GREENHILL at Figtree offers a bridal couple the ultimate in wedding reception style and service.
Each couple on the day has exclusive use of the property where they and their guests can enjoy the day in secluded privacy.
The historic building and award-winning 4ha garden offers a range of locations for a private ceremony and beautiful bridal photographs.
``Guests love the fact that over the years Greenhill has welcomed such famous names at Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Gough Whitlam and Sir Robert Menzies," wedding co-ordinator Glenys Graham said.
Guests have the opportunity to wander through the house and its spacious enclosed verandahs overlooking the magnificent garden.
Greenhill offers elegant cocktail-party receptions, with caterer Jenny Mason providing excellent food with detailed attention.
``The distinct advantage of cocktail-style receptions over the more formal sit-down wedding is that they allow guests to mingle while enjoying first-class food and wine," Ms Mason said.
``Hearty appetites are not disadvantaged because our staff ensure there is a constant stream of delicacies moving around the room."
The exclusive usage of the property also lends itself to more flexibility without timing restrictions applied by conventional function centres.
Greenhill caters for weddings from 60 to 120 guests.
A big plus for the bridal couple is they can choose to remain at Greenhill on their wedding night to enjoy four-and-a-half-star accommodation which includes a sumptuous wedding breakfast and late check-out.
For more information phone Ms Graham on 42711120.
