Well, we’re back from our honeymoon so just wanted to let you know that we had the best time EVER at The Plantation for our wedding weekend.
 
It was just beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for anything more…..
 
Our friends and family who stayed on-site were blown away by how gorgeous the accommodation and grounds were….not to mention the fully stocked fridge and delicious breakfast each day!!!
 
A massive thank you to Tristan who was just brilliant.  He’s a true professional and made us feel all at ease with the order of events.  Nothing was too much trouble and he always had a smile on his face.
 
All of our guests said it was one of the best wedding that they have ever been to…..now I know they have to say that but I really do believe that they mean it!
 
From the bottom of our hearts, Lee & I would like to thank you, Kellie & Tristan for everything…..we loved every second!
 
I have also attached a few photos so you can see how beautiful it really was.
 
Thanks Angie…
 
Kind regards

I just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you helped with in making our wedding day beautiful and stress free, all of our guests commented on what a beautiful place The Plantation is and how relaxed and professional all staff were. Angie, you helped make the weeks leading up to the wedding stress free and we really appreciate all the effort you put in. Tristan, you were very helpful from the moment we got there with your attention to detail, everything ran so smoothly on the night, even when we had a late change to the schedule. You certainly have a great set up, and we look forward to staying there again.

Again, thank you for creating wonderful memories for ourselves and guests of our special day.

Wow.  Hamish and I had an absolute ball.  The weekend was perfect.  Our house guests loved the venue.  I have had so many calls, letters and emails from all of our guests complimenting the venue, food, service and all my hard work in organising the wedding.  If you don’t mind I have graciously accepted those lovely compliments, but you and I know I didn’t really do anything!!  I think that is the best feedback you could get.  You, Al, Tristian, Dave and all the staff did an amazing job with organising the whole thing.  Knowing that work was all done gave us the time to do the other stuff.
The way they handled the ceremony site issues worked great.  All your recommendations with regards to celebrant, Andrew on the guitar. All wonderful.
Considering you and I have never met face to face, I felt extremely relaxed and confident everything would go well. and it did.  I am normally extremely pedantic and fussy (I’m a Virgo) but I was so relaxed nothing could spoil the day and nothing did. I didn’t even have to check on the set up progress.
I’m pretty sure you will get a couple more bookings from a couple of my friends.  And thankyou for the gift for our anniversary. We can’t wait.  
Thank you again we wish we could do it all over!!

I have finally got around to writing to say THANK YOU for making my son’s wedding so beautiful, carefree, and glamorous. I would like to give a special commendation to Tristan in particular, but all the staff for looking after everyone so well not just on the day, but the day after, and of course leading up to the event. Everything was spectacular and “as promised”.
Lots of our guests commented it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The Plantation has our highest recommendation. Thank you for making Scott + Lucy’s day so memorable – Feb 06 2010. -   Donna Hyndman
Recently we attended the wedding of Lucy Haynes and Scott Hyndman on 6th February 2010 and I just wanted to write to compliment you on such a wonderful evening.  The venue and food were of a very high standard but what impressed me most of all was your wait staff.  Nothing was too much trouble for any of them and every request was attended to immediately and with a smile.  Please pass on my compliments to your staff.  They were exceptional.
Yours faithfully

Dear Kellie and Scott

I wanted to send a personal  note of thanks for your tremendous support during the recent Sunshine Coast Convention Bureau and Tourism Australia USA Corporate famil to the Sunshine Coast.

The efforts you and your team went to ensure our participants gained the most from their visit to the Plantation are greatly appreciated.

We have received considerable positive feedback from our guests who were delighted with the property and were especially impressed by the potential of the Plantation to host larger incentive dinners and events.

Again, thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality and ongoing support and I look forward to working with you again soon.

With best regards

Anne-Marie Coulton, Business Events Manager, Sunshine Coast Convention Bureau

My recent event held at “The Plantation” was a huge success.  The peaceful and simply stunning surroundings made for a delightfully unique experience for the guests and artists alike.

We were very impressed by the accommodation, the food and more than anything, the warm welcome and professional attitudes of all staff – yet we felt like we were in a luxurious country retreat.

Many thanks for a truly delightful stay – we will definitely look forward to coming again.

Mary-Anne Sterling AFMEA, Director, MAS Entertainment

The venue, the setting, the catering, the service, the ambience and the weather all made for a perfect event for our Austbrokers Dinner last Saturday.

The food and service provided by the catering team was perfect. Veronica and David were very professional and a great help on the day. where no request was ever a problem.

The guests that were accommodated for the night thought they were very privileged to stay at such a lovely place.

I thank you for helping me make it all happen and will look forward to working with you again on another event.

Lee-Anne Wilson, Managing Director, Happenings Australia Pty Ltd

Hi Kellie, Scott and Alan
Thanks again for putting on such a fantastic night which I’m sure will be remembered as one of the best networking nights of the year. I had so many people come up to me commenting on what a beautiful venue you have and the catering and organisation of the night was second to none.
It’s a pleasure working with such professional people and I wish you and your staff a fantastic festive season.
Kind regards

Brad Harrison – Industry Liaison Manager, Tourism Noosa Ltd

Everything went very well and the clients were extremely happy and all had a wonderful time. I had the opportunity to go around during the evening and speak to the guests, and many of them equated the wedding as the best wedding they had ever been to (which we tend to get as a common comment) however a particular few made an impression on me as they discussed that they are worldly travellers and have attended many high end overseas weddings in countries such as Italy, France and the UK, and they said that Chelsea & Chris’s Wedding far exceeded those as the absolute best they have ever experienced.

Even the inclement weather didn’t have an impact at all on the wedding and most guests were oblivious to the fact that we had a huge downpour later that evening as they were all having so much fun.

I must thank David & Veronica especially for their professionalism and extremely high level of work & service ethics. Nothing was a problem for them and they were very obliging to every request and last minute changes (and believe me there were many especially due to the weather) and we all had an enjoyable evening working together.

I have worked in many five star international hotels & establishments over the last 20 years and of course with Events of Noosa deal with all the top venues in South East Queensland and I have to say the level of service that we received at The Plantation from Veronica & David was exceptional and second to none. We are very much looking forward to working with them again and having many more Plantation Weddings in the very near future.
Well done and thanks again!!

Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay at The Plantation has been – but I will try!

Relaxing, tranquil, amazing sense of calm upon arrival, service and help from gorgeous Veronica who made us feel so special.  The the WEDDING!

The Venue is unique and our choice was perfect for our daughters wedding.  Special thanks to David for all his help on the night and into the early hours of the morning.  Thank you, sincerely.

I just wanted to thank you so very much for everything you did to make our special day PERFECT.  You really went far and beyond the call of duty.  We really did appreciate it.  I can’t think of one thing we would have done differently.
It was a wonderful occasion, and you played no small part in that.
Thank you so very much,
