About

I've been in the wedding industry for over 15 years and ! simply love watching couples make soul commitments to each other. I love fussing over brides and their families doing all I can to make their journey to the day and the day joy filled. It is such a wonderful thing to be part of someone's "I Do!" To watch love in action.

Tailrace had everything I needed in one spot and took so much stress out of planning for me. I had my ceremony on their lawn, using their in house celebrant, their chairs, their arbour, and had one of their indoor rooms as a back up wet weather plan. I also used one of their rooms for reception and all the styling was put together for me and the room looked fantastic! I was able to choose my styling from a menu of options, enough to have variety but not too much to have decision paralysis. I didn't have to do any set up or pack up apart from dropping in my own favours and guestbook. We had a buffet dinner and the staff dealt with everything else. They also helped with music and microphones. It was so stress free and I would totally recommend them! It also made me so happy to know that their profits went towards youth programs and giving back to the community.

I honestly couldn’t fault this venue, from my first contact with them until my last they have been amazing. The staff on the day were brilliant so lovely and accommodating everything ran smoothly and we had the best day ever. We had a buffet and the food was so delicious everyone said how good it was and there was plenty of it no one went hungry. Sharon was our celebrant, she is such a beautiful person we loved every minute we spent with her. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on the day. The staff looked after us so well I highly recommend Tailrace.

Absolutely amazing wedding venue! We came from Melbourne 3 days prior to our Wedding day and the tailrace had everything organised for us in advance. The reception room was set up and looked absolutely beautiful, the ceremony was outdoors in their beautiful lush gardens and the event planners were so helpful. They literally organised everything from start to finish. We didn’t have to think about a thing apart from turning up and having the best day ever. Ceremony, reception, celebrant, food, alcohol, staff, decorations ABSOLUTELY everything is done for you via the venue with so much flexibility. Our day was nothing short of perfect and felt absolutely magical!!! I just want to relive this day over and over. The Tailrace are incredible at making this journey stress free and perfect!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception both at the Tailrace centre and could not be any more happy with that decision. The venue itself is stunning and the team of lovely staff members kept in contact with us throughout the lead up ensuring we were all on the same page. The whole process from start to finish was super easy and the team were phenomenal at easing our minds and reassuring us that everything would come together perfectly. We had the most magical day and could not thank Tailrace Centre enough for all the hours of hard work they put in to give us our perfect day. I would gladly recommend Tailrace centre to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.
