I love The Ivory's classy and elegant inner and outer decor. The grand piano in the foyer looks and sounds amazing and I love impressing guests with it whenever I get invited to perform there.
Katie took incredible care of us and the Ivory is a 10/10 venue. There’s so many incredible inclusions that set them apart from the rest and help you save so much money! Plus the food is actually incredible and all cooked on site. Thank you Ivory team for making our day so special ❤
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with our recent experience at The Ivory. As a guessed l could see the disappointment of bride and groom that their dream wedding turned into a nightmare due to several issues. Firstly, there was a power outage at the reception. While I understand that these events can sometimes be beyond control, the alternative location provided was far from ideal. The space was cramped, uncomfortable, and did not meet the expectations set by the original venue. Furthermore, the guests had to pay for parking in the city, which was an unexpected and unwelcome expense. This added to the overall stress and frustration of the day. Most concerning was the response from the staff when they requested compensation for these inconveniences. They were unhelpful and dismissive, showing little understanding or empathy for the distress caused, especially to the bride and groom. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend The Ivory to anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating wedding venue. Their special day was ruined, and the lack of support from the venue only made things worse.
My husband and I were lucky enough to get married at The Ivory in November 2021 just as Covid restrictions were easing after what was a difficult year. After our first visit to the venue we knew this was the one - it has the perfect mix between modern and romantic elegance and the beautiful courtyard was an added bonus as this meant we didn't have to have the ceremony at a different location to the reception. The Ivory has a generous main reception room with a large dancefloor along with ample space in the foyer allowing for our wonderful vendors such as the photobooth and ice cream cart to serve our guests. Although we opted for our own decor, it was lovely to see the venue hire had a lot of great inclusions as standard. We were also very happy with Jennifer as our co-ordinator who was very helpful and answered our millions of questions and provided comfort and flexibility in a time of uncertainty. Thanks to The Ivory and the team for making our day so memorable and ensuring things ran as smoothly as they did.
We had our wedding at The Ivory back in 2019 before the COVID pandemic. What a beautiful night. Everything was run smoothly and beautifully. Our guests still boast about our wedding until this day, which in fact is what reminded me to put up this google review! I did not feel stressed at all on the night. Everything that had been discussed and that we asked for, was executed perfectly on the night. Thank you to the team at The Ivory Elsternwick ❤️.
