We got married at Runa Farm in May 2026, and overall, we had the most incredible day.
First and foremost, the team at Runa Farm were absolutely outstanding. From the bar staff and waiting team to our wedding managers, Kelsey and Amy, everyone went above and beyond to make our day special. A particular mention has to go to Maya, who seemed to be doing about twenty different jobs at once throughout the day and evening, all with a smile on her face.
Ian, the Master of Ceremonies, was fantastic. We first met him when we came to view Runa Farm and he immediately made us feel special and valued, despite also being busy coordinating a wedding that day. Throughout our entire journey, every member of the venue team was warm, welcoming and genuinely invested in making our day the best it could be. We had countless comments from family and friends about how brilliant the team were.
The venue itself is simply stunning. We viewed a lot of venues before booking Runa Farm, and nothing else came close. It hardly needs any decorating, the spaces are beautiful, and the team are very accommodating when it comes to tailoring the day to suit you as a couple.
We also stayed in the Farmhouse the night before the wedding and would highly recommend it to other couples. Whilst it is an additional expense, it took away the stress of finding somewhere else to stay and allowed our entire bridal party to spend the evening together before the big day. It was a lovely experience and made the start of our wedding celebrations feel even more special.
The wedding day itself was organised like a well-oiled machine. Everything ran smoothly, and when our external photobooth supplier failed to turn up, the team very kindly stepped in and lent us the venue photobooth. We genuinely can't thank them enough for that.
The only area where our experience could have been improved was the planning process through the external wedding coordinator based at Apartment Group head office. Alysha was always helpful when we had questions and did support us throughout the planning process. However, we found parts of the experience quite sales-focused, with communications often centred around additional upgrades and extras. We completely understand that these options form part of the wedding journey, but as a couple working to a tight budget, it sometimes felt a little disheartening.
Our final planning meeting, which was scheduled for two hours, lasted around 40 minutes and felt more rushed than we had expected. Whilst we covered everything that needed to be discussed, we left feeling a little disappointed. After spending months planning one of the biggest days of our lives, we had hoped for a more personal conversation about our wedding. Instead, the meeting felt quite scripted and transactional at times, as though we were moving through a checklist rather than discussing a day that was unique to us as a couple.
We also experienced some delays at the beginning of the process, having to chase for our contract and coordinator details after paying our deposit, which was frustrating given we had been encouraged to secure our date quickly.
Importantly, these issues were with the central coordination process rather than the team at Runa Farm itself, who were exceptional throughout.
Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. The venue is beautiful, the on-site team are a real credit to Runa Farm, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other couples looking for a stunning venue and a team who genuinely care about delivering a special day.We got married at Runa Farm in May 2026, and overall, we had the most incredible day.
