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!!

From the day my (now) husband and I walked into Leonda by the Yarra we knew this was going to be where we got married.We were looking for a small intimate space and the garden room looked to be the perfect size for our wedding. I made a simple online enquiry about the space and was warmly greeted by Melanie who was super enthusiastic about showing all Leonda had to offer.Melanie took great care in responding to the questions I had with regards to the Venue. On the first meeting we had, Melanie went through all the inclusions that Leonda had to offer, she really understood our culture and what we would value most on our wedding day.What stood out the most during our meeting was the offering of the Leonda's dedicated team.She was not wrong, our Wedding day coordinator Ashley Price went above and beyond with helping us get ready for the perfect wedding. There was no enquiry/request too big or small that Ashley would do her best to accommodate.Our guest felt immediately welcomed as they entered the space. The room was roaring with happy guest and loud conversations. The team took special care of the Bridal to make sure the day was seamless.One of the greatest days of our lives, thank you Leonda and Team 🙂

It’s a lovely place a bit too sterile needs a more homely feeling to it. Staff were very pleasant and hard working.

We had nothing but the best experience with Leonda for our wedding last week. From the first meeting, through to the day, Leonda has been transparent, flexible, friendly, quick to respond, and overall exceptional. Kendall was amazing to work with and made our lives so much easier. Jen was also excellent on the night keeping everything on schedule, as well as the rest of the team. We would choose Leonda over and over again. It was perfect and the food was so delicious. All our guests were also very impressed.

If we could rate more than 5 stars, we would!! Leonda by the Yarra has been a DREAM to work with. We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in the Garden Room.Melanie from Sales was amazing from the get-go, providing us all the information we needed to know before securing in our day and giving us a tour of the venue. Kendall and Zoe also communicated well with any questions we had and planning in the lead up. Jen our venue coordinator on the night went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly! We really did feel at ease with this incredible team. We didn't know this until we looked back at photos, but they even handed out bottles of water to our guests as it was a warm 30 degrees day! How thoughtful and we are so grateful!They ticked all our boxes of what we wanted in our venue choice and they turned our dreams/visions into a reality!

We are so thankful we had our wedding at Leonda by the Yarra. The whole team was so easy to deal with and they took the stress of wedding planning right out of our hands. A special thank you to our personal coordinator Kendall, without whom we would not have gotten through the last two weeks of planning. Kendall was responsive, across all the information we sent her and so helpful.The food was amazing, the venue was amazing and the vibes were too notch.

Place has a smaller and main room, main room could be heard from outside the whole view by the river was a nice touch to pretend like we are somebody in out suits. Good venue loved it. The steak dish changed my life

On Saturday 30/09 we passed with our dog on leash and someone asked us to not to pass public access path that leads to an underpass to the dog park as the young man notes the groom does not like dogs or allergic to dogs, whoever is this person that is able to dictate the terms of a public pathway. If it's a staff, they need more training. If they're guests, they should not be given the idea that they can redirect traffic because your guest don't like it.

We had our wedding at Leonda by the Yarra. From the start, their support and organisation was second to none. We felt looked after and like we were in safe hands with them. The staff were so kind and lovely. The Indian banquet was also delicious!

Had my wedding here a little over a year ago and had the BEST experience. Not only were we supported at every stage during the lead up, but it’s very clear that every person involved really cares about the people who comes through their doors. From the moment we reached out to book a venue tour, through to when the big day was done, we were impressed at every step. This is clearly a business that has high standards, quality food (YUM!!), great service and is full of really genuine people. Plus the venue of course stunning. Absolutely recommend!! ♥️

Beautiful and modern function rooms overlooking the Yarra River.Service from staff was impeccable.Attended a wedding here, and found the venue stunning and bar well stocked with a wide variety of spirits.The food, on the other hand, was very ordinary and i felt very rushed. People on the table that had the chicken all complained how dry it was.I am sure you guys charge over $200 per person that meal was not worth even $20.Would i recommend it. I personally would not book a wedding there if the food is the same.

Fantastic venue that I would 100% recommend for any wedding. The venue is so beautifully set up that it really doesn’t require any additional decorations. Coordinated nearly every aspect of the event for us so that we didn’t have to, from the vendors to the setting up, to dealing with presents and left over belongings after. Everybody loved the food as well as how well dietary requirements were catered for. On the actual night service was simply immaculate and seamless. When it was all over we received beautifully packed leftovers and a thoughtful gift. For a stress-free wedding I would definitively recommend Leonda.

Went here to attend a wedding. Absolutely great location. Bar staff were super friendly and all the service staff did a wonderful job.I believe the table decorations were done by an external company. But everything was great. Had plenty of parking. Would highly recommend for any function
