Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

“Leonards Hill Estate was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! From the very beginning the venue manager, El was very welcoming and warm. Throughout the lead-up to our big day, El was very prompt with her responses and nothing was too hard. On the day our wedding ran so smoothly, and the Leonards Hill staff were always checking in to see if we needed anything. We cannot speak more highly of Leonards Hill. If you are looking for a smooth and stress-free venue, then this is definitely the venue for you. Absolutely stunning!”— Elise & Rhys, August 2024

“We recently got married out at Leonards Hill Estate and it could not have been more perfect. From the first enquiry right up until the last dance, El and her team out at the estate were absolutely phenomenal. El really puts her absolute heart and soul into her work and it truly shows. They have a range of packages to choose from and she was happy to tweak them to suit our budget but still fulfil our visions of the day. One of the highlights of the estate was that we could have everyone we loved there to share our day with us—even our dog!”— Jacinta & Andrew, October 2024

“We had the most perfect wedding day at Leonards Hill Estate with the help of El and her husband Keith. We booked the venue 15 months out and El was extremely responsive and so helpful the entire time, whenever I had a question no matter how big or small, El was ready with an answer almost straight away. They were extremely flexible in working with us to make sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted and even let us come down to the venue the day before and spend a couple of hours there setting up our DIY items. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice.”— Emily & Kyle, March 2025
