"… I just wanted to thank you all so very much for the wonderful service we received at our wedding on 5 August 2006. We could not have been happier with our choice to have our reception at Eschol Park House.

As the story goes, my step-sister held her wedding there in 2003, which we both attended. When we got engaged in 2005, we did not have to look at any other venue, we just rang up and booked it with you. We knew that you had everything we wanted in a reception venue from the wedding. And you offered great value for money.

Everyone commented on how good the service was (both drinks and food) and my parents especially liked the MC service, asking them what they wanted to eat and letting them know when their dinner arrived, etc. Small things like that made such a big impression on our family and guests. The room was set up so beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the photos taken on the day.

This was the second family wedding held at EPH, and I have no doubt that my two brothers will choose to have their weddings there when the time comes.

Thank you for running such a fantastic business!

"…I would like to thank you for making our wedding day truly memorable (Saturday 30th September). Your effort, care and attention to detail helped make our day special. Everything was better than I imagined it to be and my 'little requests and instructions' were followed to the letter.

I would like to commend all staff for their assistance, service and friendly personalities on our wedding day. Without all of your help, the day would not have run as smoothly.

We have our wedding video back and some photos and the place looks beautiful.

Thank you once again and I will definitely be recommending Eschol Park House to any Brides to be.

"…I am writing to thank you immensely for the hospitality and professionalism you showed us for our wedding on Sunday 7th May. We have had many great comments about the food and service you gave us all on the day.

A thank you goes to the MC and DJ for doing an excellent job. It was felt that your friendly and expertise staff were an asset to making our day extra special.

I will be highly recommending Eschol Park House to anyone who is looking for a stress free function centre with appetizing food and great service.

Again thank you for making our wedding memorable in so many wonderful ways.

To all involved,
We wish to thank you so much for making bride and groom's wedding a wonderful experience for them and for their parents and guests on February 3. We have just arrived home in New Zealand and couldn't have been happier at the way everything was arranged.

From the beautiful grounds to the elegant reception rooms - it surpassed our expectations. We would also commend you on your staff and particularly the MC who made sure that everything ran smoothly without fuss.

The food was delicious and beautifully cooked and presented while drinks were brought around constantly. Thank you.
As you must realise, we wanted bride's day to be as perfect as we could make it and you had a big hand in that. It is difficult to live across the ditch when an important function is being planned and we left decisions up to bride and groom. Thank you for fulfilling and surpassing our expectations. Yours sincerely,

Thank you for making our wedding day on the 18th August so memorable. From the moment we arrived staff were polite and friendly. The grounds looked amazing as did the reception room. Throughout the night we felt welcomed, the service was fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble for your staff.

Special thanks to your outstanding MC who ensured the night ran smoothly, Joe & John for the assistance pre the wedding day; you allowed the day to be stress free for us.

Thank you so much again, All the best, Joanne & Glen Kirk. 18/08/07

Hi John,

I just wanted to say thanks to you and the employees of Eschol Park House for providing a lovely setting for our wedding and for the great service we received. We had only positive feedback from guests saying that it was a beautiful wedding and the food was delicious.

No doubt that the setting that our ceremony was held in and the fantastic reception room had a lot to do with how people perceived the wedding. We are looking forward to receiving our formal photos which will undoubtedly be beautiful with the house as a back drop. We appreciate the effort of how things were run on the day, especially when we were so preoccupied with mingling, photo taking and just generally overwhelmed with everything.

We will definitely be recommending Eschol Park House to other people.

Regards Suzanna & Troy Bartlett 27/10/07

Dear John (and staff) of Eschol Park House
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the thoroughly professional manner in which we were treated at our wedding and reception at your unique venue on Saturday 9 February 2008.
From the pre planning, top the ceremony itself, to the way the garden room was so beautifully setup for the reception, to the quality and presentation of the food we could not have asked for such a perfect setting in such serene surroundings for our special day.
Never were we pushed, or rushed, never were we made to feel uncomfortable. The entire day was relaxed and full of smiles and laughter due to the smooth running of the proceedings.
Most impressive was the polite, utterly professional manner in which your young waiters and waitresses went about their tasks, always polite and smiling. Nothing was a problem for them. Our guests agreed that it was this efficiency and politeness that made this occasion really stand out for them from other functions they have attended.
Additionally, we would like to offer you an especially heartfelt thank you for looking after the little things for us that made our complete joy, there was nothing we had to worry about; just turn up and enjoy the evening. I know it is your job to do these things, but the way in which you do it, and the way you made us feel so at ease right from our first meeting, is a credit to you.
Many of our guests have since contacted us and commented on what such a memorable and enjoyable wedding it was due to you and your staff. We are so glad that we chose your venue for our wedding and the day will be one we will cherish forever. Thank you again and all the best to you and your staff for the future.
Yours sincerely,
Dale & Belinda Leishman 12/02/08

Dear John,

Geoff & I (Nikki's parents) just wanted to express our "Thanks" once again to you and your family for all that was involved in making our daughters wedding day so wonderful.  Nikki & Justin are of course on Honeymoon in Hawaii. 

Our table was served by Natalie and Nathan and they were excellent. There were other staff but dont know names and they too were very good.   My grandson  Nathan was obviously taken with Natalie especially and her lovely smile and even asked her to dance with him. 

The meal was just lovely. Salmon and asparagus cooked to perfection.  We had people say it was really lovely "wedding food"  compared to what they had had before etc etc.  Oh Boy did we love the Lemon Meringue!

Thought Wayne to be a great MC and loved the music.  What more can I say. 

At the end of the evening Geoff and I had to collect all the bits (candles, easles, flowers, wishing well cards etc etc) and it was made so easy for us as your staff had packed a lot of it up and then even helped us carry it downstairs.

Thankyou all once again.  We would not hesitate to recommend your venue.

Our best wishes
Jean & Geoff Warren

 Dear John,

I would like to say a heart felt thank you to you and all of your staff for making the wedding and reception of my daughter Erica Marshall and her now husband Wayne Ritchie on Saturday April 12th such a beautiful and complete success.

I have to admit I was nervous that everything would proceed exactly as was wanted by Erica and Wayne however as soon as we arrived I felt complete faith that everything had been done to ensure the day would be perfect, and it was.

From the moment I first rang you in a mad panic following the closure of the original reception venue you have been a very relaxing and re assuring person to deal with. In our phone conversation you said you felt you could offer a better deal and better service than we would have received and I honestly feel you more then kept your word. During the night I had many people come to me saying how beautiful the reception centre is and how pleasant and obliging the service has been by you and your staff. The room was set up beautifully plus the MC was extremely good and very co operative as with all your staff on the night.

I know that Erica & Wayne found dealing with you extremely easy and relaxing and that you were very obliging in letting them have what ever they wanted to make their special day just that. As the father of the bride I would like to say a very sincere thank you to all involved in making this special event at Eschol Park House so perfect for us and I will have no hesitation in recommending Eschol Park House to anyone I know who requires a reception centre in the future.

Yours Sincerely

Grant Marshall

Dear John & Staff of Eschol Park House,

A little not to say thank you for all the help you gave to Terry and I with the organisation of our wedding. The assistance you gave to us to make everything run so smoothly was nothing short of brilliant. It has been greatly appreciated. Thank you again for making our special day so wonderful.

Yours sincerely Terry & alexia. (Mr & Mrs Dawson)

Dear John & Staff,

Thank you so much for a truly wonderful reception on the day of our wedding. The evening was a complete success & all of our guests commented on the personal service and the meals. Our MC on the night was excellent – very professional. We will be sure to recommend to anyone we know getting married that Eschol Park House is the place to hold their wedding reception.

Dear John & the EPH team.

Both Jason and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for all of your help and support to make our wedding day the special day it was supposed to be.

Your suggestions from previous experiences at the house were most welcome and very helpful and your flexibility in letting us drop the cake and flowers off late reduced stress levels greatly. Please thank whoever completed our cake decorations that the baker forgot to do (the flowers on top), they did a wonderful job and our cake looked beautiful due to their efforts. Even though I was running late and very flustered due to problems before we got there, you were there to meet the cars with a smile and quickly got us organised and back on track.

Both you and your teams calm and easy manner helped to keep us calm even through the hic-ups that had come along previously.

All of our guests commented on the wonderful food and how lovely Eschol Park House was. The easy manner of the ladies and gentlemen bringing through the drinks and food helped to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which we all enjoyed and appreciated.

Once again thank you to you and your team; you were all wonderful.

Kind regards, Mr & Mrs Jason & Debbi MacDonald.

Dear John,

Thank you for making our wedding reception a beautiful occasion to remember. From the very welcoming canapés and drinks, the stunning look of the Garden Room, the meals, service and ambience were all wonderful. Your staff were friendly but professional; everything was a delight and special thanks to you for all your help and thoughtfulness.

Dear John & the staff of Eschol Park House

Just a short note to say “thank you” for making Peta-Jayne & Adam; special day such a good one.

As a team the staff was amazing. At all times you were polite & caring and took the time to go out of your way to make sure that all the guests were enjoying themselves and that all their needs were being catered for. You were unobtrusive, yet always there and predicting the need and wants of our guests.

John we would like to thank you for your patience, understanding and caring over the last couple of months. You understood that it was going to be a stressful time and you carried more than your fair share of the burden. You catered for all the particular needs of the happy couple and worked towards it being a special day for them at all times. You made the day a truly enjoyable one for all of us.

As the parents of the bride it is a very emotional time and we are very appreciative of the kindness and caring of everyone associated with Eschol Park House. Thank You.

Doug and Alana Ellis. (for Adam & Peta-Jayne Todkill (19/04/08)

John, you are the consummate professional and we will certainly have no hesitation in recommending Eschol Park House to anyone wanting the perfect wedding venue.

Dear John – RE: Wedding of Danielle & Stan 13/06/09

I would just like to say on behalf of my family & everyone who attended what a wonderful night we had. The night was superb in its organisation and everything was perfect from the food, through the master of ceremonies to the music, to the excellent polite service provided by your staff. Eschol Park House is an absolute credit to yourself and your family and we could not have been happier with the way things went. The Queen Victoria Ballroom looked an absolute treat.

The lolly bar was a great success and we were really pleased with the way it was set up. Similarly the photo booth was another unusual item that Danielle had wanted and it too was highly successful. The booth was in the perfect place and I did not even know about it until the night. Thank you for helping with the set up of these two things, which greatly contributed to the success of the evening.

Finally, your venue was extremely great value, but with every aspect of it being of the highest calibre. Danielle and Stan are away on their honeymoon at the moment but have also asked me to pass on their thanks and appreciation for what was a perfect evening. We would have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Eschol Park House to anyone who was looking for the best wedding venue in Sydney.

Kindest Regard – Steve Reid.

John, Thank you for making our wedding day so special. Everything was perfect!! We have had so many comments about how great the food was and the staff being so polite.

Thank you very much.
Scott & Melissa Blayden.

To John & everyone at Eschol Park House,

Thank you all for making our daughter and her husband so happy on the most important day of their lives.
