We cannot put into words how grateful we are to Essendon for giving us the most amazing venue and wedding day! Right from the beginning when we were looking at venues, this ended up being the only venue we actually went to see because we fell in love with it straight away! We were worried that we would never be lucky enough to get married in such a beautiful venue so didn't want to get our hopes up, but you guys made this possible for us which we are just so grateful for. Every little worry or silly question I had was answered or I was reassured by you every step of the way which really makes a difference! There is nothing I would have changed about our wedding day all thanks to you and your team!

We cannot put into words how grateful we are to Essendon for giving us the most amazing venue and wedding day!

We were worried that we would never be lucky enough to get married in such a beautiful venue so didn't want to get our hopes up, but you guys made this possible for us which we are just so grateful for.
Even before we put the deposit down, you were there at the end of an email/ phone call for the many silly questions we had!
We were able to have tasting evenings and meetings with you to make sure the day went so perfectly which meant we didn't have to worry about the venue or catering side of the wedding at all!

There was not a second of it we would have changed. It was incredible!
Largely that is down to your flawless planning and attention to detail throughout the planning and on the day itself. You made us feel so relaxed throughout and we never once felt there was any aspect unaccounted for or not under control. From the initial venue visit and planning meeting, to the ceremony and reception we have enjoyed every moment!

The day itself is second to none as the best day Ola and I have ever had. The venue was perfect and all the staff at ECC worked tirelessly to ensure guests were catered and taken care of to the highest of standards. Ola and I ourselves felt like rock stars.

Well what can we say.... firstly we literally can’t thank Essendon enough for everything you have done for us on the lead up to our BIG DAY but also how amazing you made our magical day! From all the pre-wedding meetings, heartfelt emails and personal touches on the day, you made the whole journey seem seamless! We had so much fun planning the wedding, and wouldn’t have had it any other way!

We had the most AMAZING day. We could not have asked for more from this venue. The barn is so beautiful on the eye, the staff are fantastic and the food is excellent. Jo, the wedding manager is so lovely, and could not have done any more to to ensure that the day was a success. A big thank you to Jo and all the staff for making our wedding day so special.

There really is insufficient space here to express my gratitude to Jo and her superb team for putting in effort, over and above, in order to make my daughter’s wedding so wonderful. We were confident that Jo would have always made the day special but, we were unfortunately caught in the snow of Sunday 10th December and we had to cancel, hours before the ceremony. BUT, Jo determined and dedicated, the wedding went ahead a few days later, with everything just as had been planned earlier. I don’t think anyone could have pulled it of as well as Jo did. We had an incredible wedding, thanks to Jo, her team and the stunning venue.
