An Epic Riverside Celebration

Pop over to Hello May Magazine for the full scoop!

 

A decade, a toddler and a Spoodle into their relationship and it was time to tie the knot. Lucy and Damien fantasised about a glamorous far off elopement before they settled on the lovely seaside town of Yamba to celebrate their wedding. It was after all part of the fabric of their story; the town where they met and the town where they were engaged, so the perfect locale to wed.

 

At a picturesque spot on the river, the quirky Riverside Ranch was the winning venue and with the help of talented Sarah from Ivy & Co they created a blissful relaxed Tipi style celebration. Food was a really important factor for them so we designed a delicious menu for the day, with food moments that were sprinkled throughout the celebration.
