AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
Couples will find a wedding experience that feels seamless and joyful with this team. Guests praised remarkable food, attentive service, and a calm, organized approach led by accommodating coordinators who coordinated with other vendors to ensure smooth execution. The venue choices—the Rosina room and the chapel at Abbotsford Convent—provide a stunning setting that shines even in uncertain weather, with the garden ceremony and elegant cocktail hour standing out. The team’s proactive communication, professional on-the-day management, and inclusive dietary catering help put couples at ease. Minor pre-event coordination hiccups noted, but the day delivered beautifully.

May 2021

This venue is absolutely spectacular - we hardly needed to do any decorating because the venue speaks for itself. We were married in the Chapel and had our reception in the Rosina function space. The food and service on the day was amazing. Sam, who ran the floor, was absolutely wonderful - she was all over everything and nothing was an issue. She went above and beyond. We had an absolutely perfect day. We did have some communication issues with our event coordinator in the leadup to the day, but it all worked out in the end.

They were really good, we had everything there in the gardens. It was a beautiful day there, and food was fantastic! Each time they were easy to contact and really easy to deal with whenever I had any questions.

April 2019

They were really good! The day before it rained quite heavily and they took care of the area we wanted really well and made sure it would be perfect for our wedding. They were so professional and really knew what they were doing.
