RACV Healesville Country Club & Resort has been chosen by Victorian newlyweds as the top venue for club receptions at the 2023 Victorian ABIA Wedding Industry Awards.
The combination of breathtaking views, five-star service and impressive facilities were just some of the reasons this Yarra Valley venue took out the top spot.
In its 25th year, the ABIA Wedding Industry Awards are Australia’s most credible wedding industry awards, and all businesses must achieve a minimum customer satisfaction rating above 95 per cent to even qualify as a finalist.
RACV Executive General Manager Leisure Craig Peachey said he was proud of the work the RACV Resort and Clubs teams did to deliver exceptional wedding experiences.
“It’s heartwarming to see our teams recognised by over 7,200 newlyweds who were invited to vote in this year’s Awards,” Mr Peachey said.
“We are privileged to share these memorable events with members, customers, and guests and we thank them for their support.”
RACV Healesville Country Club & Resort Sales Director Kylie Shorter said her memorable marriage moments all involved their animals.
“I’ll never forget kangaroos hopping through the ‘I do’ part of the ceremony, two llamas as part of a ceremony dressed as a bride and groom or the peregrine falcon who stunned itself on the glass right before the bride was due to walk out,” she said.
“It then spent the next 20 minutes under my suit jacket.”
