Our wedding day was honestly perfect, and so much of that is because of you and your staff. From the very start of the planning right through to the day itself, everyone was so helpful, kind, and easy to work with. We always felt supported and looked after, which made the whole process so much less stressful. We also have to talk about the food — it was amazing. Our guests can’t stop raving about it, and so many people said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. My only regret is that I didn’t get to eat more of it (classic bride problem!). The service was great, the venue looked beautiful, and everything just ran so smoothly. We’re really grateful for all the effort you and your team put into making our day so special. Thanks again for everything — we couldn’t have picked a better place to get married. We can’t wait to go back to Markovina as guests of future weddings!

Thank you so much, we had the most incredible fairytale day. It was truly better than we could imagine - my jaw DROPPED when I walked down the aisle, everything looked beautiful! All of our vendors were incredible, Anna and the team on the day were just amazing as well - so attentive, kind, and all were so happy to be there! I spoke to a few of the staff, and so did my maid of honour, and all said they loved working at Markovina as they felt they were making a positive impact and difference in people’s lives, which was just the best thing to hear. Please pass along our sincerely thank yous to everyone who was working! We had SO many compliments from our guests on the drinks, the food, and the venue as a whole. Rina is sunshine in human form too! She was almost more excited than us on the day, and was so warm and lovely, always making sure we had exactly what we needed. We also saw Mark who came over to say hello and congratulations in our cocktail hour, and he was making sure everything was perfect for us too. I want all future brides to know just how perfect everything was!

From the spectacular and stunning venue, to the elegant décor and finer details, the delicious canapés and menu, and the outstanding service and professionalism of your staff — everything came together perfectly and exceeded our expectations. A very special mention to Maxine & Will, truly the best event managers ever! Thank you both for being so accommodating and patient — nothing was ever an issue, and you always went the extra mile to make things easier for us. You welcomed it all with warmth and understanding, and for that, we are forever thankful. A true highlight for me personally was seeing Mrs. Markovina aka Rina - Mum come out to personally greet the bride and her party, and to welcome them to the bridal room. As Samoans, family is everything, especially our mothers. That beautiful gesture spoke volumes and truly touched our hearts. Thank you again for making Tinei & Tremain’s special day unforgettable.

My husband and I, we would like to extend our heartfelt grattitude and thanks to you and your team for putting on such a magical day for us. Katrina, in the lead up to our big day, your constant communication and adjustments of our planning sheet really took the stress off of us. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! Anna, our on-the-day coordinator, you were nothing short of amazing! We did not expect that your service would go beyond our expectations on our special day. Thank you for your continuous support towards us throughout the day. From the moment I arrived, to when we departed Markovina, your service to us was exceptional. We really felt relaxed and at ease knowing that all was going according to plan. Catering and hospitality team, the food was exceptional! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the canapés, buffet and desserts spread. They all enjoyed the hospitality and service and that is credit to you all including the amazing chefs and waitresses. Our guest really felt looked after, from the entrance to their exit.

I want to especially thank Rina for her kind hospitality and presence during our arrival — she made us feel so special. Anna and her team were simply amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. The bartender and the chef also deserve special mention — the food and drinks were outstanding! Kat, thank you so much for organising everything so seamlessly. We truly couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our wedding. Please extend our gratitude to the whole team.

It has been a week since our wedding and we are still processing everything that happened! Thank you and the team so much for assisting us from the beginning. Without you guys our wedding wouldn't be as great as it turned out to be! Everyone really enjoyed the venue and the food, but they have no idea how much pressure you guys have taken off our shoulder. We were lucky enough to have Rina herself to greet us on the day and having Anna to coordinate with our helpers. Also we would like to thank Mark for customizing the drink list for us! Last but not least, I would like to thank Delwyn. Please let her know that her level of attention to detail saved me from mental breakdown (coming from a perfectionist bride haha). This memory is going to be in our heart forever. We cannot thank you enough for creating such a wonderful experience to us.

Maya and I wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your team for helping make our Wedding Day so special. Given we only had 10 weeks up our sleeves to plan, you have all been very accommodating and flexible to our needs. The day itself went off without a hitch. we could not have asked for a better day. All our guests were so impressed with the venue and the little additions we made to dress it up. There were lots of comments on how beautiful the grounds were and we had many people comment on how good all the food was - from the canapes to the desserts - we haven't had a bad piece of feedback. All in all, we're so stoked we had our wedding at Markovina, thank you again so much for accommodating our requests and making it an unforgettable day.

We want to say a special thanks to you, Mark, for all your help in our planning meetings and for making sure we had everything covered.

It was also lovely to finally meet Rina who made us feel right at home. Thanks also to Katrina for her help answering our questions and helping in the lead up to the big day. We look forward to our next visit hopefully as guests to another fantastic Markovina wedding. P.S. your Croatian macaroni was exceptional. Our guests are still raving about it, as are we.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Stunning venue where they made our planning much easier. The staff and owners were very accommodating, which my husband and I are grateful of. Also, we would like to have our wedding close to nature with matching of elegance. So Markovina was the perfect venue that meets our preference. They actually met and exceed our expectations. 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 can’t thank enough the owners and staff for being so supportive of our preferences and ideas. Highly recommended venue to all future brides and grooms!

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!

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.

Stunning venue where they made our planning much easier. The staff and owners were very accommodating, which my husband and I are grateful of. Also, we would like to have our wedding close to nature with matching of elegance. So Markovina was the perfect venue that meets our preference. They actually met and exceed our expectations. 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 can’t thank enough the owners and staff for being so supportive of our preferences and ideas. Highly recommended venue to all future brides and grooms!

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 just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say thank you for everything. The day couldn't have been more perfect and every detail was taken care of. Our guests particularly loved the dinner and the photobooth. We were a bit stressed about organising the wedding from Wellington but felt supported and looked after every step of the way. We will remember the day for the rest of our lives :)
