Here’s what our couples say..

Charlotte Monis 2024

Hitesh and I were unsure of what we wanted from the venues we were viewing, but we knew we wanted a place that would leave us in awe. Your venue did exactly that.

Planning a wedding can be a daunting task, but with the right team by your side, it can be a breeze. This was exactly our experience at Abel Estate.

From the moment we set foot on the stunning grounds of Abel Estate, we were greeted with warm smiles and an air of professionalism that instantly put us at ease. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our vision for the day, and then worked tirelessly to bring it to life.

Kelly Sinclair 2024

Months of planning and envisioning every detail came together flawlessly, creating a picture-perfect setting for our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect backdrop. We highly recommend to any couple looking for a dream wedding venue!

For dinner the 3-course plated meal was simply delish. The food was super fresh and beautifully prepared and plated, big compliments to the chef and the rest of the team in the kitchen. My only regret is not eating more on the day!

Sarah Muller 2024

Abel Estate is the dream venue for those couples who want a beautiful fairytale garden wedding. Abel Estate has vast greenery, stunning florals blooming all over the place, an incredible lake with wildlife and gorgeous white features such as the swing chair and the rotunda. Abel Estate looks and feels like you’re stepping into wonderland, it is bright, fun, relaxing and well taken care of. We absolutely could not fault a thing.

Anna Maddren 2023

Abel Estate was the first venue we came to view, and we decided not to look further, as everything looked perfect - a beautiful location with a lake and vineyard, a great airy venue for the reception, an experienced team, providing great support with the wedding planning.

Our wedding was very well organised by the Abel Estate team, and every little detail was thought through. We had several meetings with wedding planners, which was super helpful. Thank you to the Abel Estate team for organizing our wedding! It was a pleasure working with you all.

Kirsten To 2023

We love the concept of having something romantic and magical, and Abel Estate had this. It was really my dream to have my wedding in a lovely garden beside a lake and once again, all of these are in Abel Estate.

My husband and I are working full-time, so having that concierge package made it so much easier for us. We did not get that stressed with planning, especially in the early months.

Lidia Sokolova 2023

The wedding was absolutely amazing because Abel Estate made it so easy for us with so many things included that we didn’t have to spend time looking around. They recommended an amazing florist who delivered way beyond our expectations. The planning meetings were really super helpful along with the staff that we had the pleasure of working with.

Rebecca Dennis 2023

We had the best day ever and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abel Estate.

Our guests raved about the food that was served. We chose the buffet style and so many guests went up for seconds or thirds. The pork belly was a hot favourite.

Nathan Tavelia-Augustine 2023

We couldn’t believe that a place as beautiful as Able Estate could be as affordable as it was. We booked a date and placed a deposit the same day we walked in.

Friends and family had many compliments to share after the wedding about how the food was decorated as well as how great it all tasted.
