Everyone raved about the wedding & it was so good Michelle wants to do it again! We may be back again in 12 months or so for a 50th & 40th if you will have us lol! We have recommended the Decoy to everyone we know who is getting married, all the best."- Mark & Michelle Stephenson - 29th September 2007

"The venue has a fantastic ambience, beautiful boat. Bar staff were very friendly & very quick!

I felt like a Princess, thank you." - Narelle & Raymond Jesen - Saturday 30th June 2007

"Both Dave & myself rate our whole experience with the Decoy from start to finish 10/10. It was such a memorable evening. I have even had feedback from our videographer who joined us for the cruise that this was one of the 'happiest & fun' weddings he has worked at for a long time. All I can say is thank you Leanne and all involved. You have an amazing network of people that you work with to make a special day like this flawless. I was determined not to be a 'crazy stressed bride' & just had the time of my life & let the experts do what they do best. After traveling from California with friends & of course Dave, it was just the perfect venue to show my international guests, but also my local family & friends - just what a beautiful place it is that I call home. It was such a great party. We are already talking about doing it again for an anniversary party in the future." - Kaye & David Morris - 22nd April 2007

"I am writing to say a big thank you - as the Mother of the Bride at a recent wedding - Jane Oliver. The experience we had on the Decoy was a really beautiful one. I hadn't been too keen on the idea I must admit as I have had motion sickness in the past. However, the decorations, flowers, food, service, very pleasant staff & crew, DJ & actual trip on the river, lights, sights & seagulls! were all part of an exhilarating & delightful reception. Thank you for being so pleasant to the children & making their experience special too. Our guests enjoyed your sumptuous food! I will be singing your praises anytime weddings come up, so once again accept my heartfelt thanks to each & every person concerned with making this occasion so satisfying." - J. Thorpe (M.O.B) - 20th April 2007
