We just want to extend our gratitude for the absolutely amazing day we had yesterday, it couldn’t have been more perfect and was literally our dream wedding. Thank you so much for everything you both have done to make this day a possibility, without your help and guidance around everything we couldn’t have made it. We also want to extend our gratitude to the team who worked on the night, they were extremely kind, professional and just displayed the best service to us and all our guests. We want to say a big thank you to Max as well, she was amazing and ensured everything went smoothly. We received numerous compliments about the amazing venue and never ending comments about the amazing food and deserts. We couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful, thank you again, please pass our thanks on to the wider team as well and Rachel as well please. We hope to be attending the venue again in the future as guests and will most definitely be attending future fathers and mothers day lunches.

We wanted to say thank you so much for the most incredible wedding day. We were absolutely blown away on the day by all the staff, and of course the beautiful venue. All our guests have told us they were amazed by the staff's efficiency, kindness and organisation. A special thank you to Will who went out of his way to help all our guests with dietaries- my aunt with severe allergies said she felt really safe and so well looked after, so thank you. The food was absolutely incredible and our lovely bartender had the best energy!! It has been such a treat planning a wedding with your team, you made it so easy and effortless. We sincerely hope someone we know gets married at Markovina so we can come back!

I thought I’d just email on behalf of Lone and I to say thank you 🤍 yesterday was such a seamless day and from the moment we got there to the moment we left, everyone working from the front to back of house at Markovina was incredible! Will is such a great manager & at no point were we worried or stressed about what we had to do or what needed to be done, Will was on to it and always checking in and making sure we were ok. So thank you for providing us with the amazing Will! We were definitely blessed to have him and your amazing staff running the show! Thank you Kat for your help this whole journey, you have an exceptional person to deal with and we are so so so grateful we were able to plan this wedding with your help. May God always bless you in all aspects of life and may your cup always be full

We could not be happier with how the day turned out and have had the most amazing feedback from our guests, so we would like to say the biggest thank you for making our day turn out so magical. Everything ran so smoothly, we were blown away with how amazing everything looked, and our guests absolutely loved the venue, and said that was a big part of why it was such an incredible experience. Personally, we have had seamless process start-to-finish with both Katrina and Mark, and Max was an absolute superstar on the day! We also can't forget the beautiful on arrival greeting from mum with the wine and hugs as well! She was so lovely. We are so grateful with how Max and the rest of the team went above and beyond on the day/night. Our flowers all still looked incredible the next day thanks to them, and everything being cleaned and put back into their boxes to take back to the rental companies was a massive weight off our shoulders. We just want to do it all again with you guys! It truly was the best day of our lives, thank you for providing and incredible venue and an amazing team to go alongside it!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our special day so effortless and seamless. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to you all for hosting our beautiful wedding. The entire day was effortless and seamless, and it is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of your incredible team. We would like to give special recognition to Max, who was absolutely outstanding. Her invaluable advice in the lead-up to the wedding provided us with so much reassurance, and her support on the day was exemplary. Max's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything ran smoothly did not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for her efforts. Our thanks also extend to Katrina for her exceptional organisational skills and her warm, contagious smile. Both Max, Mark and Katrina played pivotal roles in making our day as special as it was. The food, in particular, was a highlight for everyone. The inclusion of the Samoan dessert was such a thoughtful touch and added an extra layer of meaning to our day, which we greatly appreciated.

We are so grateful to have held our wedding in Markovina. It was magical and stunning! Customer Service has been exceptional, since day one. A very beautiful venue. Foods and drinks were so good.

We recently had our wedding at Markovina and we were incredibly impressed with the dedication of the staff and how much attention to detail there was at each of our planning meetings. Kat, Mark and William were all amazing to work with prior to the wedding. Anna and Alex were our managers on the day and they did an incredible job. Rina also greeted us on the day and she has an incredibly warm presence and makes you feel very welcome. We are so thankful to the entire team here and they are all passionate about what they do. If you are thinking of this venue, don’t hesitate because you are in safe hands.

We had the most wonderful experience having our wedding at Markovina. ❤️ We could of not ask for anything better than the hospitality we received on the whole experience. The process from start to finish was smooth & painless, from the introduction, admin & planning with Kat & Mark. To on the wedding day with Max, running the show like a boss! The venue is so lovely, it has light whimsical feel with its indoor vines & warm fireplace, and plenty of great outdoor spaces to choose for your ceremony or photos. On the day, the staff were professional & attentive, and the food the chefs bought out was delicious & presented well. We’d recommend to anyone to use them for a wedding, personal or corporate event, it’s perfect.

We were incredibly impressed with both the venue and how it was presented, from our first initial viewing right up to the big day. We were also blown away by the commitment and professionalism of the team and everyone that we had the pleasure of meeting (both on the day and the planning/leadup to it) and felt they went above and beyond to ensure every detail was considered and accounted for. Most of all, we appreciated the warm and welcome atmosphere presented within Markovina from start to finish.

Thank you so much to everyone involved in making our special day run so seamlessly. Everyone was amazing and all our friends and family raved about how organised our day was (they tried to give us the credit for this, but we corrected them and said it was all down to Markovina), how amazing the venue looked and how delicious the food was - a special mention to the dessert bar which was mentioned by many guests as being the best dessert they'd ever had at a wedding. Thank you again for all of your work in the lead up and we really hope that one day we will get to return as guests!

We will remember the day for the rest of our lives :)
