Describe the best wedding that happened at The Source, Otways?
The best wedding was our own. Just our children, closest friends, the celebrant and photographer. The ceremony was right in the Garden in front of the Homestead, with gorgeous wedding photos in the magnificent forest and the farm. A blissful, relaxed and joyous day.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Keep it simple! Remember that it is about you two, and your votes to each other. Skip the stress of a large and showy wedding and plan something that is just about you two, surrounded by your absolutely nearest and dearest. It will be fabulous, relaxed, joyous, and most importantly genuine.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Involving your pet/children. And we love the ancient practice of "tying the knot" (a Hand Fasting Ceremony).
