The venue is absolutely stunning surrounded by lush greenery & colourful flower garden, while having the Werribee Mansion as the backdrop. I would highly recommend The Refectory by Bursaria to any future couples who are after a stunning garden ceremony venue with indoor reception that caters for a smaller guest capacity, as it was perfect for our 85 guest wedding. The team are very flexible, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process.

Werribee Park is such a beautiful location but Bursaria makes it outstanding. The food and service was amazing and we felt like royalty the entire day. Guests cannot stop talking about the food- saying it was the best they had ever had at a wedding. The venue is so beautiful itself. The enclaves in the room were perfect for our photo booth, bomboniere table and gift table and the space looked full without looking cramped and also perfectly laid out for everyone to move easily and comfortably around. Venue coordinator Hollie was an absolute stand out who made our day run smoothly and was so helpful and understanding throughout the entire process- she was such a blessing!! We are so glad we chose this venue!

Fantastic group of people to deal with, the food was incredible and the vibe was everything we imagined plus more. I never thought I would say this but the only bad thing was the dance floor wasn't big enough! It's a great space if you have around 140 guests and under. The venue itself is to die for and the staff were great. Big shout out to Bianca Weston and Vanessa Surace who went above and beyond for me.

Thank you for your amazing review Shauna! It was such a pleasure to be apart of yours and Daniel's special day and we loved seeing how much all of your guests were enjoying themselves on the night! Congratulations again from the team at Bursaria!

Stacey and the team at the Refectory by Bursaria were amazing. She met with us several times in the lead up to our big day, was always on hand to answer our questions via phone or email. She had plenty of suggestions as to things we could tweak to make our day more personal, and was quick to implement these. On the day she was efficient and on hand to organise all our suppliers and guests, ensuring everything was set up as discussed. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. The venue itself was stunning, flexible in table options. The food was plentiful and delicious. We have received nothing but compliments from our guests. Sara was also close by on our special day to ensure everything ran smoothly, and was so kind and patient with our little flower girl that we knew we didn’t have to worry. I would not change a thing if I was to do it all again.

We had a fantastic experience with this venue. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding due to COVID but they were very accomodating. The Refectory is absolutely stunning and the staff were very professional and well organised. Everything went very smoothly and our guests raved about the food.
