Thank very much, Jess is a star and we love Miguel too, he looked after us so well. Can’t wait to use you for another event. Sincerely appreciate all you guys did, everyone was really pleased.
- Primavera Selections, August 2024
Thanks Guys, I really need to call out Miguel – what an absolutely brilliant asset to you company. Having looked after us the week before he proactively remembered that my bosses boss (the most senior person in attendance) only drinks vodka (which I had forgotten to flag) he had already remembered and prepared for. He was so approachable and warm. He went and got our banners from the office, allowed us to move the room around and the set up last minute of the microphone was so good. THANK YOU!!
- Judo Bank, August 2024
Hi Maggie & Sara, Thanks so much - we had the best time at our wedding! The venue was wonderful and our guests absolutely loved it. We feel very lucky that it all went so smoothly. We appreciate all of your help and attention to detail.
- Gabe & Rachel, July 2024
Hi Sara, We wanted to shoot you a quick message and just say a massive THANK YOU to you and to the wonderful staff that was taking care of us yesterday. We could not be any happier having Recoleta as our venue. The ambience was perfect and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious - all our guests raved about it. The lovely waiters that were working on our reception were nothing short of outstanding; they were so friendly and helpful and extremely observant and attentive (most of the times when they offered me another drink, I didn't even notice I finished my previous one!). And last but not least, thank you so much for your work over the last months. Having your experience and help made planning the reception a genuine pleasure. We're so happy that we found Recoleta and got to work with you. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful.

Hey Maggie and Sara, It was an absolute dream. I felt like I blinked and the whole night was over. The food was phenomenal and the champagne, the champagne was bloody amazing! Everyone complimented the pinot. The staff and in particular the organiser, I’m sorry I can’t remember her name, but she was a gem. She met us downstairs and gave us the heads up people were missing. She ran around all night and nothing was a bother. She was just beautiful. All the staff were super attentive and wonderful. Thank you so much for creating a beautiful and memorable space.

We all had an amazing time!! I can't thank your staff enough, they went above and beyond to help me on Saturday. I was a bit stressed as I was running late and was pressed for time to set up and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The service was also amazing and very attentive, always topping up drinks, offering to take photos on our disposable cameras and catering to our needs. Thankyou for a great day!

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Sara and the team for bringing this event together in a short space of time. The staff we had on the night were PHENOMENAL - all my guests could not stop complimenting how wonderful and kind they were! I still can't stop thinking about how beautiful the night was and I am so glad I was able to throw this event. The food/wine/space/staff and everything exceeded my expectations and it was such a highlight. The hospitality was simply unmatched and I have not experienced anything like this before - please extend my gratitude and thanks to the team, they deserve to be commended for all their efforts! To think that it was all put together in less than a week blew my mind - thank you so much for your flexibility and attentiveness with my disorganisation! I was in Melbourne for the shortest time and the stars aligned with Recoleta being available! Thank you so much again - I am eternally grateful and cannot recommend the team and your services enough to all my friends and family for future events. Wishing you and the team all the best over the holidays - I know it is a busy time for you all and hope everyone stays safe!

- Riverlee, July 2022
Hi Jess Thank you so much for my lovely little gift on Monday evening. I am saving it to enjoy back home over the weekend, we depart Melbourne today. It was a successful week of conferencing complimented with delicious dinners each evening. All the staff were amazing, very attentive and professional and nice to see familiar faces over the 3 nights. Our group really enjoyed each venue, they all had their quirks and intimate surrounds – I think my favourite was The Tea Room, closely followed by French Saloon and Recoleta. Thank you again and I will definitely be in contact when we are next in Melbourne to organise some more dinners! Enjoy the rest of your week.
- Raytheon, June 2022
Hi Jess, I just wanted to let you know we were thrilled with Recoleta on Friday night. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was incredible. The cake was divine- I couldn't get over how beautiful it was, and it tasted absolutely delicious. The stars of the night were definitely your staff. They were incredibly attentive, so friendly and warm, and so on the ball. Incredibly impressive. Amanda, particularly, had everything under control. She followed up the outdating setting list she was given, and made sure everyone was seated in the correct place. And, I'm not sure who wrapped the flowers at the end, but I actually asked them if they had worked in a florist, because our guest went home with the most beautifully wrapped flowers. The music was great, even the temperature was perfect. Honestly, we wouldn't have changed a single thing- it was absolute perfection.
- Jayde & D, March 2022
Hi Jess and Sara We and our guests had a wonderful time last night! The food was amazing. The staff and service were excellent. Well done, we were delighted with how it went. Many thanks!
- Mark, March 2022
Hi Jess, Thank you for having us. It was a wonderful night, all our guests had such high praise for the venue and staff who looked after us on the night. We are so so grateful for all the hard work and extra care Spring Street Events put into our wedding to make it so special. Thanks again Jess!
- Rachael & Shehan, February 2022
Hi Sara, I would just like to say thank you very much, you have been a pleasure to work with. The day went on smoothly and according to plan.

- Dens & Kay, February 2022
Hi Jess, Everything turned out better than I anticipated. It was perfect! Food, drinks and top notch service was amazing! Compliments to the chef and team, Izzy and Tiago, florists and you for making it all happen despite the last minute booking.
- Eureka & Andre, February 2022
Hi Sara, We had such an amazing time on Saturday and we are so appreciative of you and your amazing staff. Everyone was blown away by the quality and quantity of food and beverage - everything was so delicious. The wait staff were incredibly attentive and took care of everything, we honestly have no complaints. We were so thrilled when we walked up the stairs and saw how beautiful the space looked. We can’t thank you enough. Please pass on our thanks to all the beautiful wait staff who did such an incredible job and helped make our night seamless and so enjoyable.
- Lucy and Marc, February 2022
Hello Sara! Thanks for your email and patience, we've been eating and drinking our way through regional and rural Victoria. Thank you so much, and for being a warm and patient absolute professional in the planning phase and particularly when I started to fray at the edges in the lead up! We and our guests had the absolute best time. The food was incredible, the wait staff hit just the right balance and were so sweet with us and our guests, all the beverages spot on. I keep saying I want to do it all again and acttually enjoy all the food and beverages as a guest! One thing I regret is not being able able speak to the chef and kitchen staff and thank them personally for their delicious work and the care they took with additional requests like the fruit platters. We are just so chuffed with the way everything turned out and our interstate guests were treated to some of Melbourne's finest. Can you please extend our thanks to them, and let me know their names as when we are next down we will pop into Butcher's Diner and thank them personally. Paul recalls seeing you and waving on the day, my sincere apologies if I did not, I was fairly overwhelmed by the torrential downpour (we actually got stuck in the building we were in as the foyer flooded - total debacle!), being later than we had planned, not being able to take pictures as planned, not even sure I had my dress on right and my friend had to put my veil on as I almost forgot it 😅 All of this was very entertaining by the time we got to SC and saw everyone with a glass in hand, and all the stress started melting away instantly! Thank you once again to each and every person who was working that day who helped make it the sheer delight it was. We loved every second. Thanks for the receipts - it looks like the cocktails were a hit! Thank you once again for all your efforts and catering to a really broad range of requests. It really was a most excellent and memorable day.
- Nadine & Paul, January 2022
Dear Sara, We were very pleased with the luncheon. The food was delicious and service very good. We will certainly be making only positive comments about our experience at Recoleta.

Dear Jess and team I just wanted to share my warmest thanks to you and all the staff for such a magical event on Saturday. Lucy, Sophie and Thiago were super professional, efficient and slick! Huge shout out to Steve for a fabulous lunch. The carrots, tuna and beef were outstanding and my favourites, but to be honest, everyone just raved about all the dishes. Please thank Steve for a superb spread. Lastly thank you to Claire for the gorgeous floral arrangements. The selection was just perfect and caught the eye and compliment of many of the guests.
