"It was an absolutely wonderful experience. We stumbled upon Markovinas on a day out looking for venues. As soon as we walked through the pergola, we were sold. The greeting, and the tour were fantastic, and the advice Rina gave us throughout our planning, and it didn't matter how many times we went up to have a look, or ask questions.

Everybody who attended our wedding were blown away by the venue, food and wine, service of staff, and how fantastically the day ticked along. I couldn't believe how much fun both Julian and I had! Not a worry in the world. It was great to know with everything else going on in planning a wedding, pretty much everything was taken care of by Rina and her crew."

"Thank you so much for a fantastic wedding day!!  We could not have asked for a more perfect day - The venue is amazing .....

All our guests are still raving about what a perfect day it was and it was the nicest wedding they'd ever been to!! ..... The food was amazing and there was so much of it! ..... 

We had a lot of people travel up from out of town so we booked the party bus for transport to and from the venue for guests which was great .....

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day in every way so thank you to Rina and everyone else that helped to make our wedding such a perfect day!!"

"Markovina proved to be a fantastic choice of wedding venue. We loved that we could hold the ceremony and reception at the one location; the grounds are beautiful and Rina and the staff are so helpful and professional, and the food was amazing! We got such fantastic comments from our friends and family. Thanks to the team at Markovina for ensuring our special day was just that!"

"Just a quick message to say thank to you all concerned at Markovina for giving us a truly perfect day, the venue, the food, the staff, the setting were all just faultless."

"We could not have asked for a better day, everyone enjoyed it and feedback from guests was, it was like a fantastic informal gathering with the formal parts added in.

The day was very stress free, and we believe the venue contributed to that, as Rina said to us on the day we turned up to view the venue – all you have to do is get dressed and turn up. Thanks Rina you made our day a very enjoyable experience."

"Markovina is quite simply, the best wedding venue in Auckland, and possibly even New Zealand. The venue offers absolutely everything you could imagine to make your special day just that. Rina and her team could not have done more to ensure everything was perfect. The meal is delicious, the grounds divine and a place like this the dance floor rocks all night long. If you can secure an opening to have your wedding here, jump at the chance, otherwise you will miss out on making your special day that little bit more remarkable."

"My wife and I got married at Markovinas Vineyard Estate in 2009. It was the best day of our lives. The venue and the service was worth while the cost. The food and the atmosphere just left us stress free. The female guest made special mention of the surrounding gardens, fish ponds and plants which made the venue look really special. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, especially Rena."

"I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Markovina Vineyard Estate to any bride or groom-to-be. We felt the venue was excellent, well catered and generally run by helpful & friendly people."

"We had a great day. Everything ran smoothly and even though the weather didn't play its part, it didn't matter because it all went so well and all our guests commented on how great it was. Thank you for your hard work, it was a wonderful venue."

"Our day could not have run any smoother. From the minute we arrived to the time we left our day spent at Markovina's for our wedding was spectacular. [How would you rate your overall experience?] 5++++++"

Thank you … you have set the standards above all others and provide what allot of others don’t – the full package!  It was a pleasure and would definitely recommend.
