Regine & Jeff - June 2025

A Heartfelt Thank You for an Unforgettable Wedding Day.

We just wanted to extend our deepest thanks to you and the entire team for the remarkable service you provided during our wedding. It was truly unforgettable! Everyone absolutely loved the food, the service, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
I want to especially thank Rina for her kind hospitality and presence during our arrival — she made us feel so special.

Anna and her team were simply amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. The bartender and the chef also deserve special mention — the food and drinks were outstanding! Kat, thank you so much for organising everything so seamlessly.

We truly couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our wedding. Please extend our gratitude to the whole team.
We've received nothing but glowing feedback from our guests — one even mentioned they’d love to celebrate their 25th anniversary at Markovina!

Sarah & Matt - June 2025

We had an amazing time celebrating our wedding at Markovina, and we've received so many compliments from our guests about the delicious food and exceptional service. A huge thank you to you, Anna, Rina, and Mark — we feel that choosing Markovina was the perfect decision.

Kristy & Francis  - May 2025

It has been a week since our wedding and we are still processing everything that happened!
Thank you and the team so much for assisting us from the beginning. Without you guys our wedding wouldn't be as great as it turned out to be! Everyone really enjoyed the venue and the food, but they have no idea how much pressure you guys have taken off our shoulders.

We were lucky enough to have Rina herself to greet us on the day and having you and Anna to coordinate with our helpers. Also we would like to thank Mark for customizing the drink list for us! Last but not least, I would like to thank Delwyn.
Please let her know that her level of attention to detail saved me from mental breakdown (coming from a perfectionist bride haha). The boys also had a lot of fun at the end of the night talking to the bartender and apparently he did some tricks to entertain my husband and the guests. This was so unexpected and they all enjoyed it.

This memory is going to be in our heart forever. We can't thank you enough for creating such a wonderful experience to us.

Kiran and Maya - April 2025

Maya and I wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your team for helping make our Wedding Day so special.
Given we only had 10 weeks up our sleeves to plan, you have all been very accommodating and flexible to our needs.

The day itself went off without a hitch. we could not have asked for a better day.
All our guests were so impressed with the venue and the little additions we made to dress it up.
There were lots of comments on how beautiful the grounds were and we had many people comment on how good all the food was - from the canapes to the desserts - we haven't had a bad piece of feedback.

All in all, we're so stoked we had our wedding at Markovina,
thank you again so much for accommodating our requests and making it an unforgettable day.

Shaneez & Dhakshayani  - February 2025

Shaneez and I wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for making our wedding day so incredibly special. From the moment we visited your venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate such an important day, and the event exceeded all of our expectations.

Your attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made everything run smoothly, and we are so grateful for the care and effort you put into making our day unforgettable. The venue itself was stunning, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful everything looked. The rain gave us a bit of fright but your team handled it all so beautifully and quickly and everything went smoothly after that!

Thank you again for your outstanding service and for helping us create lasting memories.
We will always look back on our wedding day with immense joy, thanks to you and your team.
Please thank everyone that was there on day from our end.

India & Zoran - February 2025

We wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to you all for making our wedding day so memorable.
We want to say a special thanks to you, Mark, for all your help in our planning meetings and for making sure we had everything covered. We also want to say a special thanks to your son, Alex, for going above and beyond for us on the day.

He is a remarkable young man. It was also lovely to finally meet Rina who made us feel right at home.
Thanks also to Katrina for her help answering our questions and helping in the lead up to the big day.
We look forward to our next visit hopefully as guests to another fantastic Markovina wedding.

P.S. your Croatian macaroni was exceptional. Our guests are still raving about it, as are we. Thank you again for everything.

Catherine & Liam - January 2025

We wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your team for all your help pulling together our wedding in Jan.
We had countless compliments from guests on the venue, food and staff - the day couldn't have gone smoother. A big shout out to Maxine in particular who was brilliant on the day - can't speak highly enough of her and her attention to detail.
Delwyn, who helped set up the tables that morning was also fantastic - please pass on our thanks to them both.

Andrique & Tachiana - January 2025

We just want to extend our gratitude for the absolutely amazing day we had yesterday, it couldn’t have been more perfect and was literally our dream wedding. Thank you so much for everything you both have done to make this day a possibility, without your help and guidance around everything we couldn’t have made it.

We also want to extend our gratitude to the team who worked on the night, they were extremely kind, professional and just displayed the best service to us and all our guests. We want to say a big thank you to Max as well, she was amazing and ensured everything went smoothly. We received numerous compliments about the amazing venue and never ending comments about the amazing food and deserts. We couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful, thank you again, please pass our thanks on to the wider team as well and Rachel as well please.

We hope to be attending the venue again in the future as guests and will most definitely be attending future fathers and mothers day lunches.

Gemma & Matthew - January 2025

We wanted to say thank you so much for the most incredible wedding day. We were absolutely blown away on the day by all the staff, and of course the beautiful venue. All our guests have told us they were amazed by the staff's efficiency, kindness and organisation. A special thank you to Will who went out of his way to help all our guests with dietaries - my aunt with severe allergies said she felt really safe and so well looked after, so thank you.

The food was absolutely incredible and our lovely bartender had the best energy!! It has been such a treat planning a wedding with your team, you made it so easy and effortless (thank you to Kat for replying to my many emails!). We sincerely hope someone we know gets married at Markovina so we can come back!
