Couples' reviews

My wife and I held our wedding at the Marion in late 2024 and it was beyond the most perfect venue we could have asked for. From the moment we first laid eyes on the site we were in love: the main reception hall is gorgeously furnished and has sweeping views of the central basin of the lake and all of Canberra's landmarks. The outdoor space underneath the hall is equally stunning and there is even a spacey private room that you can use as a bridal suite for changing, getting ready, storage or a quiet room for guests. The food was incredibly delicious; we were able to sample the season's menu well in advance and having to make a choice between the options was almost impossible. The staff were all so helpful and easy to work with. Jess was an amazing support throughout the planning process and accommodated all our requests, like holding our ceremony on the deck but still using the outdoor space underneath the main hall for a cocktail hour. She also coordinated with all of our vendors which was such a help especially in the final couple days. Nabin and Abira were also amazing event managers during our reception and kept everything going smoothly throughout the night. Lastly, as a queer couple we were specifically looking for a safe and inclusive venue to celebrate with our loved ones and chosen family - the Marion provided that in spades and we would definitely recommend them to others like us.
