What you can expect when booking Kalinya Estate for your wedding:
What are three things couples love about working with you?
"My new husband and I were recently married at Kalinya Estate. Our entire experience with Mandy and Bec was faultless. While looking for our venue we visited a few other places that just didn't feel right and often the services provided were a one size fits all approach, with no leeway for what we wanted for our day. As soon as we met Mandy the first thing she asked was 'what do you want your day to look like?' and she did absolutely everything to assist us with a bespoke day that was absolutely perfect for us. From the beautiful manicured gardens, to the grand lodgings, the plethora of activities and... OH THE PIANO BAR! This place is all of the elegance without any pretentiousness. Future celebrations are looking great at Kalinya!" Nicole
