A Real Wedding at Coombe Yarra Valley: Veronica & Ryan's "Us, Their Way" Celebration
Every great wedding starts with a great story, and Veronica and Ryan's is one made for retelling. Back in 2015, Ryan did what a lot of people were quietly doing on Facebook - he sent a friend request to someone he liked the look of. Veronica said yes, and not long after, she said yes again, this time to a date at Siglo.
Sarah & Jean Paul: An Intimate Sunday Wedding at Recoleta
Most couples default to a Saturday without ever really asking why. Sarah and Jean Paul didn't. They chose a Sunday afternoon, and it changed the entire mood of the day. There was no rush to beat traffic to a reception, no sense of a wedding wedged between other people's plans. Guests arrived relaxed, already halfway into weekend mode, and stayed relaxed. The light through Recoleta's upstairs windows had that soft, low, end-of-weekend quality that no amount of styling can fake.
As a Celebrant and MC I've married a lot of couples that felt like they were racing the clock. This one didn't race anything.

Michael and Maria were married in the summer of 2021 at the beautiful Stones of the Yarra Valley in Victoria. As soon as they enquired with me I knew I wanted to marry them, and it was an utter delight from start to finish.
Alice & Pippa's Zonzo Estate Wedding | A Romantic Yarra Valley Celebration
Alice and Pip’s story starts as friends… then colleagues… then lovers… and now wives (and mums!).
They met when Pip was in London for work, before she was transferred to work from there at the same office that Alice was in. They fell in love over time, and before they knew it, they realised they’d met the big love of their life.
Shenay and Joe’s beautiful Recoleta Wedding, Melbourne CBD.
Shenay and Joe took a slightly different approach to the traditional wedding day structure, and it worked beautifully. Just 31 guests joined them for the ceremony and lunch, keeping things close, personal, and warm. Then, later in the day, they opened the doors at Higher Ground for a post-wedding celebration - a cocktail party for 160 guests who came to toast the newlyweds in style.
