Impeccable Service!

The service we received from Teresa Joanne was impeccable from start to finish. They off you a menu to look over and then you coose some items from the 3 course meal you’ll want to taste.
You later on get invited to a food tasting afternoon including a decor set up if you've chosen that package.

Soon after you have a chance to sit down with them and go over the details of the wedding including the meal plan. You are able to liase with them all the way up to the moment of your special day. It's fantastic. It made everything so simpler for us. We planned it in a very short space of time. 4 months to be precise but if it wasn't for the hassle free service that Teresa Joanne offers, I don't know how we would have gotten through the process with such ease. Thank you so much again Teresa Joanne. It was an absolute splendid day and we appreciate all your hard work for us. It was a success 🙌🏽

A very personalised service with an amazing view!

We had our wedding at Tereza Joanne in June 2023, we were initially hesitating between this venue and hotels, looking back we're so happy that we picked Tereza Joanne!!

On our very first visit (while we were hunting for wedding venues), Marian took such good care of us: we got a really strong vibe that the service would be very personalised, we got loads of tips and advice about how to organise wedding receptions, overall a very nice feeling that we'd be very well looked after. And also a very warm/personal feeling as this is a small family business.

The view from the rooftop and through the windows is unbeatable (we had a beautiful sunny day)! And the food is great!
Not all wedding venues have their own kitchen, the food is so good that they actually cater for other venues, this is very telling :)

Communication was very smooth throughout the whole process, Adrian the chef is great, the tasting sessions themselves were such a treat! On the dah we had such a nice time, the vibe was great. For example the staff were also dancing behind the bar! Our guests told us the service (run by Michael) was amazing!

They really catered for our various needs, for example we had games during the meal so the service had to be adapted accordingly, we also had an open bar setup for our guests with a specific list of drinks.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
