“We had our Wedding at Mission Estate Winery (14 January 2017) and I could not fault the day! The venue was amazing, the scenery was stunning, the service was second-to-none and the team completely exceeded our expectations. Erin was INCREDIBLE! From the moment we chose the Mission, Erin worked closely with us to create our dream wedding. No request was too difficult and we were made to feel like our wedding was the only one Erin was planning. Erin always went above and beyond what was required. She offered helpful suggestions and thought of things that hadn’t crossed our minds. The food and wine was to die for and all our guest commented on this. They catered for our guests with allergies and the wedding menu itself has a huge selection. There are so many inclusions in the wedding package you choose, like the Bridal hamper, candelabras, bridal parlour, printed menus, sound system, and isle carpet, shade umbrellas, wet-weather venue, linen, glassware, tables etc that other vendors don’t include. For such an exclusive venue with such outstanding service, Mission is very competitive & I cannot recommend Erin & her staff highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” - Beth McCasey
