We recently got married here on a Thursday. Tracy and her team did a fantastic job. Definitely took a lot of the stress out of the wedding for us.
Tracy assisted with great ideas and planning through to setting up the big day.
Tracy has a fantastic personality and felt like an old friend, even though we had never met before. Very professional and friendly, also made guests feel comfortable and welcome.
The staff were also great looking after our 2 year old son, and still managing to cater for our guests.
Would recommend to anyone.
Great wine and platters.
Nice place for a venue, quaint and well laid out to accommodate around 100 guests.
Recently attended a wedding here and as I am getting married too next year thought it would be great to see what they have to offer. All I have come away with is what NOT to do and what I don't want. The wedding was stunning, largely due to the Bride and Groom being the focus and the outdoor area was charming. However when arriving there is a sterile reception area, which later somehow becomes the bar. It was snowing and bitterly cold out so would be a great opportunity to light the log burner and create a wonderful atmosphere, but didn't happen. After the ceremony and heading back inside, drinks were difficult to gain, and limited to a few wines, watered down spirits and mixers were seriously watered down too and not served in front of you, but charged at standard hotel rates. Bad ethics. The meal was disgusting where these couples are paying $60+ per head, it was very small amount, a sliver of chicken and, under cooked beef, no where near enough for responsible host conscious people where alcohol is served and to top it all off there were slices made by guests scattered around and the guests were unaware they were welcome to help themselves, as there was no service. Over all I was disgusted as were all I spoke too and have spoken too since.
One other thing we thought was a possibly further improvement, this places access is unlit and difficult to make your way back to your vehicle, over a shabby car park and also no service to get people home and this would certainly be of benefit.
Would never recommend this place as a venue or to even somewhere to go for an event of any kind.
I am often at Melton Estate for weddings and I am happy to highly recommend this venue as the perfect wedding location :)
Unfortunately I have to say my experience at Melton Estate was a very disappointing one.
I flew over from Melbourne to celebrate my 60th birthday with friends and family, looking forward to a special day.
The food was tasty but some of us found the portions were very small and the food slow in coming out, some had already eaten by the time others were getting their meals, (there were only 2 others in the restaurant beside my party of 14) My plate was served to me with vegetables missing, when I queried it I was told they had run out, would make up some more and bring them out to me, they never appeared, when I mentioned it to the manageress I was gobsmacked by her attitude and lack of concern.
The strangest thing for us all would have to have been that my sister had gone out of her way to have a lovely big cake made for me, they would not under any circumstances let us bring that inside the restaurant, (we ended up having some of it out of the boot of the car in their car park)
They allowed fourteen dissatisfied customers to leave that day without a word or care.
I have always been under the impression when working in the hospitality trade, a good atmosphere and customer satisfaction is your number one priority and also your best advertisement.
Not one of us would go back or recommend Melton Estate to friends.
had an awesome experience celebrating my elderly father's birthday. Attentive waitresses, great kids menu as well as plenty of room for them to run around or play on the swings. thoroughly recommend.
