Sarah and Ashley 14th March 2009 Melbourne
Thank you for your efforts in organising our wedding reception. The number of compliments I have had about the Vue Grand, the food, the wine - everything. From time to time I hear stories of the difficulties people have in organising their receptions and I am always very happy to rave about my experiences, you didn't ever make me feel like anything was an effort or I was asking too much. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You are excellent in what you do and I know there must be many brides across the state who are as grateful as I am.I have attached a few photos for you to have a look at. Kind regards, Sarah Metcalfe (Vorwerg)
Emma and Simon 31st January 2009 Brisbane
Lauren thank you for all your assistance in making our wedding day the truly magical fairytale that it was. Your attention to detail, support, and professionalism are second to none and I couldn't recommend the Vue Grand more highly. Everything I wished for was created and the day went way beyond my highest expectations. I only wish I could do it again. You really deserve congratulations and please pass on the the same to your brillant staff. Love Emma and Simon

Jane and James 24th Janaury 2009 United Kingdom
We didn't get a chance to thankyou for your help for organising our wedding on Monday when we checked out. James and I both really appreciated your efforts and we had a lovely wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful the dining room looked and how helpful and professional all the staff were. We had an amazing weekend and everyone had a great time at the reception. Thank you all very much. When we get back from our honeymoon we will send you in some photos of the dining room made up and some photos around the Vue Grand. Thanks again. Cheers, Jane and James.
Brooke and David 25th October 2008 Melbourne
David and I would like to thank you and the team at the Vue Grand for the wonderful service and delicious food provided at our wedding on Saturday 25 October 2008. Your attention to detail was incredible, from the setting of the dining room to the personalised menus for our guests with special dietary requirements. Everyone who attended the reception and those who stayed the evening were impressed with the majestic beauty of the Vue Grand and the top quality service provided. John Barty's piano playing set the mood, he was truly wonderful and I can't recommend him enough, he added a touch of class to an already perfect setting. The Chef and staff in your kitchen also need a special thank you - the meals were delicious and enjoyed by all, and your wait staff went over and above our expectations, looking after our guests food and drink requirements. Finally, spending the evening in the Turret room was a gorgeously indulgent way to finish off our perfect day. David and I were so pleased to have decided to spend an extra night to truly appreciate the Turret room and the beautiful views of Queenscliff.
Your hospitality was fantastic, every detail was perfect. Thank you. Brooke & David Bubner
Cindy and Adrian 20th April 2007 Ballarat
THANK YOU just seems not enough to express our gratitude to you and your staff for a wonderful few days. Everything was perfect, just as we (and you)! had planned. Your attention to detail was exemplary, and we were truly treated like King and Queen. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and their trips to Queenscliff, and we have had lots of positive feedback about the venue, the food and the staff. Despite being the rather shy people we are (he he), we relished the attention and felt very spoilt by Dean's contribution to the day as well. He was so much fun, and again, we had a number of comments about our photographer with a sense of humour and who truly engaged in the spirit of the day. We were thrilled to bits to have you participate in our day, Again, we received a number of comments about how nice it was to see the hotel manager 'get her hands dirty'. One thing we should share now that we will remember warmly is being 'farewelled' by you at the front doors as we set sail for our photographs - we thought that was truly lovely and it felt like being farewelled by an old friend - THANK YOU. The only disappointment for us Lauren, is that it has all come to an end and we feel like it has been such an amazing journey, made thoroughly enjoyable by you as the wedding planner and hotel manager. You are truly gifted Lauren, you made us feel very special and made sure our day was everything we had hoped for.
Lisa and Darren Sharp 7th July 2007 Melbourne
A HUGE thank you for all your help on our wedding 'weekend'. You did a great job managing the 'show' (ceremony, reception, guest accommodation) but it was all the little stuff (take-away cup cakes for the guests, allowing us access EVERYWHERE in the hotel for photos, playing our favourite CD's (until the early hours...) It also goes without saying that the food, beverages and service was outstanding as was the atmosphere throughout the afternoon and evening. All in all, it was wonderful to have a true professional 'in charge' on what can be a bit of a stressful day. I would not hesitate in recommending Lauren Smith and the Vue Grand to anyone on their wedding day! We look forward to seeing you in 12 months, though we might come back sooner...
