The Refectory Werribee Park

We had our wedding ceremony in the Good Shepherd Chapel and reception in the Rosina room and honestly, everything was perfect and a dream come true. From initial enquiry a year ago through to on the day, we received excellent service from the team at Bursaria. Our guests have raved about the food and general ambience of the event. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose the Abbotsford convent for our special day. Thank you Haylee and the Bursaria team, Emily and Alex x

We had our wedding last week at The Refectory in Werribee Park, and it went by so smoothly thanks to all the incredible staff & vendors. First of all, the venue is absolutely stunning surrounded by lush greenery & colourful flower garden, while having the Werribee Mansion as the backdrop. The team at The Refectory Werribee Park by Bursaria have been super patient, kind & helpful despite us asking countless number of questions, and having many requests. They really helped us have a huge peace of mind when wedding planning can be quite stressful at times. We had so many positive feedback from our guests regarding the standard of service on the wedding day. Everyone was very attentive and made sure all our guests were very well taken care of. And the food!! We were blown away by the qualify of food at the food tasting night, it was difficult to pick between the various options. Which is exactly why instead of having one entree, we opted for two! I would highly recommend The Refectory by Bursaria to any future couples who are after a stunning garden ceremony venue with indoor reception that caters for a smaller guest capacity, as it was perfect for our 85 guest wedding. The team are very flexible, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process. Special shout out to Ebony & Riley for being incredibly helpful especially toward the wedding date!!

We attended the Parlour Cafe on a Friday for high tea. I was an absolute delight, the atmosphere is lovely as you are surrounded by beautiful gardens. The staff were super friendly and they catered for myself as a vegetarian and my partner as a non vegetarian. Everything was lovely to the coffee, chai, sandwiches, homemade scones and cream to a delicious array of sweet treats. After we spent a few hours wandering the grounds and amazing rose gardens. Highly recommend

Bursaria were amazing. Our wedding was held in their new venue the Refectory, and we could not have hoped for a more beautiful venue. The French provincial classic styling, mixed with modern accents, along with the breathtaking grounds of Werribee mansion, ensured our guests were wowed from the get go!! The food was next level. And with a hatted chef in the family, we have high standards!!!! Their lamb and carrot dish was just superb... And the desserts were outstanding, fairy floss, rose petals, every girls dream! All my friends are still talking about the amazing food. Very hard not to gush about every aspect as Bursaria and their team worked so hard to give us the most beautiful wedding and we are still on a high from it! We would absolutely recommend them to any newly engaged and believe any event would be incredible there! Xx

We had our wedding at Abbotsford convent with Bursaria and it was truly magical! The team were magnificent, organised and super friendly. The food was delicious and there was a huge variety! Bronwyn specifically made us feel at ease and as if no job was too difficult! She went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. Thank you so much for a day we will never forget!

I've experienced the professionalism and great service from the team at Bursaria at weddings and at parties. Their food is fresh and fashionable and their home made lemonade is yum. The service is consistent and friendly. I'd recommend this business to anyone looking to host a party/wedding in a beautiful romantic setting in or outdoors! Excellent work Bursaria and team!

My husband and I got married at Abbotsford Convent a few weeks ago. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how great the food and service was. Our only wish was for the night to go longer!
