Vicky + Travis – February 2019

‘You did a truly amazing job. The venue was beautiful. You did so many little things for us.

You were always warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and carried yourself with dignity and respected my bride’s wishes while still having the deft ability to direct her and I when things needed to be a certain way.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

You made our day something we will remember for the rest of our lives.

All of our guests were full of praise for the classiness of the venue, the great food, the quality of the service, and the overall flow of the evening.

Thank you for being so very, very good at what you do. It is rare in this day and age.’

Lauren + Sam – November 2017

‘We got married on the 11th November at Silvestri’s – we already did a little shout out on the Adelaide Weddings Page, but wanted to email direct and thank you all.

The service we received from Silvestri’s was amazing, and the photo’s speak for themselves – the venue is picture perfect.

Thank you for answering my emails so quickly – all 2000 of them lol!  Not all suppliers do that and it made a difference to us.  Thanks again’

‘Thank you so much! You really have been wonderful to correspond with and help plan our dream wedding… i asked you one million questions and you happily answered every one of them without any fuss whatsoever which helped me more than you could ever imagine, so thank you once again!

We also really wanted to pass on our sincerest thank you to John. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and made every effort to ensure that our special day ran as smoothly as possible. John really was one of the biggest reasons why our day was so perfect and we will be forever grateful for the kindness, professionalism and genuine happiness that he so generously showed us
Nothing was ever to much, he was extremely accommodating, friendly and had impeccable organsiation an attention to detail, which from a bride’s point of view… is a great relief. We did not have to worry abut a thing on the day, all the finer details were attended to and it really was just a prefect day. John, you were simply exceptional and the love you show for what you do is truly admirable. Thank you for making our special day even more special by being part of it.

We would also like to say a warm thank you to the staff that worked our wedding, they were all very friendly, warm and professional and the food…. absolutely divine! as well as the gorgeous garden, ballroom and grounds.

Our guests keep telling us that our wedding is the best wedding they have ever been to, not just because of the food, staff and beautiful location… but because of the atmosphere on the day… and that is the greatest thing we could’ve hoped for.

Thank you again John and the Silvestri’s team for making our day so perfect… it really was the wedding of our dreams!

‘We would just like to thank you so much for everything throughout our wedding process!!

Emma you have been nothing but amazing answering every single one of our queries so efficiently!! You have been such a wonderful help in planning our wedding, and we truly appreciate all you’ve done. So Thank you 🙂

The venue it’s self is just more than we could have ever dreamt for. It was the first venue we visited, and did not have one regret 🙂   The garden was just devine, we have had sneak preview of our professional photos and I’m blown away how awesome they look with such a beautiful background behind us.

The ‘Ballroom’ was phenomenal!! Sitting at the bridal table I was just in awe of how perfect everything was!!

A huge thank you to John for his professionalism! He was a huge aspect into our day being so perfect. We had so much faith and trust in John from day 1, and he has been so helpful and fantastic throughout! Words can’t explain how grateful we were to have him help run our day, and make sure all went smoothly.

Also thank you to everyone and anyone else involved. All the waiters/waitresses, chefs, bartenders, and anyone else behind the scenes! They were all fantastic and well presented.

A million Thank you’s!!’

Samantha & Tim – October 2014

I wanted to say thank you so much, and sorry once again that this has come so late. Everything was so amazing, John you were wonderful, you thought of things that we didn’t even think of, and we were so incredibly disorganized but nobody could tell, because you guys made things so smooth and delightful.  Honestly, we have heard so many amazing things about the venue, the food, the service etc. from our guests.

Tim and I were beyond ecstatic, considering we had never seen the place before or met you guys, but we were so impressed with how beautiful everything was, and how the greatest care was given to everything, you are truly one of the most amazing wedding venues we have ever visited, and one of the most delightful people we have liaised with for the wedding, and we are so happy that we decided to have our wedding at Silvestri’s.

I really can’t express enough how much you made our day, you were wonderful and accommodating in every way.

Sarah and Phil – February 2013

‘Thank you so much for your fabulous hospitality on Saturday.  Whilst it was hot for the ceremony, the garden setting was great and the food and service was excellent.  Having had the opportunity of being able to travel to Europe during their summer on a number of occasions, collective countries simply have no idea as to how to keep beer cold – no such issue on Saturday at Silvestri’s’

Celine and Jonathon – December 2012

‘A big thank you to John and the team at Silvestri’s.  Our wedding was just perfect in the Garden.

I honestly think a ceremony could be beautiful there if the whole bridal party were wearing hessian sacks – the garden speaks for itself.’

 

 

Abi & David

Abi and Dave – May 2012

‘Dear John and each one of your dedicated team,

We would like to express our appreciation to you all for your part in making our daughters wedding the delightful occasion that it was.

We all fell in love with the venue at first sight and our search was over almost before it began.

It is a truly beautiful place.  The garden is magnificent.

Your professionalism was evident throughout all of our dealings, from the initial consultation to the final arrangements meeting and you always took time to clarify our questions and understand our wishes.  In all of our interactions you provided solutions to any problems we foresaw.  This was a major contributing factor to a lack of stress for us all in the lead up to the day.

The food and wine were, as anticipated, excellent, and a true highlight.  We felt that the needs of our guests were well catered for.  The service we received on the night was quiet and respectful, yet friendly and personal.  We felt that you and your staff went beyond what we expected.

Overall, the occasion was one which we will remember with joy forever’

The garden and the ballroom are beautifully kept and can not be faulted … it was just perfect!.’
