Subject: Our Wedding
Our wedding was held at the Darling St Chapel in Oct 2011. Our wedding was
organised
from interstate and at no point were we stressed or concerned
about our big day.
Dave made the entire process stress and worry free.
The
chapel could not have been more perfect and it was all we wished for and more.
Many thanks Dave and staff.

"David and his Wife provided an amazing experience, with more support
and understanding than most were able to offer the bride to be. Followed
up by great food an amazing atmosphere and cool, calm decision making
the day and night came off all but perfectly - even the hiccups were
taken in stride and nothing ever seemed to be an immovable object, it is
with our whole hearts that we thank them for all their effort and
expertise during such a stressful time.
A Happy husband - for now".
Cheers,
Chris Kirkby.
We wanted to say a big thank you for making our wedding day so
special. It was great not to worry about anything you really did
look after everything on the day.
The venue was just perfect for what we wanted for our special day
and we had only positive feedback from our family and friends on the
venue and the beautiful food. It was just fantastic.
Thank you again,
Matthew and Rachel Wilks.

I have had so many
people comment on the quality of the food and how smoothly the whole
day ran, you know what we were going thru the week before and you
just made it so much easier for us. I will definately be
recommending you guys to other people, everyone had a great time
from the ceremony right through until we left
Tracie & Liam Wicks October 2008

how beautiful and intimate the Centre is. It was wonderful!!! Thanks
again.
Jocelyn & Damien Rimland September 2008
We had both our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Darling Street
Centre and it was perfect! Dave and Ally made everything go so
smoothly and everything looked beautiful
The food was delicious! It was some of the best food I have tasted
out anywhere. We had the buffet menu and so many of our guests
commented on how good it was. it was definately the day of my dreams
and it was perfect

I can tell you right now that our wedding was the best day of our
lives and a big part of this happening is due to Dave & Ali’s
contributions to ensuring our day was perfect. We received so many
compliments from our guests on how different and intimate the venue
is. We were both so happy and the food was divine. The added bonus
of being able to purchase your own alcohol left more room in our
budget to spend a little more on other things. I can’t think of a
better place in Ipswich to get married.
You guys are the best
Michael & Kirsten O'Connor Nov 2007
We celebrated our Christmas party with our staff and families and
all 66 of our guests rated it our best ever. The venue was a 5 star
rating and the quality of the food was fabulous and for the price is
the best value for money I have seen anywhere in Ipswich or
Brisbane. We already booked again for next year.

Everything was absolutely beautiful. You did such an amazing job
with the the food everyone had plenty to eat and the bar kept
everyone’s glasses full. The meal and nibbles were delicious. I am
still amazed how you guys set up the reception from the ceremony in
such a short time and it all looked perfect. We will definately
recommend the Darling St Centre to other couples.
Alex & Deanne Kertesz September 2007
We were so happy we decided on the Darling St Centre for our wedding
day. The venue was truly beautiful, the food was fantastic and I
highly recommend it.
Beth & Geoff Reynoldson July 2007
Everything was beautiful. The unique church setting made for a
elegant setting for our wedding. Our guests continually commented on
the quality of the food and how they enjoyed the night. The BYO
alcohol option provided substantial savings and was well within our
budget.
Jeff & Alison Francis Oct 2007
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Not many of our guests
had heard of the Darling St Centre before our wedding. Yet all
commented on how perfect everything was from the church setting for
our ceremony to the food and even the music at the reception We have
no hesitation in recommending the venue to anyone.
