We had our wedding reception at Leonda by the Yarra, and from the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and attentive to our needs. They were responsive throughout the entire planning process, making sure they understood our vision for the day. Every question we had was answered promptly, which helped make the whole experience much less stressful. Leading up to the big day, they were proactive in coordinating everything—not just with us but also with our vendors, which was a huge help. The venue itself was perfect for our wedding, with a spacious and well-laid-out design that comfortably accommodated our large guest list. One of the highlights was the option for a boat departure, which was such a unique and memorable way to end the night. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Leonda and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized wedding venue!

Amazing venue! Everything was so organised and seamless from start to finish. Ashley was an amazing event coordinator and was so easy to communicate with. She was so helpful and made it really easy for us to stay on track. Our event host Stella was also very lovely! Unfortunately I was sick on our wedding day but the team was super accomodating and even made me a couple of saltwater gargles 😂. The venue and ambience was stunning and speaks for itself + there were also great spots for pics! Thank you to everyone at Leonda for hosting the wedding of our dreams!!

We recently celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary at the stunning Leonda by the Yarra, hosted by the wonderful team at Melbourne Event Group. From our initial visit to the venue to the end of our celebration, everything was seamless and professionally managed. The food was incredibly tasty, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. We couldn't be happier or more grateful for making our event such a success. We had specifically requested a table arrangement which was well executed by the team. A big thank you to Daniele, Kendall, and Tom. Kendall kept us informed of all choices and progress leading up to the event, and Tom kept us at ease on the day, ensuring everything went smoothly without any issues. Special thanks to the chef for creating the most delicious food that everyone enjoyed, the servers who ensured everyone was well-fed, and the bar attendants for their amazing cocktails. The staff always had a smile and were just fabulous with their service. It was a truly memorable day at Leonda.

From the day my (now) husband and I walked into Leonda by the Yarra we knew this was going to be where we got married. We were looking for a small intimate space and the garden room looked to be the perfect size for our wedding. I made a simple online enquiry about the space and was warmly greeted by Melanie who was super enthusiastic about showing all Leonda had to offer. Melanie took great care in responding to the questions I had with regards to the Venue. On the first meeting we had, Melanie went through all the inclusions that Leonda had to offer, she really understood our culture and what we would value most on our wedding day. What stood out the most during our meeting was the offering of the Leonda's dedicated team. She was not wrong, our Wedding day coordinator Ashley Price went above and beyond with helping us get ready for the perfect wedding. There was no enquiry/request too big or small that Ashley would do her best to accommodate. Our guest felt immediately welcomed as they entered the space. The room was roaring with happy guest and loud conversations. The team took special care of the Bridal to make sure the day was seamless. One of the greatest days of our lives, thank you Leonda and Team :)

Leonda by the Yarra exceeded every expectation as our wedding venue. From the moment we began planning, their team (special mention to Alex our co-ordinator) was incredibly supportive, offering invaluable guidance that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. On the night, the service was truly exceptional—professional, attentive, and warm. We felt completely taken care of, and every detail was flawlessly executed. The beautiful riverside setting added a magical touch, and our guests took note of the incredible atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience!
