REAL CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
“We had our wedding at The Farm three weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! The best day of our lives! Elysia and all the staff at The Farm are incredible at what they do and ensure everything runs seamlessly. From our initial tour to the night of our wedding, every little detail was thought about and planned perfectly.
The food was delicious and there was so much of it! We had The Farm also make our cake and it was superb. If you are after an indoor/outdoor option, The Farm has it all. Our night was a little chilly but they had the heaters going on the deck and out on the lawn, as well as the fire going. It created such a lovely atmosphere!
The staff were so good at looking after our guests, making sure they all had plenty of food and drink and the people with dietary requirements were catered for so well. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outside in front of the barn but the inside of the barn is just as beautiful now that they have done it all up!
Truly the most spectacular wedding venue, we could not it fault it at all. Just wish we could do it all over again! Check out The Farm if you are planning a wedding, they are the best!!!” – Caitlin

“We had our wedding at Immerse in late Jan and they exceeded all our expectations! We were initially hesitant to inspect Immerse as we were worried we wouldn’t get the same level of personalisation at a busy venue. However, this could not be further from the truth! The venue speaks for itself and needs very little in the way of decorations to make it stunning.” – Stephanie
