The Refectory looked beautiful and was the perfect venue for the cooler weather. The HostCo staff were attentive and our wedding specialist, Tran, was accomodating during the period of changing social distancing restrictions. The Refectory and broader USYD grounds provided so many photo opportunities. Thank you Tran and HostCo for making our day so special and personal.
