Tracy you are truly are amazing at your job, you make it so easy.  It made it so much easier knowing you had it all under control.

Wedding of Sarah & Andy

What an amazing place to have the most important day in one’s life. My son and daughter in law were married this past weekend and they couldn’t have chosen a better place. Tracey was amazing with her organising and certainly went above and beyond the call of duty, right down to giving the bride a shoulder massage to get rid of her headache. The staff were so friendly and helpful yet unobtrusive. The food was just lovely and the portions were a good size. Melton Estate would certainly be my preferred venue for any function. Thanks for making Dan & Laurens special day that bit more special Tracy.

Wedding of Dan & Lauren

I couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else! Melton Estate is a beautiful venue and the biggest asset is definitely Tracy!! Everything went smoothly on our wedding day and a huge part of that is Tracy and her amazing team.

Tracy handled everything with ease and gave us so many great ideas. She made planning a dream and thought of things we never would have considered! Nothing was a problem and the service was amazing.

Food…. WOW! The food was perfect! Thank you so much for catering to some of our challenges with ease.

The pavilion was also perfect! Warm, romantic and gorgeous. The wines are truly beautiful and the autumn weather gave the perfect back drop for photos.

Thank you so much for making our wedding truly special for us.

Wedding of Sheridan & Angus

Thank you for providing such a beautiful venue.  Our day went off without a hitch and I’m sure this is down to your amazing organisation skills.
Everyone had a lovely time and raved about the food and how beautiful it is at Melton Estate.  Also lots of fan of the Summer Love.

Wedding of Mr & Mrs Mills

We spent a lunch at Melton Estate. It was a great experience. The team were friendly an professional and clearly love what they do. On the moment of seating we were asked if we had any food allergies and these were easily able to be accommodated. In addition, there were specials off the menu that could be tailored to suit our tastes and the staff knew exactly what was in their food. The food was delicious and so is the wine. I would highly recommend Melton Estate to anyone wanting a fantastic experience that is not too far from the city.

Julie – lunch guest in July
