Highlights of working with Fondata 1872:
"Fondata 1872, a rustic Italian Restaurant, held the most memorable day of our lives. On our big day Fondata 1872, a country wedding venue, was faultless in everyway. From the grounds looking perfectly maintained, to the staff having a genuine love to attentive hospitality. The delicious food and wine (still a talking point amongst friends). Our Wedding Day at Fondata was more than we ever dreamt it could be, it was unflawed! We are looking forward to spending many anniversaries here to celebrate and remember our perfect day!" - Allira
"Dear Rebecca & team at Fondata, Thank you for your help in making our wedding day perfect. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Ainsley and Jason Brizz
