Thank you for everythingThank you for everything
Thankyou so much for everything we both had a fantastic day and yourself and the staff were brilliant. All of our guests were very impressed with the venue, service, food and atmosphere of Essendon. Jon and the evening team were brilliant also and the entire day ran so smoothly it was such a joy to experience. Again we cannot thankyou enough for how smoothly this entire process has been from our initial email and visit at Essendon to our perfect wedding day last week.Thankyou so much for everything we both had a fantastic day and yourself and the staff were brilliant.

Everyone has been amazing throughoutEveryone has been amazing throughout
We just wanted to take this time to say a massive thank you to you and the team. Everyone has been amazing throughout the whole experience, through letting Steve's mum join us for the wine tasting at short notice to ensuring everything went smoothly on the actual day. I cannot thank you enough for helping to calm me down when I wasn't very well, bringing the fan over to me and making sure I was feeling OK. I must have had a virus as I continued not feeling well for a few days, but it didn't stop me and your team did such an amazing job making sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed the rest of my day. I was gutted that I didn't get to eat my Lemon Posset I was absolutely delighted the next day when I came to pick up our things that you had saved me one of the puddings! Such a thoughtful thing to do! We also enjoyed eating our munchies when we got back to the hotel! The barn looked fabulous, everyone commented on the super staff and my family kept saying how lovely you were. Jon was also excellent and made sure everything ran smoothly in the evening! Once again, thank you for helping us to have the best day of our lives! We wish we could do it all over again! We look forward to visiting again soon!

Where do I begin!?Where do I begin!?
I cannot put into words how incredibly thankful we are to you and your team at Essendon for helping to make our day so perfect last Friday. You were all simply amazing! Thank you for all of your efforts to ensure the day ran smoothly, so many of our guests have taken time to comment on how beautiful Essendon is and also on how well the wedding was ran (all thanks to you!) We literally had the best day and both get rather emotional every time we talk about it. So much of that was down to you, so thank you! From the minute we arrived, you were there and we could not have asked for more. We really appreciated all of the personal touches, the reassurance at each stage and the fact that you were so flexible in ensuring the tributes were just right. We feel lucky to have found Essendon as our very special venue - the most amazing wedding planner we could have asked for!I cannot put into words how incredibly thankful we are to you and your team at Essendon for helping to make our day so perfect last Friday.

The barn looked amazing...The barn looked amazing...
Hi Jo, Thank you so much for all that you done on our wedding day. Everyone always says ‘something will always go wrong on your wedding day’ but nothing did, it all went so smoothly, no problems at all and we know your hard work and organisation allowed everything to run so smoothly and effortlessly! Several people have commented on how well you kept the day running, how great the staff at Essendon were and how delicious the food was. The barn looked amazing and everything was just where and how we imagined it to be. We're so sad it is all over now! I cannot believe how quickly the day went and we are so excited to get the pictures and video to relive it all again and of course we will pop in at some point with the pictures to show you. Thank you once again for all your help, our day wouldn’t have been as good as it was if it wasn’t for you and the rest of your team. Hi Jo, Thank you so much for all that you done on our wedding day.

Well what can we say.... Well what can we say....
Well what can we say.... firstly we literally can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us on the lead up to our BIG DAY but also how amazing you made our magical day! From all the pre-wedding meetings, heartfelt emails and personal touches on the day (that includes you sitting with a hair-dryer for half and hour drying my wet dress 😊) you made the whole journey seem seamless! We had so much fun planning the wedding with you, and wouldn’t have had it any other way. We feel like we have truly gained a friend in you! Thank you for your lovely comments, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, from the moment we arrived, to dinner and then to the evening partying the night away surrounded by everyone we love! You, Chelsey and the team did such a fantastic job!!
