- BBrianna Perez27/04/2024phenomenal!phenomenal!We had our wedding here in 2023. Ben Ean have been a phenomenal company right from our first meeting. Touring the property we recognised that no matter if it was raining or the sun was shining this would be the perfect spot for our wedding. We had our ceremony at the Fig Tree, pre-dinner drinks in the Garden Terrace and then reception in the Courtyard. The food was excellent, drink choices were outstanding and the staff did so well to make our vision come to life. Darcie was so quick [...]We had our wedding here in 2023.
