Our wedding was the perfect day...
We wanted somewhere with a beautiful outlook and everything in the one place. Leonards Hill Estate was perfect. Our photos have the most beautiful background and views.
We wish we could do it all over again.

"From start to finish we can't thank El and the team enough. From providing any and all information regarding wedding packages to setting up and organisation on the day. We found El to be very well organised, providing plenty of time and following up to see how we were going with making decisions and providing thorough answers to any questions or queries we had. The food, photographer and all the staff on the day were simply magnificent. They couldn't have provided a better experience for our day. From the accommodation to the function space and the spacious new gazebo, nothing was out of place. A spectacular venue for a wedding of any size.

"Our wedding was the perfect day and El and Keith at Leonards Hill Estate were a significant contribution to our success. We wanted somewhere with a beautiful outlook and everything in the one place. Leonards Hill Estate was perfect. Our photos have the most beautiful background and views. El is brilliant to coordinate with and couldn’t do enough for us. The cottage on site is the added bonus which made our night of the wedding so much more comfortable. Parents with young babies could utilise it and be comfortable as well as bride and groom staying there overnight. We wish we could do it all over again.

"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 fulfill 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!"

"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 venue the day before and spend a couple of hours there setting up our DIY items. El also put us in touch with a caterer which was a great help as we are from the other side of Victoria and didn’t have a lot of knowledge of local vendors, the food was amazing and complimented by all of our guests. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice. Thank you El!!"
