Testimonials

We got married at the Observatory in July 2022 (and were their first full wedding) and the whole experience was an absolute delight from start to finish. Natasha was so helpful in every aspect of the planning and running on the day - so organised, but also reassuring and calming every time we were panicking about suppliers or external things not going quite to plan! We hired an astronomer to do stargazing in the evening which our guests loved. All the science activities kept all the kids happy all day long! It’s just the most unique, amazing wedding venue and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Kaela & Ross

Our wedding at the Observatory was a day to remember! From the day of booking, to clearing up the day after, communication was fantastic and organised every step of the way. Natasha was a pleasure to work with too. She so approachable, relaxed and accommodating. She had very useful suggestions and ideas that made the whole experience so much fun. Thank you so much!
