Newlywed testimonial

“The best day of my life at the best venue”

“I honestly could not recommend The Vu enough!! The most amazing venue - everything was organised, flowed amazing and the staff were simply outstanding. They go the extra mile to help you in so many ways. On the day of the wedding, we had an outstanding wedding coordinator. She was outstanding and because of her the wedding seemed to have less issues and Rhiannon was there to help. She was amazing! The Vu doesn’t only have a beautiful venue but has the greenery for beautiful backdrops for photographs and also a body of water and a jetty for photos. The food was amazing so many of my guests complimented the food and we both loved the food's great choices and it was so tasty.” – The Burrows
