We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding! From the first meeting, until after our wedding, we felt so welcome and supported. Christine, Popy, and Tanya were lovely to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process, and on the day everything ran smoothly thanks to Tanya, Tearna, and the food and beverage staff. All of our guests loved the venue, and could not stop commenting on how professional everything was, and how amazing the food was! There are different packages to choose from, different upgrades and add-ons, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony options. You don't need to leave the venue between ceremony and reception to take photos as there are countless photo locations on the property! To anyone thinking of booking their own wedding at Ballara, you won't regret it! Thank you so much to the team at Ballara!!

We hired Beck and her team from the Baker Boys Band for a 6 hour set and wow wasn’t it AWESOME. They brought the vibes from cocktail hour until midnight and had people on the dance floor even before we’d sat down for dinner. 10/10 would recommend

We seriously could not have asked for a better wedding. From the moment we met Suzie, we felt at ease and were very confident in having chosen the right venue and having her by our side. Fast forward to now with the wedding all done and dusted, the venue was fantastic but without her it wouldn’t have been the same.  Looking back on our day, she was there with us with a high level of professionalism that only comes with experience and both Suzie and Liliana executed everything perfectly. We also loved Mari and appreciated her really looking after us during the evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the table service provided throughout the night was fantastic. We are not alone in saying this as the most common feedback throughout the week from guests has been the phenomenal food and the brilliant service received. We honestly cannot praise the venue and team enough for putting together and hosting our wedding day. It turned out to be better than we expected and wish the day/night didn’t go so quick.

Rob from Elevation Band was phenomenal. Communication from the start was great, we requested he play Spanish guitar while our guests ate dinner and set such a wonderful ambience around the room!

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.

Ferrari Formal in Essendon was great. Found us the perfect Groom Suit, very timeless and elegant. The hiring process was very smooth.

Liam from DJ Masters did an incredible job DJing our wedding. We had a lot of fairly specific requests including a couple of custom songs we needed to upload as mp3s but this was all available through the DJ Masters portal which was very easy to use. On the day none of this got lost in translation and he did everything perfectly. He was friendly and professional and honestly could not fault him. The lighting set up was a great touch too and the dancefloor was full all night. The package was quite a bit cheaper than some other options we had seen but can't really think of anything that could have been improved so definitely highly recommend!!

Everything was perfect, the venue, the service, the food. Spectacular location with the Opera House as a backdrop. Just perfect.

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!

My guest haven't stopped talking about our wedding here . Food ; venue; organisation on the day and beforehand was second to none. Food and beverage and events were 5 star. Hotel stay was terrible . Shocking service on the other end and ruined my perfect evening which was a shame. My advice have your wedding there and stay elsewhere.
