Kind Words from our lovely guests

I just wanted to send you one last email to say thank you so much for having us for our wedding back in December. We had the most amazing day, and it all went so well- nothing went wrong! You made it so easy for us (mainly me haha) and I’m so glad we chose to have our wedding at Black Walnut.

I am still getting compliments now from family and friends about how gorgeous the venue was and how it was the best wedding venue they’ve ever been to!

So thank you both so much, and please pass on our thanks to Matt as well- he was wonderful!

All the best for the rest of the wedding season and upcoming harvest,

Tayla and Bradley

We loved the venue so much that we chose a date immediately. The ease of ceremony to reception, the beautiful glasshouse as a wet weather option and the owners – Dan and Mandy who have thought of everything – were all drawcards. The venue itself leant itself to a romantic, modern and sophisticated vibe and minimal styling was required.

Ashleigh & Peter

Black Walnut Venue was a dream location for our wedding, from the wedding preparation through to the ceremony and reception. The whole experience was beyond what we could ever imagine. Our guests raved about the stunning location and William and I loved the team, we felt completely at home in their company. Most importantly, because of the outstanding coordination, we both felt completely relaxed on the day and didn’t have to worry about a thing. 

Kelsi

Dan and Mandy are beautiful souls - super passionate about what they do and made it so easy for us leading up to and on the day of our Wedding. Loved working with them and the feedback was amazing from our guests. 5 stars out 5!

Christopher

Amazing venue, people and staff! So easy to work with, they did anything to make sure our day ran super smoothly. Such fun people and super kind! We loved our day here!

Kirsty

This place is perfection! We could not be happier with choosing BW, it was the first venue we visited and immediately fell in love. BW is set on beautiful grounds giving you plenty of options for ceremony spots & photo opportunities and we definitely got to make the most of it! Dan and Mandie were great to deal with, very friendly and helpful; both in the lead-up to our big day and the big day itself.
