Essence Suites Taringa

We had a wonderful experience with Essence Suites over our wedding weekend. Ashleigh and Christine were so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. The Wedding Preparation Package was absolutely worth it - the space is beautiful, with perfect lighting and plenty of room for the bridal party to get ready, allowing hair and makeup artists to work comfortably. The food was delicious and generously provided, and Ashleigh and Christine were amazing at checking in and looking after us on the morning of the wedding. We stayed both the night before and the night of our wedding, and it was the perfect location close to our venue (Hillstone St Lucia). We also added the romance package, which was such a beautiful and intimate touch. Thank you for making our stay so special!

We stayed at Essence over our wedding weekend and had the most wonderful experience. The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supported – from a thoughtful set up to helping us host a very special family event in the conference space. Special thanks to Ashleigh for being so attentive on the day, to Christine for all your hard work behind the scenes, and the whole team for your kindness and care. You made a busy, emotional weekend feel calm and joyful. We'll always look back on our time at Essence with happiness and gratitude!

The staff here were beyond kind, understanding, and accommodating. They regularly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. They even locked the lift to ensure privacy when we were leaving for the ceremony. Returning to a room filled with roses, candles, and champagne was the perfect romantic ending to our wedding day. Their Romance Package was worth every bit, making Essence Suites the best hotel in the area—especially for those getting married at Boulevard Gardens.
