Description

Fondata 1872, known for its country charm and stunning landscapes, offered a flawless wedding experience. The grounds were immaculately maintained, providing a beautiful and serene setting for the ceremony and reception. The staff truly stood out with their genuine warmth and attentive hospitality, making sure every detail of the day was just right. Their passion for delivering exceptional service was evident, leaving us and our guests feeling incredibly well cared for. Of course, the food and wine were highlights of the day. Fondata's menu, filled with delicious, authentic Italian dishes, was a hit among our guests and remains a talking point even long after the celebration.

Fondata: Stunning Venue, Exceptional Service
My partner and I recently had our wedding at Fondata, and it was exceptional. The scenery and venue were gorgeous, and the food was to a high standard, but the major highlight was the staff. Super friendly, accommodating and welcoming, with a special shout out to the events coordinator Sam R. Couldn't be happier with how the night went for us. Big props to Fondata and the team.

Perfect Wedding Day at Fondata 🌟
We held our wedding here on Friday 14th April 2023 with around 90 guests attending. The day could not have been more perfect.... even the weather was spot on. Rebecca Clark (Event Manager) was superb. Fondata were able to offer a customised menu, customised event schedule and the food and service was outstanding. We had so many compliments from our guests on the delicious & plentiful food and the presentation of wedding venue.

Outstanding service, stunning venue
Rebecca and the Team at Fondata were simply outstanding. Our wedding could not have been more beautiful. The staff at Fondata were friendly and helpful. They were upfront and honest from the beginning of the process, always flexible and adaptive to changing circumstances. Obviously, it is a truly stunning venue with equally amazing food, but the service is just as wonderful. We received countless compliments.

Fondata 1872: Perfect Venue for Celebrations!
We had the best experience at Fondata 1872 celebrating our 60th birthday with the rest of the family! Firstly, the initial contact and organisation was friendly and professional - well done Bridgette and Sam, you guys are the best! Our family has many different dietary requirements (including Vegan, GF and FODMAP) and nothing was too much trouble. Secondly, the atmosphere and set up of the tables was perfect. Great place for any type of celebration (particularly weddings!).

Magical Wedding at Fondata 1872
We love dining at Fondata 1872 all the time and were lucky enough to have our wedding there in November. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and we wouldn't have changed anything at all. We had the ceremony on the lawn with native flowers, beautiful panoramic views of rolling hills and even curious Kangaroos in the background. The reception then easily moved into the restaurant and bar area which has warm, rustic but also elegant vibes.
