- WWyatt Chant16/08/2024Wedding Venue Heroes - Saved Our Day in 3 Weeks!Wedding Venue Heroes - Saved Our Day in 3 Weeks!These people are amazing, They saved us and saved our wedding on 3 weeks notice!!!! We found ourselves without a venue after the previous one threatened to cancel our event if we didn't pay them another $6000 outside our contract (Rock Art Events). Alice worked until past 9:30 pm and found us three venues to view the next day. The amount of time and effort they went to was incredible and we will be sending anyone that will listen to them for future events.These people are amazing, They saved us and saved our wedding on 3 weeks notice!!!!

- MMandi Kontos16/08/2024Magical Wedding Venue with Minor HiccupsMagical Wedding Venue with Minor HiccupsMy husband and I had our wedding here a year ago, the night was magical with a few minor hiccups - coffee and tea weren't served, and some guests found that their meals weren't right but all in all everyone had a great time. The organisation of the team was wonderful, we had the luxury of dealing with Rachel and then moving onto Claire, when she moved on, and there was not much we had to worry about. The venue was amazing and we are so grateful to have such a wonderful day.My husband and I had our wedding here a year ago, the night was magical with a few minor hiccups - coffee and tea weren't served, and some guests found that their meals weren't right but all in all everyone had a great time.
