Serena Sent on 15/01/2026We walked into Essendon and fell in love!
From the moment we walked through the door Essendon and the Team welcomed us in.
The professional and personal approach started there.... we then had planning meetings, menu tastings, wine tastings and the final preparation/confirmation that Essendon and Jo's team going to deliver the best day. They absolutely fulfilled our expectations with a completely seamless day from start to finish, everything was perfect.
We cant wait to come back and celebrate all our big milestones back at Essendon. Essendon and the team will always be part of our memories and we can wait to make new ones with you all.Essendon Country Club's reply:

Wow! Stunning Venue!
What can we say about ECC that hasn't already been said?! It's such a stunning venue. All of our guests commented on this and the Christmas decorations installed were just perfect. Jo, Fiona, Aidan and the whole team were just fabulous from start to finish. Despite a slight hiccup (which was resolved straight away), it was the most perfect day. I'm not sure who they bribed to get us the most perfect rainbow for our pictures either but it felt like our loved ones who aren't with us anymore were looking down through the day ❤️Essendon Country Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review Lucie and Simon – your both just fabulous!!
We are all so glad you had the best day, and the rainbow truly was the icing on the cake - thank you for choosing ECC to host such a special day and we hope to see you back soon for a catch up xx -

We had our wedding at Essendon Country Club and from start to finish it was absolutely amazing. From the very first call with Jo last year, I instantly felt like a calm bride. She assured me that there was no need for stress and reminded me to enjoy the planning as much as the big day itself. She was right, the whole planning process was a breeze with Jo at our side, and this was noted by so many of our guests who commented on how excellent she is at her job.
The food and wine tastings were such lovely experiences, and every visit to Essendon felt special, with complimentary drinks and the warmest of welcomes. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The wedding day itself was unbelievable, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The team made sure we savoured every moment, including time just for the two of us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was incredible, with a huge variety to choose from, and the service throughout was exceptional.
A huge thank you to Jo, Katie, Fiona, Head Chef, Jason and all of the wonderful staff who are not only brilliant at what they do, but also so kind and genuine. Essendon gave us the perfect day, and we will forever be grateful! -

Yasmin Sent on 13/09/2025The Most Perfect Day!
Our wedding day at Essendon was everything we’d hoped for and more. The day was completely perfect and so well organised. Jo & Fiona were amazing throughout the whole planning process and made us feel at complete ease. The venue was beautiful and the most reasonably priced out of the venues we had visited. Our guests all commented on how lovely the day was and the food was amazing! We’d highly recommend Essendon to everyone! -

Gemma Sent on 21/07/2025The perfect venue for a wedding! 🤍
We got married at Essendon on 12th July and honestly couldn’t have been happier with how our big day went. Where do we start?! From the very beginning, when we visited Essendon on one of their open days, we were shown around by Jo and she was just so lovely, bubbly and had a big smile on her face (Fiona too!!). We knew, when we left that Essendon was the venue for us. Both Jo and Fiona are just amazing, from booking our wedding date right up to our big day, nothing was too much to ask!
Not only is Essendon a beautiful venue, it’s accommodating with a big farmhouse which slept up to 9 guests, a huge kitchen and space to get ready.
We’re still talking about our wedding and how happy we were, we wouldn’t change a thing! That’s all thanks to our suppliers, the venue and of course, Jo and Fiona!
The food was amazing, we’ve had many messages complimenting the menu and again how accommodating Essendon were to certain allergies/dietary requirements. There’s so many options to chose from and everything we chose was delicious!
Jo and Fiona are very quick at responding to emails and very happy to help - they made us feel at easy and Fiona was amazing on our wedding day, always ensuring we were okay and had a drink in our hands! The staff were great and very bubbly, ensuring our day went smooth and our guests were happy. Everything went smoothly and that’s all we wished for.
If you’re thinking of booking your wedding, we’d 100% suggest visiting here on an open day!
Thank you so much Jo, Fiona and everyone at Essendon! 🌟🤍Essendon Country Club's reply:

Not only was it a privilege and honor to host such an important and special occasion, but it was so so lovely to meet and work with you, Tom and your gorgeous daughter Nellie :) and it was so lovely to see your friends and family enjoy the day and celebrate with you.
Thank you for trusting us with your wedding, we will miss seeing you at the club so you must promise to come back soon and show us your wedding album and have a catch up.
Lots of love Jo, Fiona and all the ECC Team x

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.Essendon Country Club's reply:

We already miss you both at the venue, so come down soon with the dogs for a walk and a drink so we can catch up :)
Wishing you all the happiness and best for your fabulous future together, thank you for trusting us for one of the most important days of your life, we are forever grateful.
Lots of love Jo, Fiona and all the team at ECC xx -

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:
