Sellah and Nicholas’ Love Story

Spring Wedding Spring weddings are notorious for their sudden downpours and overall unpredictability, but for Sellah and Nicholas, the weather couldn’t have been brighter. Warm sunshine illuminated the Flaxton Gardens Restaurant Gardens and a smooth breeze drifted around the white drapes on the Gazebo. The timing was perfect – the loving couple were married surrounded by blossoming flowers […]

Jacqui and Adam’s Elopement at Flaxton Gardens

A Flaxton Gardens Luxury Elopement When you think of elopement, you probably think of young couples sneaking off to tie the knot in a courthouse, back when arranged marriages and pressure from families were commonplace. These days, elopement is less about escaping marital expectations and more about holding a simple, intimate wedding with close friends and family, rather than a larger, more […]

Sarina and Tim’s Love Story

This can be attested by Sarina and Timothy, newlyweds who had the joy of experiencing such a wedding at Flaxton Gardens.

Facebook Reviews

On 20th August my now husband and I got married at Flaxton Gardens and with the help of Mariana and her team it was honestly perfect and the best day of our lives. When we initially started to look at wedding venues in May 2017, we had first seen a private property as a venue which we had fallen in love with before arriving at Flaxton Gardens. When arriving at Flaxton Gardens we fell in love just as much but originally had actually decided based on cost, we were going to book the other venue.As the Flaxton Gardens representative had already been in touch with a quote and information of the service we had requested, we sent them a respectful email declining a booking there. Beyond this time we had returned to Melbourne and excitedly showed our family the original venue at which point logistical issues became apparent. Soon after we received a response from the representative at Flaxton Gardens thanking us for the email and asking for feedback. Now having doubts on the alternate venue we explained our concerns, one being cost and 2 other minor issues to do with beverage package and shape of tables. The representative very quickly came back to us suggesting solutions for the beverage package, letting us know they have long tables which were to our liking and asked us to add up all the preliminary costs of the private venue and compare that of Flaxton Gardens. In the end they worked out far better value for money, with the added bonus of the coastal view we have always dreamed of having for a back drop at our wedding, convenience of location to lots of accommodation for our interstate guests and a comfortable venue for guests to get around and spend ample time at. I wanted to highlight this to demonstrate the professionalism, expertise and genuine care the staff at Flaxton Gardens demonstrated from our initial interactions with them. They could have easily said thank you and good luck (as other venues did, some no response at all) but by going the extra mile we were ultimately thrilled to book our wedding at Flaxton Gardens. We had the pleasure of getting to know Mariana over the 15 months in the lead up to the wedding. Having worked in the wedding industry back home something I loved straight away about Mariana and her husband Alan who was the owner and head Chef of the venue, was they had in fact gotten married at the venue themselves not so long before we met them. We found this out as we had similar guest numbers to their wedding and Mariana brought out and made suggestions from her own seating plan. This means they don't offer a service to clients that they wouldn't use themselves, they put 100% into the food and service they are offering- it is their passion. Kind of like the saying- treat others how you would like to be treated- they demonstrate this in everything they do. We anticipated needing to hire a wedding planner to source and liaise with wedding vendors as we live in Melbourne. But Flaxton Gardens had that covered as well, they on their website provided a recommended list of suppliers they have worked consistently with which fit in with all price ranges. This was a page we could trust as Mariana only allows a vendor to be recommended after they have successfully completed 3 weddings at the venue and based on Brides' and Grooms' feedback. So we easily narrowed down the vendors we wanted to work with without the need of a planner. On top of this, the detail that goes into the run sheet Mariana creates gives you a template to work off ensuring you remember to cover every detail of your day- from dietary requirements, cake, a songlist you want played before the wedding etc.Mariana was not just a great guide for wedding planning but an incredible support. The number of times we have had to move appointments dates or times due to delayed flights or having to email her with questions or clarifications. There was nothing too hard for Mariana to handle. Honestly until the day our wedding came and Mariana asked to ensure our breakfast ended at 11am so they could set up for the next wedding, the service was so personalised we had forgotten that they do in fact have other weddings there and would have been dealing with other clients the whole time. Each meeting with Mariana was lovely and like catching up with an old friend. Something we also loved is they included a tasting in the booking to ensure we loved the food that was going to be served at our wedding. We are foodies and this was important to us so to have that opportunity was fantastic. We have not had a single person complain about the food they received on the night and for those who had queries they accommodated on the spot. The staff at Flaxton Gardens were friendly, professional and enthused to be working on our wedding. After a number of visits we got to know some familiar faces amongst the wait staff. You can tell they are treated well and enjoy their jobs and were just as invested in the wedding. Some remembering our faces the next day at breakfast even though we weren't in our wedding attire and telling us how lovely they thought our wedding was. Staff treated well are going to treat you well and that showed. Cannot say it enough- our day was perfect and that started and finished with the team at Flaxton Gardens. They have everything covered. They are willing to work with you on what you want that's unique to you and very open, fair and professional in how they conduct themselves. Thank you so much again to Mariana, Alan and all the staff at Flaxton Gardens for helping make our special day so memorable.

Got married here last year and I was so worried about every coming together properly on the day. The staff at Flaxton Gardens told me to sit back and enjoy the day which I did and they took care of absolutely everything! Everything was executed to 100% perfection and we felt like royalty on the day. Friendly staff and great service all at an affordable price. Can't recommend this place enough :)

I had the pleasure of being the MC at wedding in the restaurant at Flaxton Gardens and I must say what a wonderful space it is and the gazebo where the ceremony was held looked stunning. The wedding was for about 60 people it is quite intimate with the large verandas plenty of room to spread out. The dance area in front of the bar was a perfect size. The staff's attention to every detail made the wedding run seamlessly, and the food was amazing. A great evening in a great space.

My husband and I recently had the PERFECT wedding day. A huge thank you to Alan, Mariana and the staff at Flaxton gardens for helping us to achieve this magical day. The staff made the process so easy as they take all the stress away by setting up your reception and ceremony, Mariana was in constant contact always being helpful and patient to a stressed out bride! The food was amazing and all of our friends and family were extremely happy with this hidden little gem where we got married. Highly recommend this amazing venue to other brides to be. Thank you again

I was @ Flaxton Gardens for a wedding just very recently & everthing was good The scenery is spectacular, the food delicious & service good BUT I have to say it seems there’s a glitch in the system after reading a few of the bad reviews & Flaxton Gardens is taking the approach that the customer is not always right! Perhaps a case of so many good reviews that there’s no need to worry about the bad reviews??? Not good enough Flaxton Gardens👎🏻

My now husband and I were married at Flaxton Gardens on April 20th 2018. I have nothing but praise for Flaxton Gardens and their staff, from the very first time we saw Flaxton Gardens, they helped create our gorgeous day! They certainly bend over backwards to help any bride and groom create a day that THEY DREAM OF! The food was outstanding! The staff are professional and friendly ❤️ We will definitely be back over and over again!!

From the moment we saw Flaxton Gardens we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. From the amazing location & incredible views. The delicious food & fantastic reception area (the winery). They provide a wet weather option- which actually worked out better for us. The wedding team were amazing & on top of everything. No task was too difficult & everyone was so friendly & helpful. Alan & Marianna are the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. Our wedding day was a dream ��

When looking for a reception venue, we were unsure if we would be able to find one that would be able to fit to our budget but would also offer a great service and experience. I was chatting to a friend of mine and they suggested that we head over to Flaxton Gardens. When we arrived we instantly fell in love and knew straight away that this is where we should go. We met the wedding team that day and they were incredibly accommodating and suggested we do a weekday wedding option and I’m so glad we did! It meant we were able to have our dream wedding, which we may not have been able to afford otherwise and we definitely were blown away. Staff were so lovely and approachable, food was delicious and kept on coming, views were gorgeous and we had the most magical time. Thank you Flaxton Gardens, we had a perfect day that was both relaxed and fun.

What a lovely place! Incredible views plus really great staff & service. Had a friend’s baby shower there over the weekend & was well aware they were setting up for a wedding later that day. In spite of this we were so well looked-after: multiple phone calls in the lead-up to change numbers & dietary requirements were handled professionally & in a friendly manner. On the day we had 2 dedicated staff so we knew who was solely attending to our function, nothing was too much for them & everyone had a great day. The team went the extra mile & couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough 👌🏽 Lovely food & a big thank you to Isla who looked after us on the day.

Thank you Flaxton Gardens! As I made a reservation here on Saturday I mentioned I was planing to propose at the restaurant & if they could help me out with the romantic setting. All I can say is the staff were amazing!! The setting was perfect. It was the most romantic night, my now bride to be said it was "magical" and I have to agree. It was the work from the staff that did it. Genuinely nice people. Then, the food was fantastic. We couldn't fault anything if we wanted to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you again to flaxton gardens for hosting such a beautiful high tea baby shower for my daughter on Saturday 19/8/2017. The staff, the service and the food was outstanding.

I can't believe how amazing Flaxton Gardens were for our wedding. Our day was so magical and stress free thanks to this venue and their dedicated team. The setting was beautiful, the rooms amazing, the team were all so friendly and kind, the food was delicious, they set it up and decorated it all and this was all included in the price. We looked at other wedding venues prior to booking Flaxton Gardens and we just felt like we were a burden to the other venues that we attended. It was off putting. Right from the get go Flaxton we're excited about our engagement, they were professional, reassuring and have so many great ideas. I can go on and on about how great they are but I think you should go and check them out yourself, you won't regret booking with them ❤️️😍
