Quite literally every single detail and everything about the wedding. Serafino staff and Maria made the process and the day as smooth as possible. They were all so kind and welcoming, and made sure that we were heard and listened to. We have zero complaints and Serafino went above and beyond for us. It was truly the best day. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We’re so thankful.

- punctual and very prompt wedding coordinator leading up to the day - flexible with timing, clear with bump ins and outs - clear yes and nos - accessible, no noise restrictions after 8pm as in middle of city and shopping district is closed - excellent food and service

We had our wedding at Sandalford on the 7th of March 2026. We loved the venue from the first moment we saw it and the service provided by the staff was an added bonus. Megan the Wedding Co-ordinator was exceptional during the whole planning process, keeping us up to date with everything we needed to do. She was always professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with, nothing was ever too much trouble. We were especially grateful on our wedding day that she was there to ensure everything looked beautiful and it did and also that things ran smoothly which it also did. The guests commented on the delicious food and the exceptional service provided. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a more special day! A big thank you to Megan for all her efforts and for making our day so wonderful. Thanks also to everyone at Sandalford Wines for your organisation and service. Highly recommend this venue.

We cannot thank the team enough for creating such an extraordinary and seamless wedding experience for us. From our very first enquiry through to the final moments of the evening, everything was handled with exceptional care and professionalism. Christine Hinson was an absolute delight from the outset. She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the booking process. Her thoughtful (and pressure-free) note that another couple was considering our date helped us make our decision with confidence. She answered every question with patience and warmth, and we’re so grateful for her support in securing our date for what was quite a bespoke celebration. About six months before the wedding, Lana stepped in as our Event Sales Manager and she was truly outstanding. Nothing was ever too difficult, and she worked closely with us to bring every detail to life. Her organisation, responsiveness and calm guidance made the planning process feel effortless. On the day itself, Abby was wonderful — calm, friendly and solutions-focused (she even managed to source a replacement veil for me just in time for photos!). Later in the evening, Thomas took over and continued that same level of attentiveness and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly, and both he and the wider team ensured every guest felt genuinely looked after. The food deserves special mention. The Head Chef and kitchen team were phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and served at the perfect temperature, with dietary requirements handled thoughtfully and without fuss. Our guests are still talking about the winter pavlova! The children and late-night guests were also catered for so generously, which we truly appreciated. The wait staff were warm, attentive and polished throughout the entire evening. Even the shuttle driver went above and beyond, making additional trips to ensure guests travelling between cars and home were accommodated comfortably. The team, the food, the service and the breathtaking setting all came together to create the most magical day of our lives.

Nick was basically in charge of curating the vibe of the reception and he absolutely nailed it. His acoustic playing during the dinner service was amazing and many of our guests complimented it as well. His rendition of Skinny Love is going to occupy our brain for a long long time. Then of course the DJ portion and dance floor was equally incredible. The floor was never empty and he used the playlist we had provided to make everything flow well. Hiring Nick was definitely a highlight and would absolutely recommend him for weddings and events.

Thank you guys so much - what a special way to make it to the church in Avalon, the boys had the best time!!! They enjoyed the limo and the drinks helped ease the nerves. They felt so relaxed and at ease with their driver and were very impressed ! Thanks so much Jess & Anthony

Having our wedding celebration at Marybrooke Manor in April was the best decision we could have ever made. We cannot provide anything less than a 10/10, if anything, we wish we could give an even larger score! We knew when we came for our first visit that Marybrooke Manor was the one. From the venue, the view, the surrounding nature, Deborah and Andrew. They made us feel extremely comfortable the whole planning process and we felt so at ease. When the day came along and we finally arrived after the ceremony, all we felt was joy and couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole evening. The outdoor area, reception room, accommodation, food (it was massive, everyone had their filled and loved every bite), drinks and more were perfect. We really appreciate the effort and love put into it, by Deborah, Andrew and the workers from the night. They were lovely! Our only desire is that the evening lasted forever and that we could enjoy it once again.

Wow! What a venue! Tatra Receptions was truly an amazing and magical place for our big day and we loved every moment of it! The grounds are absolutely stunning and we loved that there was multiple options of locations to host the ceremony. We were fortunate for a glorious sunny day so the outdoor Cupola was just perfect! The staff at Tatra were super helpful and very accommodating for our all needs. The food was delicious and having onsite accommodation for our guests is a big win! Tatra really ticked all our boxes and we highly recommend. To the staff at Tatra (especially Dearna, Bridget, Erin & Shelby) well done on making our day as magical as it was!
