What Our Clients Say
we got married at MaryBrooke almost a year ago and we still talk about and have guest talk about how amazing everything was! we couldn’t recommend enough!
Stayed at Marybrooke Manor for my partner’s brothers wedding. The venue was stunning, the outdoor area was beautiful and great for wedding photos. The rooms could use some upkeep, and the service staff during the reception could use more training in handling busy situations with wedding clients.
Had an amazing experience. Everything from planning the wedding to on the day. Everything ran very smoothly. Every time we asked a question we got an answer pretty quickly.
Marybrooke Manor is a stunning venue set in an ideal location. Owners Deborah and Andrew are truly passionate about the wedding industry and deeply care for the couples who choose to celebrate their special day there. We had an incredible experience at the venue and are extremely thankful for Deborah and Andrew’s support throughout.
We had our Wedding in May and it was such a wonderful location and event space. Andrew and Debbie were fantastic, especially as we were planning our Wedding from interstate. Our guests gave us such glowing reviews about their time at Marybrooke Manor, as most of us stayed the night. We were so happy to have had our special day at the Manor and still look back on our photos with fond memories.
Got married last May 2025, stunning wedding venue! 😍🥰 Andrew and Deborah and all the staff were very professional and easy to work with. Food were delicious and big servings! No one got hungry that night!!! It was a blast! Thank you so much Andrew and Deborah and the whole Marybrooke Manor team!
Wonderful place for a destination wedding with accommodation available for guests. Can't wait to go back for high tea
Deborah, Andrew and the team did an absolutely fantastic job of ensuring not only did the day run smoothly but also made lots of suggestions both in the lead up and on the day to make our day incredible despite rain. The gardens were so beautiful both in Sun and rain.
