We were very happy with our wedding at Fernz.  We chose to have our ceremony elsewhere but our reception there was great!  The wedding package was excellent value for money, Jill and her team were very helpful, the restaurant was tidy and modern, and the food was simple but delicious (we had the bbq buffet).

We also stayed two nights in their accommodation and it was brilliant being on site with our guests, and not having to worry about them getting home safely after the wedding.
Our guests were impressed with Fernz, and so were we.  We would happily recommend Fernz to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We had our wedding here because it was beautiful and accommodation was on site for guests, they assured us they have down hundreds of weddings and everything would be perfect…it wasn’t! Firstly the food was not what we ordered at all and when raising this I was told I should be happy as we got one extra option. The food that was served was a much cheaper option for them as you could tell by presentation and taste. It made it look very tacky! Some of the staff were very rude and would not serve shots after 10 to anyone and served “vodka and sprite” to people with no vodka in it. The music was all out of time, after walking out the aisle in silence it came on as we were exiting the building and then we were at the bridal table before our music came on after the photos and the first dance song we stood there awkwardly for a few minutes saying yes turn it on while everyone sat in silence looking at us. We purchased 13 disposable cameras for the tables and only 7 were put out and I was told that was all there was in a very rude manner by staff and that my guests must have taken them but in our professional photos before anyone had arrived it showed only one camera per table and 2 on the bridal table! We were told we had the venue until midnight, yet when 11:30 struck we were told to leave. The accommodation was also a let down, we stayed two nights in the “honeymoon suite”, the spa bath wasn’t even working and we had marks on the sheets and the coffee cups were disgusting and had not been washed. I informed them of this when we left and they seemed very blasé about it. This place is beautiful and some staff are nice but you need to have someone checking that everything is as it should be on your day or you will end up disappointed like us.

I was a guest at a wedding in feb at fernz. The venue was nice, but the outdoor area for the ceremony was much too small for the number of people. This was also the area where the buffet dinner was later served, and as they had already set up the buffet tables, it left even less room, some of the guests actually had to stand in the restaurant during their ceremony as there was simply not enough room in the court yard. The restaurant food and service was all very good, and the canapes were fantastic. However, the four star chalet accommodation was in poor condition and quite dated.

Had an absolutely fantastic day at Fernz.  Jill and her team were accommodating and attentive and helped with a seamless planning process.

We had the bbq buffet which was fantastic and so much food!!  Staff were very attentive with getting drinks and answering questions.

Excellent value for money and my guests are still raving about it!

Fernz was an absolutely fantastic venue and ticked all of our boxes.

It was affordable, Jill is lovely and very accommodating, the staff are friendly and well-trained and the venue itself is great. It was great having the option of being able to book lodges for guests to enable the party to last all night, and our guests raved about Fernz after the day, and we had a wonderful experience.

I would highly recommend Fernz to any bride and groom, or other people looking for a function venue - Jill was great to deal with and always on hand and took away all the stress of the day knowing our reception was well looked after!

Thanks Jill and the team, we’re very appreciative and our wedding was a great success.

I was ready for a long hunt for our venue, but after meeting Jill we didn’t bother to look elsewhere. The package deal was the best value for money and there were no hidden costs. Food was awesome (had a bbq buffet) they even catered to one guest that has extreme food allergies.

It was a hot day, late Feb, and they opened the doors no problems.

The only black spot is the lady that runs the accommodation side is a pain to deal with, (“lost” my mothers booking).

Had a wedding a Fernz Conference Centre, one it has NO air con so forget about planning anything in summer, as the owner wont let you open the doors as it upsets people that are staying in the nearby chalets, despite my 70 wedding guests melting in the heat due to the doors closed (which can open???), most uncomfortable and felt disgusting.

The owners attitude to all of my guests was hostile and it was as though customers were a necessary evil of doing business, she was rude, obnoxious and ruined my family’s experience of my wedding.

Food was whipped away as fast as it was put out (buffet) don’t know if they were saving it for another function, the staff were clearing and packing everything down at 2130 even though the function was till 2330, my guests were under the impression it was time to leave due to their attitude and clearing tables and chairs away, and some of them did, most disappointing.

I have worked in hospitality and have done so for 15 years - this was the ultimate pits and I would never recommend anyone to spend their hard earned cash here, let alone the most special day of their life. Don’t waste your money - I should have questioned why her deals were so ‘super special’ !!!

Was a guest at this venue, the venue was new and attractive.  There was space for a small ceremony outside the dining area.  The table setting was really nice, the food was excellent.  The only thing was that the room was a little warm in summer.  I have no idea how much it cost so not sure how to rate ‘Value for money’.

Jill and the Team at Fernz are AMAZING!

I cannot fault them one ounce.

They did everything we asked, including a couple of last minute changes to the seating plans the day of the wedding.

They worked with us to alter the menu to exactly what we wanted, and we enjoyed every step of the process.

It was a seemless process, and completely easy in the process of everything.

The value for money is absolutely priceless, and the only memories we take away are wonderful.  Not a negative point at all.

To have such help is amazing at such a stressful time, and I would completely recommend anyone who wants to get married to go there.
