Howard Vineyard — Restaurant in Nairne

We honestly cannot even begin to thank Kelly and the team at Howard Vineyard enough for making our wedding THE most amazing day of our lives. Kelly and the team went above and beyond in every single aspect to ensure we had the absolute PERFECT day. From the very moment we walked into Howard’s Vineyard to view the venue as a possible wedding location, we were greeted with nothing but smiling and welcoming faces/people. It instantly warmed our hearts. Every single person we have dealt with at Howard’s has been amazing (and let me tell you, we have been there on many occasions!).

The vineyard and grounds themselves are absolutely breathtaking. We looked at a number of venues and from the second we walked into Howard’s lush green space; we were in awe – speechless. Every little bit of the venue is manicured to perfection (not just on wedding days, but every single time we have been there). It is THE most stunning and well-kept venue – alongside it being such a convenient location. The team… where to even begin. Kelly, Sherida and the team are something that words just can’t explain. I would hate to count the number of emails that went back and forth between myself and Kelly, but not once did I feel that I was being annoying or bothering them. Kelly and team went above and beyond in EVERY single aspect (and I will be the first to admit I am a very fussy and pedantic person). From helping with the flower dudes (aged 3), to helping my Dad super glue his shoe just before going down the aisle, to bringing me my lipstick to me throughout the photos, from getting driven to locations for sunset pics to ensure we got the best shots, ensuring we never had a drink that was less than ¾ full and so so so much more.

No review in the world is going to be able to express how much we loved working with Kelly and the team at Howard Vineyard. I know that people say there is no such thing as perfect, but our wedding day at Howard Vineyard was nothing but perfection, you can ask myself, my husband, our families AND the 80 guests – we have had nothing but praises about the venue. If you are looking for your perfect location, please please please go meet Kelly and the Howard Vineyard Team – you will not regret it. From the bottom of our heart – THANK YOU. We are already planning our next trip back. Love Mr and...

To the Howard Vineyard Team,

My friends and I were so incredibly impressed with the Rose and Dumpling event on the weekend. We booked a veranda VIP ticket for Saturday (27/01/24) and all 3 of us commented, multiple times throughout the day, about how well organised it was, how everything had been considered, there was nothing we could think of that had been forgotten, and how it was so obvious what a great team you all make! The event was beautifully set up, incredibly well staffed, and everyone was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, especially Deb Light. The food was delicious and my god, there was so much of it! We absolutely did not go hungry to the point we actually had a voucher or two left over (and we pride ourselves on not being dumpling-quitters but alas, we were beaten).

It was so well organised and I’ve reflected on that several times over the weekend and wanted to take the time to say thank you. I have already recommended the event to a number of my friends and we are super keen to come again next year. You should be proud of the weekend because you did an amazing job and your efforts were absolutely noticed and, most importantly, appreciated.

Thank you again for an...

After visiting many wedding venues we were blown away by the initial consultation with the team at Howard Vineyard. The venue is genuinely stunning, but the service we received from the organisers was the show stopper.

The level of detail, professional insight, communication, timeliness and organisation was second to none. We loved the broad range of food choices, the wine was fantastic and the drinks packages were extensive.

On the wedding day itself, we experienced clear communication, all requests were accommodated with ease, and the event execution was flawless. ALL of our guests commented on the friendliness and service of the staff. The venue looked incredible, and the food and drink were generous.

This was very significant to us: Start to finish, we felt we were in competent and safe hands. Totally stress free event from a venue, set up and catering perspective.

We couldn't recommend Howard Vineyard enough for...
