Couples' reviews

One month ago on 8th Oct, we had the most joyful wedding reception lunch (and afternoon) at this wonderful venue. From our first meeting with Linda, to saying our goodbyes at the end of our reception, every interaction was a positive, enjoyable experience. Linda listened to us patiently and offered suggestions as our plans evolved from a small table of 10 on the deck to quite a few more guests in the Ivy Room! (Linda also referred us to Monstera Flowers - another great local business in Williamstown which we highly recommend). Without her input, we would not have had the most wonderful experience that was our wedding celebration. Joey, Olivia and Jason delivered service beyond expectation! The food was exquisite with a variety of dietary requirements catered for (thankyou Chef Hoi!), the wine/drinks selection was just right (thanks to Linda's recommendations!) the service was impeccable and the setting with views wa breathtaking. Every one of our guests commented on the fantastic location, the ambience, the delicious food, the wine and how wonderful the staff were (not just for their service, but for their professionalism, friendliness and genuine concern to make sure everyone was attended to). Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely!! We cannot recommend the team at The Strand highly enough - they contributed to making our wedding day celebration most memorable! We have been to the restaurant previously for lunches and dinner and on every occasion, the experience has been wonderful!

The Iridis team created my bridal makeup look and I cannot recommend them highly enough! What P-G and Vanessa did for me on my wedding day was amazing – with their professionalism, artistic flair and pampering, they made me feel SO glamorous and beautiful! 💕 Not being accustomed to wearing makeup regularly, I often feel uncomfortable with makeup on my skin, but I didn’t feel awkward or self-conscious at all - I just felt like a glamorous version of me! I had so much fun during the process ♥️ From the initial trial session, P-G’s suggestions for my hair and makeup and willingness to make changes, all contributed to the beautiful look she created for me on the day. P-G took the time to listen, considered my dress and the overall look that I was hoping for. (I also loved the brow and lash services along the way!) My hubby was absolutely blown away - ‘stunning’ were his words and he was thrilled that I still looked like me🥰 Everyone commented on my look - P-G definitely brought out my best self! My makeup lasted all day - no small feat for a morning wedding - it was the same from when I left for the ceremony through until midnight when I had to remove it (almost 15hrs!) Even despite more than a few tears, I didn’t need to touch it up - I only had to add a little more lippy! P-G’s vibrant energy is infectious and was also calming for me - which is just what I needed on the day! We had a lot of laughs and they made the whole process fun 🤩 Along with Vanessa, who is an absolute gem making sure everyone is being looked after, they’re a great team! 💕
