely loved it, and so did we. I can’t stop looking through all the photos. What an incredible place, team, and vibe. Xx

The Boathouse Shelly Beach were great to deal with from the start. From our first meeting we knew we wanted to have our Wedding there. The venue is very special, but the staff take it to the next level. They were so accommodating, efficient and lovely. The staff that worked on the night of our small wedding were excellent. They were friendly, efficient and made the night so wonderful. Everyone commented on how good the food and wine was. We had such an amazing night and can't thank them enough.
