Yesterday I had the privilege of being the Celebrant & MC at an amazing Wedding at Gracelands! Catie & her team were very organised, professional and friendly. The vibe was elegant, special and intimate. The food was next level! I have been in the Wedding industry for over 16 years and it was the most delicious meal I have eaten at a Wedding. Thank you for a wonderful celebration and I can’t wait to come back to Gracelands in the future.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Gracelands in March 2021. Anouska, Stef & the Gracelands team attention to detail, flexibility and overall enthusiasm was like no other. The way that were all so accommodating to last minute requests and so attentive to each and every single guest was remarkable.
Our family & friends feedback has been coming through thick and fast. EVERYBODY is raving about the delicious, fresh and beautifully presented food, the totally tasty Margaritas and how utterly impressive their ability and dedication to accommodating individual dietary requirements was. The guests whom ate vegan, or were catered for with speciality meals are all still drooling over how utterly incredible their food was.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU so much for creating such an incredible space for our special day
