   Gracious, elegant, kind, and warm! Markovina is the number 1 venue of weddings for a reason. From the beginning of our experience with Lachlan and his welcoming aura, to dealing and catering for a large family visit multiple times. Markovina was absolutely incredible. Mark & Katrina from our initial meeting to lock in dates were so kind and generous. Offering nibbles and bites for my family to enjoy. It was such a stress free planning process. Now I must give biggest props to beautiful Katrina & incredible Rachel in admin. These two ladies and their communication and kindness of answering all my questions with such grace and humility was beautiful. Katrina went above and beyond, and Rachel was incredibly warm in her communication. Her emails was always a highlight to receive. Coming to the wedding day, my family were blessed to be escorted inside by Rina Markovina. Wonderful Boss lady, that was incredibly welcoming and ushering us in. Offering us bubbles, and honestly treating us like royalty on our special day. My family respected her grace and presence so much. What an incredible woman. Then gorgeous Anna Sanchez our superstar Event Manager! Wow she made the whole day go so easy. She even remembered to feed the bride and groom, when we forgot to eat. Anna was such a ray of sunshine and everyone who works at Markovina was incredible. As an Island family, we are hard critics for food, but my family enjoyed it! We had our elders and aunties on their Facebook Lives just sharing how incredible the food was. The drinks were phenomenal! The Cocktails out of this world. There is not a day or time that I will ever regret hosting our wedding at Markovina. They are phenomenal hosts truly accustomed to catering for all cultures, especially our vibrant Pacific cultures. It was honestly a massive Fia Fia night during our wedding. For those reading, thinking is it worth it? For us, yes I would do it again if I could - and relive those wonderful memories. From my husband and I, and on behalf of our family. Fa’afetai tele lava, Meitaki poria, & Fakafetai lasi. May your business continue to thrive in the future, we offer you all our blessings and biggest gratitude for smashing our expectations out the park! And offering my family and I our dream wedding! Happy New Years Markovina!

   We first visited Markovina at the start of the year while searching for a venue to get married at, and after about a minute, it was a no brainer for us. This venue is AMAZING; with breathtaking scenery across each landscape. The staff were absolutely incredible! We worked with Mark and Katrina who were excellent in helping us get through all the logistics, and then on our actual wedding day, Alex and his team (Adam, Zara, Jonathan, Rebecca, Mia and others) were just so incredibly caring, helpful patient and considerate in providing the best service while a lot was going on throughout our day. We really felt that the team at Markovina went above and beyond to provide me and my wife, and our family, the best service possible during our wedding day. I would whole heartedly recommend that anyone stop by and consider working with them in the future to bring your special events to life.

   From the moment we began planning our wedding, Markovina Vineyard Estate made everything so easy and stress-free. Kat was there to hold our hand through every step, making sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day, she was right there making sure everything was perfect before the ceremony, which gave us so much peace of mind. The team at Markovina is incredible. The staff were attentive and friendly, and even the owner, Rina, took the time to drop by while we were decorating, helping with final touches. They made us feel like family and made the whole day run so smoothly. Every moment, from the ceremony to the reception, felt magical and unforgettable. The food was absolutely amazing, from the ceremony canapés to dessert, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Markovina has rightfully earned its awards for best wedding venue, and they truly live up to them. We will never stop sharing our experience with friends and family.

   Attended a wedding reception at Markovina Vineyard Estate in late autumn. Although there was a bit of drizzle, the venue was a good size and handled the weather well. The estate was beautifully maintained and professionally decorated. Catering quality depends on the hosts' budget, but in our case it was good to great. Did not include photos with people for privacy reasons, but you can get a better idea of the venue from other photos online. A lovely place for a special occasion.

   11/10 would recommend! The venue itself is gorgeous with so many outdoor locations to select and the most gorgeous indoor option! We ended up having our mandap indoors due to the weather and didn’t feel like we missed out as we had a beautiful chandelier and fireplace framing it! But what makes this place truly special is the staff and the genuine care they have for making sure your big day goes exactly as you had imagined! We worked with Katrina and Mark to plan out the day and they were so accomodating to our needs and really went the extra mile for us! Then on the big day we had Rina and Maxine who made sure everything ran like clockwork! They played a huge role in helping us pull off the impossible - making an Indian wedding run on time and to plan! We got so many compliment from our guests on the venue, food and staff! I cannot recommend them enough!

   From the minute we decided to have our wedding here we knew we were in good hands. The staff at Markovina were all so warm and friendly and proved to be passionate about making sure couples get their dream weddings. They helped us through the reorganisation of our wedding through Covid and we with us every step of the way. On the day they shared our excitement and joy and we couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Our wedding guests had such a good time and so did we. We are all still talking about our magical day and both families agree that it was truely a wedding to remember. Thank you so much Markovina Team!

   Great venue for weddings, from the ceremony through to the reception. Very nice spot for either outdoor or indoor wedding. Good catering with food of high quality. A very interesting and well placed locale. Would likely be good for corporate retreat.
