Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

One of our most memorable weddings was a beautiful autumn celebration, where the couple embraced the natural beauty of our lakes and the stunning views at Lakeview Marquee. The ceremony was held on the island, creating a breathtaking backdrop of nature for their vows. Afterward, guests enjoyed a lavish reception in our Grand Marquee, with personalized décor that reflected the couple’s love story. It was a truly magical day, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments that perfectly captured the essence of their relationship.

We love working with couples to bring their unique vision to life, ensuring every detail is perfect and every moment feels as special as the couple themselves.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Our No.1 wedding planning tip is to prioritize creating moments that reflect your unique love story. It's easy to get caught up in the details, but the most memorable weddings are those where couples truly express who they are. Whether it’s a personalized ceremony location, a meaningful piece of décor, or a special touch in your vows, these personal elements create lasting memories for you and your guests. Focus on what feels right for you as a couple, and let the rest follow naturally – your authenticity will make your day unforgettable!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of the most touching personal touches we’ve seen was when a couple honored their late parents by having a moment of remembrance during the ceremony. They placed a single white rose on an empty chair for each parent, with a heartfelt note that shared the impact they had on their lives. As the couple exchanged vows, the subtle presence of those roses added an intimate, emotional layer to the day. It was a beautiful tribute that brought everyone together in a shared moment of love and remembrance, making the celebration feel even more meaningful. Moments like this remind us that weddings are not just about the beginning of a new chapter, but also about cherishing those who have shaped our journey.
