What can we say but Wow! Leonda by the Yarra are the experts in weddings. We always love serving our Bubble Tea with them. Their staff always go the extra mile and there's always a lovely smiling face at the reception to help with any questions when we setup our Bubble Tea cart. Their food is always tasty and cooked perfectly. You can see the love and effort they put into every plate. Always love coming back there, we just feel so welcomed!

Our wedding at Leonda by the Yarra was pure magic, mostly due to the amazing team at Melbourne Event Group. From our very first engagement, the staff presented a beautiful medley of professionalism, warmth, and sincerity. Every single staff member we encountered, from our planning till the actual day, was attentive, caring, and genuinely aimed to give us a seamless and unforgettable experience. One of our most memorable experiences, and the reason we then chose Leonda, was their flexibility in allowing us to bring our two furbabies. That kind of consideration and flexibility made a strong impression and showed us how much they value personal considerations and client satisfaction. That kind act made us feel so recognised and supported, and it was the icing on the cake for us. The venue was just stunning: sophisticated, elegant, and just what we had envisioned. The river-side ambience was calm and romantic with all decor and ambiance working flawlessly. The food was absolutely fabulous: beautifully presented, delectably flavorful, and very much enjoyed by all our guests, who have since been raving about it. What truly set Melbourne Event Group apart was the attention to detail and extraordinary care we were given. They exceeded all expectations; there was nothing that was too much to ask. A relaxing, joyful experience instead of a daunting giant, all thanks to their calm in the face of chaos and sincere willingness to help. We never felt like just another booking; we felt cared for, affirmed, and truly cherished. It is rare to find a team that combines true heart, dedication, and professionalism. Hence, we would not think twice about recommending the Melbourne Event Group for anyone organising a special event. They put together something well beyond our expectations and gave us a day that we will cherish forever.

I attended a wedding here and was impressed! The venue is beautiful and elegant, with a beautiful foyer for mingling and a spacious dance floor. The entrées and desserts were sooo delicious, and the mains tasted decent. Plus, there are plenty of gorgeous photo spots 🤩

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!!
