We had our wedding at Ballara Receptions in May, and it was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful venue and stunning gardens to the exceptional service, everything exceeded our expectations.

The team was incredibly organised, professional, and attentive throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. They made everything run smoothly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our wedding.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. We couldnโ€™t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day.

Thank you to the entire Ballara team for helping create memories that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Ballara Receptions to any couple looking for a magical wedding venue.

We had our wedding reception at Ballara on a beautiful winter day in June this year. The gardens were just as beautiful as when we came for our food tasting in the Summer and looked so whimsical and magical in our photos! The staff at Ballara were so friendly and accommodated all our needs and any questions I had were answered very promptly and clearly. The food was also amazing, lots of relatives gave many compliments. Overall we had a fantastic experience at Ballara and highly recommend to anyone in need of a venue.

We couldnโ€™t have picked a better spot for our wedding - seeing all of our photos has reminded us just how magical the entire experience was from start to finish.

A massive thank you to Popy and the whole team at Ballara for making our day so seamless and special. Popy was incredible to work with, and she was spot on - the food was absolutely fantastic!

I also want to give a special shoutout to our concierge, Julie, who looked after my wife on the day. Her attentiveness, warmth, and help behind the scenes made a world of difference and kept everything running beautifully.

If you want a flawless, stress-free, and truly magical wedding day, we cannot recommend Ballara highly enough. Thank you so much!

When deciding a venue for our wedding, Ballara was the name on everyoneโ€™s lips. Coming so highly regarded, expectations were high and we couldnโ€™t be more happy with their performance and willingness to work with us to ensure our special day was executed to perfection.

From the very start of the process, from arranging meetings, to organising the last minute details, there was sense of efficiency and professionalism in their communication. Ballara truly listened with attention and care to our wishes and offered expert suggestion to what would best bring our vision into reality. Their adaptability to accommodate our needs and requests (even alterations on the day itself) were first-class and really contributed towards the event being received so well by guests.

We felt safe with Popy and the team directing operations and, in hindsight, wouldnโ€™t have entrusted anyone else to realise our dream.

Ballara Receptions was perfect from beginning to the end for our wedding experience!
From our initial tour, to the food tastings and expo days and finally to our big day, we have loved visiting and coming to Ballara every time.

Tanya, Christine and Popy have been incredible to be in contact with, no question is a silly question and they made us so secure knowing that they are experts at what they do and that they will ensure our day is perfect!

We had Popy as our function manager for the day, she was attentive and made sure the day ran smoothly with our vendors.

Special shoutout to Hannah who was the bridal assistant for the day, Hannah made sure my train was held and tidy, that myself and my husband were fed and drinks. Hannah even came and assisted with bustling my dress before the reception! Hannah was such a gem and my genuine highlight of Ballara and their commitment to our weddings.

Finally, every single guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food was and how much they also loved all the photo opportunities! The garden was so perfect and everyone loved it.

Thankyou so much for providing such a beautiful space for our big day, I would choose Ballara again and again.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding! From the first meeting, until after our wedding, we felt so welcome and supported. Christine, Popy, and Tanya were lovely to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process, and on the day everything ran smoothly thanks to Tanya, Tearna, and the food and beverage staff.

All of our guests loved the venue, and could not stop commenting on how professional everything was, and how amazing the food was!

There are different packages to choose from, different upgrades and add-ons, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony options.

You don't need to leave the venue between ceremony and reception to take photos as there are countless photo locations on the property!

To anyone thinking of booking their own wedding at Ballara, you won't regret it!

Thank you so much to the team at Ballara!!

I truly cannot think of a better venue. They offer great options for both the ceremony and reception and their packages are extremely generous. The team is unbeatable, they are reliable and genuinely passionate about what they do. I had Popy and Tanya helping me throughout most of my wedding meetings and enquiries, and they were amazing. I cannot thank them enough for the dedication they show in their work; it really shines through.

I was given Aleisha as my coordinator for the wedding day, and she was an absolute gem. I was so blessed to have her and concierge Hannah by our side. They made sure everything ran smoothly, were so professional and understanding, and handled the day with such care. Aleisha even allowed my husband and I to dance a little overtime because of all our reception surprises and photos, she truly made me so happy.

I cannot recommend this venue enough. I would get married again next week if I could😂 We loved them! A true 10/10 venue, team and overall experience!
Thank you so much ladies for making our dream wedding a reality✨🫶🏽

As a wedding videographer, Iรขโ‚ฌ™ve had the pleasure of working at many venues, but this one truly stands out. The staff here is exceptional. Popi, the coordinator, was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond to assist me and my team. Eliza, who guided the couple during their session, provided outstanding serviceรขโ‚ฌโ€something Iรขโ‚ฌ™ve rarely seen at other venues. Without a doubt, this place deserves a full 5-star rating!

We cannot thank Tanya, Ballara Receptions enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

A huge thanks to the amazing chefs for preparing such wonderful meals that our guests absolutely loved. Special thanks to Hannah, who consistently checked on us throughout the day and ensured that all our needs were met with such care and attention.

As an Asian couple, we deeply appreciate how the Ballara team, especially Tanya went above and beyond to accommodate our traditions, making everything flow seamlessly. From the stunning ceremony setup to the thoughtful creation of envelopes for our guests, every detail was executed with perfection.

We would highly recommend Ballara Receptions for their exceptional service, professionalism, and dedication to creating masterpiece weddings.

Thank you once again for everything!

Warm regards,

We had our wedding at Ballara on the 7 December and it was the most perfect wedding. Ballara made the whole wedding planning so easy and simple. From the initial stages of signing the contract all the way through to the day of the wedding. Never any issues contacting them and they were always more than happy to answer my never ending questions.
They go over and beyond for you and are so accommodating.
The whole team are incredible. Our guests raved on to us about how amazing the venue itself was as well as how incredible the food was. Special mention to our wedding coordinator Popy and Tiarna who were incredible on the day of the wedding. Popy ensured our wedding day ran smoothly and attended to all our guests. Tiarna was with us the whole night getting us whatever we needed and made sure we were well taken care of. Could not recommend Ballara highly enough for a wedding or any other function. Beyond grateful to them. Thanks for making our special day one we will never forget.

Ballara itself was beautiful. We loved the garden and the ballroom but our coordinator was not accommodating at all. First she made a big deal about us having a DJ and a band. Then we were told we could not display pictures on a projector because they didn't have one. So we specifically bought one, and on the day was told we couldn't use it anyway because there's no space. Then we were not allowed to so entrees during speeches or play the DJ/band while dinner. This pushed us so behind that we only got 1 hour of dancing. Even wasnt allowed to throw my bouqet unless i faced a certain way and as soon as 11PM hit, the lights were turned on. We couldnt even get an extra minute to walk out, even though it was obvious we were farewelling the people on our way out. Would not recommend the venue unless you want to be told what your wedding should and shouldn't look like, with no personal touches.

The food was amazing, my guests are still talking about the food and the amazing garden and how beautiful the venue is.
Thank you to Popy especially, for managing our function smoothly, she was very organised and lovely to work with.
I cannot recommend Ballara enough to everyone!

We couldnรขโ‚ฌ™t have had the day we had without the ladies in Ballara, my husband and I were so appreciative of all their hard work. What a gorgeous, beautiful place to celebrate your special day. We had no stress in dealing with everyone there. We can't stress enough how happy we are with everything. Thank you so much Ballara!

Where do we start. Ballara is a truly beautiful place to choose as a wedding venue. We had Loretta run our day and she did an amazing job, along with all the staff. The endless backdrop for our photos were phenomenal, the food was divine and everything run like clock work with no stress. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

The venue is gorgeous. It provided us with plenty photo opportunities and it looks absolutely amazing on photos. It's located in a really convenient place too, making it easier for our family and friends to travel. We had our lovely wedding here and we love the support provided by the staff. Special thanks to our function manager Jane. She's really nice, kind, professional and makes things run smoothly. The food is also delicious. All our guests love the food, especially the children who came along with their parents. They really enjoyed their time here. We'd definitely recommend this place to our friends.
