robyn foskett2024-05-24What an absolutely beautiful venue!! 10/10 on every score!!Jamie Mackinnon2024-05-22I first seen ballara well over 6 years ago and fell in love. The grounds are absolutely perfect. After a rocky start of being late, Loretta ensured everything would be ok and walked us through everything. My husband and I just wanted to seal the deal after already raising a family. I wouldn’t do it anywhere else. The guests have raved about the food and how beautiful the chapel was. But weddings aren’t done in a day and from the very first moment we booked we had so much communication from Ballara and the team. So many e-mails giving us pointers on so many things. Loretta couldn’t have been more attentive in ensuring we had everything we needed. I think my husband only said that the drinks were coming out slow but he and his mates can drink so that wouldn’t be hard. It went so fast I wish I could’ve taken more in and enjoyed how amazing the venue was a little longer. Thank you again.Cobie Dixon2024-05-22We had our ceremony here in the chapel and photos in the gardens. Everyone on the team honestly made the day so special. They made the effort from the start to ensure that we would have such a perfect day. I would highly recommend to anyone that they get married here - the place is just stunning and the staff go above and beyond to create the best day that you won’t forget.Bianca C2024-05-09We looked at quite a few venues for our wedding but chose Ballara due to its convenient suburban location while still being set on beautiful gardens for photos. The staff, especially Popy, were enthusiastic and welcoming. They made the process of organising our wedding super easy and responded to all our queries with understanding and professionalism. Popy was excellent at providing us with guidance on the day to calm our nerves. The bridal attendant also looked after us on the day and made us comfortable. Our actual wedding day went amazingly well. This is a credit to the organisation and attention to detail of the staff here. Each and every one of their recommended suppliers exceeded our expectations. Ballara's food was an absolute standout- five stars, generous portions and delicious! Our guests commented on how wonderful their meals were. If you are looking for a traditional yet classy venue your best possible wedding, this is it!Pia2024-05-02When looking at wedding receptions for our March 2024 wedding we had looked at a few places.
