Wedding fever is upon us…

There may be a little bias behind this month’s blog. Yes, we are getting married next month! Exciting times are ahead, and I thought that it would be a perfect time to write about some of the wonderful companies and wedding suppliers in the area that are making beautiful weddings possible.

The venue

Tiona

Tiona accommodation and its waterfront conference centre are here in Pacific Palms, just 1.5 hours north of Newcastle. The property has beach and lake frontage – perfect for those wedding shots to mark your special day. Tiona is also home to The Green Cathedral, an outdoor church with natural wooden pews enclosed by a beautiful palm forest on the shores of Wallis Lake, in the Booti Booti National Park. The Green Cathedral is peaceful, sacred and special… a naturally stunning location for wedding ceremonies and more.

Pacific Palms Surf Club

Located in Booti Booti National Park the Clubhouse features expansive ocean and coastline views of Elizabeth Beach, Shelly Beach and to Cape Hawke. The function room features a white high curved acoustic ceiling with dimmable lighting and large windows and doors framing extraordinary ocean and bushland views.

Wallis Lake House

Wallis Lake House is a stunning and secluded lake front property situated on 27 tranquil acres. It is extremely private and can accommodate small or large weddings with ease. The property can sleep up to 18 of your guests with nearby accommodation sleeping a further 11. It is also possible to camp on the land. Think festival style weddings, lawn games and an awesome party vibe with no one around to hear you!
