Beautiful Wedding Venue
We cannot recommend Essendon enough.
From the moment we met Jo for our initial walk round we fell in love with the place. The high beams, beautiful staircase and glorious surroundings are just a few of the things that make Essendon so special.
We mainly liased with Jo and Fiona, both of whom were amazing from day 1. You can see how much they enjoy their job and the passion they put in to making sure our wedding day was special & memorable will never be forgotten. Nothing was too much trouble and they were quick to respond to every question and query.
The whole team at Essendon are fantastic and cannot do enough to help from being so friendly each time we visited, fabulous service on the day and even serving us breakfast the next day.
The food is delicious and all of our guests commented on how lovely it was. Menu tasting and wine tasting are included and such a special experience to share.
The farmhouse is beautiful and we chose to for the bridal party to get ready here on the morning of the wedding and also stayed overnight after the wedding had finished. We would definitely recommend this as it made the day last that little bit longer.
We would highly recommend Essendon if you are looking for beautiful surroundings, a gorgeous barn type setting and a stress free experience of organising your wedding day.
It truly was the best day of our lives and we will never forget the memories made at Essendon. -

Lauren Sent on 11/06/2025Our wedding day
We recently had our wedding at Essendon Country Club, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the day was absolutely perfect – it was everything we had dreamed of and more.
The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail made all the difference. The food was absolutely delicious – we’re still getting compliments from our guests who had a fabulous time and haven’t stopped talking about how amazing the day was.
The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere warm and welcoming, and the staff were exceptional throughout. We are so grateful to have chosen Essendon CC for our special day – it really was the best day of our lives.
We will never forget our trips in the golf buggy and the laughs we had along the way! Jo and Fiona we owe you more than words can ever say, you were nothing short of amazing throughout the planning and execution of our wedding day! Thank you again for making it so memorable!

Our wedding at Essendon Country Club was everything we ever dreamt of and more! From the moment we booked the venue, to after our wedding day! If anyone is looking for a venue to get married in, we would 100% recommend this place.
The team did an amazing job at setting majority of it up, I did not expect it all to be ready when we got there in the morning. I cried when I walked in and saw it all as I just didn’t expect it to look as beautiful as it did. I honestly thought I was going to walk in to empty tables waiting to be decorated!
So many guests complimented on the venue and how beautiful it is, the grounds as well. I even had a few guests say that if they got married, Essendon would be perfect for them - and I said I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!!
We had our food tasting session prior to the wedding day with Fiona which was full of yummy foods, was quite hard to pick what to have. We finalised on what we wanted, and even tweaked it slightly to suit our guests, Essendon were very accommodating! Food went down well on the day with all the guests - everyone loved it and complimented it. One of our guests had an unexpected procedure booked in for a few days after our wedding and the team were amazing at making up a separate meal very last minute for our guest - so thank you!!
We had a golf buggy ride after the ceremony, that was an experience! Was so lovely to leave all our guests to enjoy the drinks whilst we were off getting pictures around the beautiful grounds!
I honestly couldn’t thank the team at Essendon enough for everything they’ve done. Our parents kept saying how attentive, how professional, how polite, and accommodating the staff was (we couldn’t agree more!) - especially Jo, you really made everything run so smooth and the day just went beautifully. I want to do it all over again!!
Jo and her team made sure that the morning of the wedding went so smoothly. I didn’t need to worry about anything, there was no stress at all. We had everything we needed during the morning and Jo kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay!
So basically, the best best venue and wedding co-ordinators. I’m so happy that our original venue was cancelled because 100% - we wouldn’t have got what we got with you guys.
Thank you so much for everything. We really mean that from the bottom of our heart, we both loved every single moment of our wedding day, it went perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for anything more.Essendon Country Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your incredible feedback, Le-anne and Matt what an absolute pleasure it has been getting to know you both and planning your wedding day.
It was such a honor to host such an important and special occasion for you, I am so glad it was everything you wanted it to be and more! 😊
Essendon looked so beautiful, I loved your gorgeous choice in décor and colours – sage green works so perfectly complimenting the venue!
I am so glad the weather turned out perfectly and I have no doubt you got some wonderful photos. It was so nice to see everyone outside enjoying the sunshine.
It was lovely to meet so many of your friends and family, everyone was so kind and complimentary – all the team at ECC really loved working on your wedding day and there was such a buzz around the venue, so wonderful to see and be part of.
Once again, huge congrats!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and all the best for your future x

Can’t recommend Essendon Country Club enough. We had our wedding day 03.05.2025 and I will never forgot it! Everyone said how beautiful the venue was. The whole team at Essendon are extremely helpful and communication was amazing! I can’t thank Jo and Fiona enough for everything they helped us with and answering all our questions. We wish we could do it all over again. The farm house is beautiful and was definitely a must to avoid any stress the morning of the wedding! Essendon set our wedding up for us and it was exactly how I wanted. Thank you so so much again!! Bonnie & Lee xxEssendon Country Club's reply:

Carl&Hannah Sent on 16/01/2024Our wonderful November wedding at Essendon
My husband and I had a wonderful wedding, the best day ever, and the help and support of Essendon was a huge factor to that. From our first e-mail and meeting Fiona and Jo were so kind, welcoming and helpful. The menu tasting, the final meeting before the wedding and more made us feel we were in very safe hands. Fiona and Jo liaised with all of our suppliers which took a huge load off of our shoulders. On the day my dress got muddy and Fiona helped dry it with a hair dryer, such support for a bride on the day!
I could not recommend Essendon more. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic and it all seemed so seamless.Essendon Country Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your lovely review Hannah, we absolutely loved planning & hosting your wedding and are so glad you both had a wonderful celebration.
Wishing you and Carl all the happiness for your future together.

Highly recommend!
We got married at Essendon in September 2023. The team at Essendon ensured that our wedding went smoothly from start to finish! We had a fantastic day and all of the guests commented on how lovely the venue was. Our wedding planner Fiona was very attentive throughout and also very flexible with our ever-changing minds and guest list! They listened to everything we wanted and went above and beyond to achieve this for us. I highly recommend to anyone considering choosing Essendon for their wedding venue! -

Rosanna Sent on 05/09/2023The best day ever!!
We stumbled across Essendon Country Club by accident and it happened to be on an open day! We both instantly fell in love with the venue. We met Jo and she really didn’t need to sell it much to us because we were already sold- we did go see other venues but we had already set our heart on Essendon! Jo, Fiona and the whole team from day one till the wedding day have been nothing but amazing! Nothing was ever too much, they did all they could to make sure our wedding was perfect! Every request no matter how strange they always had a solution and it truly made such a difference! When it came to our actual wedding day again they were all amazing from start to finish- it sadly rained all day but it didn’t change a thing! We did everything we wanted regardless of the weather and that was down to the fantastic team. We loved the idea of some photos on the bridge, so Jo fixed us an umbrella and the golf buggy to get us there- again nothing was ever too much! We are both so grateful for making our day super special and a massive thank you for all you’ve done for us! Jo even made sure we got some canopy’s- we would have been lost without you!
Thank you Essendon you have been truly amazing and we can thank you enough!Essendon Country Club's reply:
Dear Rosanna & Dan,
Thank you for your incredible review.
It was such a pleasure to host your wedding here at Essendon and all the team have commented on how lovely your guests were and I think your menu choices went down a treat! There was such a buzz around the venue, so lovely to be part of.
I nearly cried during your joint speech guys, it was so moving, emotional, funny, real and honest – I just loved it.
Essendon looked so beautiful, we loved your choice in styling, colours and flower centre pieces. I know how hard you worked on the details and it really paid off, the wedding looked stunning and I think everything came together perfectly.
I have no doubt you got some wonderful photos of the celebration 😊
Huge congratulations!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and all the best for your future together.
Ps. don’t be strangers we would love to catch up in a few months when all is settled and you have your pictures back so we can reminisce and see all the wonderful moments captured!

Tony Sent on 09/12/2022The Best Wedding venue by far!
Five stars doesn't do this venue justice! From the venue location and setting itself to the staff that managed our wedding from the very start to the first dance, everything was perfect.
This was the last venue we looked at, and we instantly knew it was the one for us.
Jo the wedding planner was amazing! She was cool, calm and very highly organised. Nothing was too much bother for her, and if any suppliers that she recommended to us gave us stress, she was on it. Our Wedding day couldn't have gone better or smoother. When we arrived at 7:30 we estimated that we would have everything ready by 10:30. I was ordering breakfast by 9am as the venue had put out and organised the barn exactly how we wanted. I can't tell you how much we appreciated this and how it got the day off on the right foot.
If you are planning your wedding, and looking for somewhere, book this lovely venue. You won't be disappointed.
