It was wonderful to finally see the Waterfall Gully wedding we'd dreamed of come to life! We're so happy with the experienced service provided by your team, especially in handling the whims of mother nature. The reception setup was picture perfect and a number of guests gushed that it was the most beautiful wedding they had seen! Our delicious red velvet cake was presented beautifully with berries and cream and the food and wine were excellent also. Much love and thanks to the Utopia team x

I wanted to say thank you to you and your team at Utopia Waterfall Gully for making my special 70th High Tea a memorable occasion. All 21 of us had a marvellous afternoon with lovely food, bubbles and great company and conversation – lots of memories made more special by the service that was provided by your girls and chef. I have truly special memories to look back on for many years to come.
