ROCKLEA FARM REVIEW (4.9 STARS)

Medeleine: We had an incredible experience with Rocklea Farm a couple of weeks ago for our wedding. Dave, Glen and the staff were so lovely, and the guidance that they provided was invaluable for two people with little idea of how to plan a wedding. We felt supported every step of the way. And the venue itself – stunning! There are so many beautiful areas of the venue that mean you can get stunning Geelong wedding videography as well as wedding photos. We felt so confident in the coordination of Rocklea Farm with all of our vendors, that it was such a weight off our shoulders. It ran so smoothly, which was a testament to the professionalism of the team. Would recommend!

Karrie: Outstanding service and stunning Geelong wedding venue! There aren’t enough words to describe the quality and professionalism of the staff. The photos don’t do the venue justice, it’s simply stunning. My daughter and new son in laws wedding was a few days ago. It went off without a hitch due to the attention to detail from the Rocklea staff. Nothing was too much for them. I also stayed the night in the glamping tents, they were clean, comfortable and convenient after a long day. The breakfast boxes were lovely and the amenities were exceptionally clean.

Jake: Cannot fault the experience I have at Rocklea Farm every single time I work there. I’m a Geelong wedding photographer, and Rocklea Farm is one of my favourite Geelong venues to work at. Dave and Glenn make you feel like family, and they truly care about providing the best experience possible for our couples.

I particularly love that they’ve thought of everything to make the day run smoothly – they mow the fields in the great areas for portraits, they have beautifully styled indoor areas, they have an indoor option for ceremonies in case of bad weather, and it’s just such a beautiful property everywhere you look.

Look forward to being back there tomorrow for a wedding! 🙂
