I had the absolute honor of holding my wedding at Markovina Vineyard Estate, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment I first walked in, I felt welcomed by Mark, who instantly instilled confidence that this venue would turn my vision into reality. The estate itself is breathtaking – it’s everything we could have hoped for and more. Katrina was an absolute joy to work with. She was meticulous about every detail, ensuring everything was well-organized and running smoothly. Rachel was also incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything in the lead-up to the day. But on the day itself, Máxine was the real MVP. She was the glue that held everything together, making sure every need was met with a smile, and her service was impeccable. Three months later, my family and friends are still talking about how amazing the food was and how perfect the venue looked. They also can’t stop praising how wonderful the staff were – their warmth and attentiveness made all the difference. I also had the pleasure of meeting Rina on the day, who made me feel like royalty, giving me the best VIP experience and showering me with kindness. Her hugs truly made me feel like I was at home. Markovina will always have a special place in my heart, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, with a dedicated and caring team, look no further than Markovina – it’s truly a magical place for your wedding day.

Our wedding day at Markovina Vineyard Estate was truly the most magical day of our lives. From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely in awe of the breathtaking venue—it was everything we had ever dreamed of and more. The team at Markovina, including Mark, Rina, Alex, Katrina and the rest of the incredible crew, made us feel so incredibly special from start to finish. Their kindness, care, and passion for what they do are unmatched. A special thank you to Alex, who always made sure we had a drink in hand and a smile on our face and to Rina, who provided the most comforting presence before I nervously walked down the aisle—and was right there after with a champagne toast to celebrate our first moments as husband and wife. Looking back, I tear up just thinking about how perfect and amazing our day was. We truly wish we could relive it just to experience their incredible hospitality all over again! ✨

As a photographer, Markovina is one of our absolute favourite venues that we are lucky enough to work at regularly. Everything from the team, food and grounds are phenomenal. Mark, Kat, Max, Will, Alex and Anna are incredible hosts, always ensuring everything runs smoothly. We love how Rina is there to greet brides on arrival and that couples and their guests are treated like VIP guests. There is no shortage of places to take photos, the venue offers a variety of stunning spaces that are perfect for capturing every moment of a wedding day. The recent addition of renovations have elevated the outdoor space with a gorgeous tiled bar area and a fire pit providing a modern ambiance.

If you are looking to do a wedding this place should be in your list of consideration. I would love to come here again as a guest. We initially had a small guest size so thought markovina wouldn’t take us but they are open to options. They have so many vases and table decoration options which would usually be an extra cost (if hired) and a lot of effort to bring everything in yourself. They ask you for table settings (which you can go and do well before your wedding) and follow up with you on what needs to be done. It felt almost like a wedding planner is helping you. We really appreciated that they let us do a rehearsal weeks before the wedding. On the day of the wedding the weather was perfect. The sunlight shown on us and the light breeze was perfect. We decided to do our ceremony next to the water fall. The trees gave cover from direct sunlight for our guest. The sound system at this venue is something else. The best I have seen. You hear the music going down the aisle and I thought I was in another world. The canapes: I highly recommend the scallops and pork belly but everything was generally very good. The staff are so professional. They make sure the bride and groom are fed and get drinks in between. You don’t feel like you are missing out at your own wedding. One of the large flower arrangements broke because of the wind and the staff were so quick to fix it we were absolutely amazed! We chose to go with the entre (salmon) and mains (beef and fish) The salmon entre was amazing And the fish main was amazing!!! They have an ice cream machine! At the end of the dance time there are bubbles and smoke!😆👍💯

I am over the moon with our wedding that was held at Markovina. The lead up to the wedding was very easy & stress free. The communication was on point & the team was always there to answer our queries. They have a lot of table decor you can use if you want to save on buying your own decor for the tables. They also provided the find your table sign & the unplugged ceremong sign. It's very handy & it saved us from having to do our own. The reception area is already decorated with drapes, fairy lights & and foliage, so we were happy with just adding flowers to our head table. The wedding day itself was spectacular. We were well looked after, including our guests. Our guests were all complementing how they loved everything about the place. They were able to take photos in different areas as the estate has a lot of photo worthy spots. They loved the food & were highly complimenting the service. Even weeks after the wedding we are still getting compliments about how well our wedding went. The food was to die for. Seriously, from the canapes to the dessert, everything was 5 star. I've been to a few weddings that have buffet dinner, but your buffet outshines them all. It was like fine dining but with bigger portions. We all loved the food. Special thanks to Katrina & Maxine for making everything stress free. Maxine, you were amazing on the wedding day. Wherever i turned, you had a drink or food on hand ready for us. You are a great host. Even throughout the night, you were there topping up our bubbly & making sure we were ok. Also, special shout out to Rina for being there for our arrival & handing us champagne. It was great to have you be part of our wedding & seeing how passionate you are about celebrating love. For the amount we spent to hold our wedding here, it was worth it. The service from your staff was outstanding. Everything ran so smoothly. We didn't need to worry about anything. The service is what stood out the most, so I thank you for hosting such a great wedding for us. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I would 100% recommend Markovina. They are professional & they will exceed your expectations. I am sad that my wedding is over but I hope to be back for a family or friends wedding. Thanks again, team.
