Athol Gardens has won the coveted “Brides Choice Awards” for best Wedding Venue Garden in the Central West.
Karen Somervaille, who established the Athol Gardens business over 10 years ago, said she had no idea that the survey was being undertaken, but was thrilled with the award.
“It shows that Blayney can mix it with the best when it comes to hospitality,” she said.
“This is really a recognition for all our fantastic staff, from caterers Ryan and Cameron Hopkins and their very capable young staff, to Colin Hewitt and Cameron Townsend, who are not only very professional bar staff but also have been fantastic support at every function almost from the start.”
The awards survey the opinions of brides and grooms over the past 18 months. A total of 770 couples contributed their assessment of the best in the wedding businesses from florists and cake decorators to celebrants, photographers and of course the all-important venues.
Athol Gardens topped the voting for best Wedding Venue Garden, taking out first place. Mayfield Gardens near Oberon came a close second with a “Highly Commended” award.
