BRUNSWICK MESS HALL REVIEW (4.7STARS)

Gina:  Luke is THE ultimate wedding fairy at the Brunswick Mess Hall and must be protected at all costs!! These days it's so rare that an event turns out even better than imagined - but our wedding celebration is something we will cherish forever thanks to Luke and the Brunswick Mess Hall team. After chatting to so many venues, going with Brunswick Mess Hall is one of THE BEST decisions we made. Through the highs and lows of many lockdowns, and with this being cancelled once before, it was amazing how Luke and his team at Brunswick Mess Hall pulled out all the stops to ensure that everything stayed as true as possible to our ideal plans. They took care of EVERYTHING and really, really considered our needs. The evening flowed super smoothly, the guests loved the food, service was great and all we had to do was just rock up and enjoy ourselves. We couldn't be more grateful. Highly highly recommend weddings at Brunswick Mess Hall.

Kelly: What can I say about the Brunswick Mess Hall? Venue, food, vibe of our dreams. The staff are next level amazing. We had our wedding reception here at Brunswick Mess Hall & I am still dreaming about how incredible it was. Everything about the night was absolute perfection. We had rave reviews from our guests about the food. I know Luke is no longer the event manager (big, sad loss for Brunswick Mess Hall) but a huge shout out to him, as well. I cannot thank everyone involved in our reception enough. The memories we created with our friends & family the night of our wedding at Brunswick Mess Hall will remain with us, always.

Stacey: We got married here at Brunswick Mess Hall March 2020 and it was an absolutely perfect day. All the staff were outstanding, Luke is a planning wizard and goes the extra mile, and then 5 more, to make your day and the entire lead up to it what you want it to be. The interior of Brunswick Mess Hall is so cool already you don't need to waste money on flowers or any other decorations.

We went back Brunswick Mess Hall over a year later for dinner and he recognized us immediately, and we just went back for our 2nd anniversary and the wonderful Martine recognized us straight away too (sorry we missed you this time Luke!).

As well as the staff being wonderful here at Brunswick Mess Hall the food is to die for, and I'm so glad that I finally got to try the Red Pumpkin Curry now that they do a less spicy version for spice wusses like me.

No matter what you're celebrating (a birthday, a wedding, a Wednesday) you will find what you need here at Brunswick Mess Hall. Thanks guys for always being awesome.
