Venue Testimonials
We want to thank everyone at Mary Mae's for our fantastic wedding reception last weekend! The staff were all superb and welcoming to us and our guests. The view out over the river was lovely and the venue was setup exactly as we had imagined. We opted for a feasting menu, all the dishes were delicious and the portions were perfect.

I had my birthday party organised here and had about 25 guests, including a few children. The venue itself is in a great location and beautifully presented. As for the function, everything was very well organised in advance by their function team. The staff at the venue were very helpful and friendly. Food was really nice and reasonably priced.

Mary Mae's hosted my 30th birthday party. Their service was absolutely exceptional - they went above and beyond for all of my guests and catered beautifully to those guests with dietary requirements. The food was delicious and the space was stunning (spacious, open and beautifully furnished).
