We recently celebrated our wedding at The Garden Bar & Kitchen, and it was an absolute dream come true! From the breathtaking view of the river, to the impeccable service, every moment was magical. Megan and all the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, and our guests are still raving about the delicious food, cocktails and stunning venue. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or memorable setting for our special day. Thank you to the entire team at The Garden Bar & Kitchen for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

We cannot thank Meg, Tom & ALL of the staff at Garden Bar for making our wedding day the absolute BEST day ever. From our very first enquiry, they were incredibly helpful & continued to make the entire process of organising our day a breeze. In the lead up, they continued to be beyond amazing in every possible way - they were always available to help with anything we needed & they were present our entire day to ensure everything ran smoothly so that we could just enjoy every minute. Our guests had endless compliments regarding the venue itself, the beautiful setup in collaboration with our other vendors, the convenience of having our ceremony & reception all in one location, the amazing food & beverages, the wonderful service from staff & just how much fun they had with the incredible vibe of the whole day. People always seem to say that wedding planning is a nightmare - this was not the case for us. We had SOOOO much fun j if we could do it all over again, we would book Garden Bar in an instant! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the venue to anyone planning their wedding & I can’t wait to go there for many more occasions in years ahead.

They made us and our guests feel very welcomed and looked after. The venue is just so beautiful and the food is a very high quality. We have several chef family and friends who all gave them glowing reviews! Our day flowed smoothly thanks to their amazing attention to detail and joyful personalities. Planning our big day was a breeze thanks to Megan. She is so responsive and kind; she made us feel comfortable and our big day feel important. Please!

Had my wedding at The Garden Bar in October and I could not have been happier with my day! Good vibes, good food, good views and good times! Meg the coordinator is the best, helped me all along the way and made sure my wedding was absolutely perfect. Everyone keeps telling me it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding and if you've eaten there before you'd understand why. They really go above and beyond to make sure you and your guests are having the best day ever. Couldn't recommend the Garden Bar enough.
