Perfect Venue for Weddings!
Outstanding easiest way to put it. As a wedding photographer I get to travel to many locations and this place is a true highlight. We felt so welcome from the beginning from the owners and had an amazing experience shooting the wedding. Beautiful property and amazing staff and owners. Highly recommend any bride and groom to look into it.

Dream Wedding at Quirky Venue!
Such an amazing venue! We have the best wedding weekend here. We loved everything about it. Particularly that they had a guesthouse on site which could house a large number of people. Donna and Matt did such an incredible job of getting everything ready and preparing a backup wet weather option since we had torrential rain the entire weekend. Everything in the lead up was simple and Donna was so good at getting back to all my question.

Sylvan Glen: A Perfect Wedding Venue
Last night we were privileged to attend a friends wedding at Sylvan Glen Country Estate. From the moment we arrived, we felt so comfortable. The venue and surroundings are absolutely stunning, where our friends ceremony was held was beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed and has a true country ambience. The food was absolutely devine, from the canapés, entree, main meal and desert, to even hot dogs at the end of the night!
