We hosted a Brunch for Good charity event with 100 guests. Natalie is a true professional and it all ran so smoothly with delicious food. The wait staff were amazing and service gold class. We are so lucky to have such a quality venue locally.

We had our work end of year party in the Pavilion and could not recommend the Orchard enough. The team was professional and on the ball, and there were many package options to suit. It was by far the best experience I've had with a venue.

Nepean Business Network held our annual Melbourne Cup Charity breakfast in the Pavilion. Such a beautiful space for functions and the function staff were such a pleasure to deal with from start to finish!

We celebrated our daughter's Christening at the Pavilion, and it was so beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the venue, the food, the service. The park was a huge hit with the kids. Natalie was a dream to work with.

Organising an event for a large group of 50 people can be stressful, especially on short notice, but the team handled everything seamlessly. The Stables was the perfect space. Bakery Brothers created a stunning custom gluten-free cake with only a few days' notice.

We held my father's wake here in the Pavilion. The gardens and venue are stunning and the staff were friendly and helpful with all our needs.
