- RRachel H16/08/2024Unforgettable Wedding at Scrub HillUnforgettable Wedding at Scrub HillWe got married at Scrub Hill last Saturday. The venue is stunning and gave Alex and I the feeling that we had to be married here when we first even got out of the car. It was beautiful and unique. With the new marquee as well, our wedding was perfect. With Jente was easy, seemless and very relaxed. Every question we had, all the help we needed, everything just came together seamlessly on our day and we couldn't be more grateful.We got married at Scrub Hill last Saturday.
