The service was great and we received compliments from many guests on the service from your staff, food and beautiful venue." - Ijma & Aaron - February 2025 “We wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your team for helping make our Wedding Day so special. Given we only had 10 weeks up our sleeves to plan, you have all been very accommodating and flexible to our needs. The day itself went off without a hitch. we could not have asked for a better day. All our guests were so impressed with the venue and the little additions we made to dress it up. There were lots of comments on how beautiful the grounds were and how good all the food was - from the canapes to the desserts - we haven’t had a bad piece of feedback. All in all, we're so stoked we had our wedding at Markovina, thank you again so much for accommodating our requests and making it an unforgettable day." - Kiran & Maya - April 2025 "Thank you and the team so much for assisting us from the beginning. Without you guys our wedding wouldn’t be as great as it turned out to be! Everyone really enjoyed the venue and the food, but they have no idea how much pressure you guys have taken off our shoulder. We were lucky enough to have Rina herself greet us on the day and having you and Anna to coordinate with our helpers. Also we would like to thank Mark for customizing the drink list for us! Last but not least, I would like to thank Delwyn. This memory is going to be in our heart forever. We cannot thank you enough for creating such a wonderful experience to us." - Kristy & Frank - May 2025
