Client Reviews

We recently got married here and we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing venue and hosts. Kylie and Johnny went above and beyond to get the venue finished for us and it looked so stunning. They were a dream to work with and would definately recommend Coventry to anyone looking for the perfect location to get married!

Thanks so much to you both.

Our wedding took place right after a cyclone, so having a spacious, completely dry venue was an incredible relief. We didn’t have to stress about the weather at all and the venue was warm and comfortable even in April. Johnny and Kylie went above and beyond to get everything ready for us and the venue looked absolutely stunning with the Autumn colours and lit up at night.
