- RRachael & James13/11/2024We will never forget this dayWe will never forget this dayThe Tipis and grounds are absolutely beautiful and we loved that we had full range to create and design the total look of the day. The chance to design/DIY our day was super important to us and the venue made this completely possible. It helped us really project our personalities across with all of our homemade displays, signs, lawn games and plants to finish an already beautiful canvas. We will never forget this day.
