Jess & Ryan

The day

We recently had the pleasure of hosting the wedding of Jess and Rhys at Wildwood, and it was truly a magical day. The couple exchanged vows at our Valley Lookout overlooking the stunning bush views, surrounded by their closest family and friends, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. Nomad Catering prepared a delicious seasonal menu, that left everyone raving. Jess and Rhys danced the night away with their guests, making unforgettable memories that they will cherish forever. We feel honoured to have been a part of their special day! Congratulations to Jess and Rhys, and we wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.

The Style

Jess & Rhys's wedding, styled by Gypsy Carmen, showcased a timeless and elegant style, with a stunning colour palette of white and burnt orange tones that perfectly complemented the surrounding bush views. The ceremony took place on our valley lookout, with a beautiful flower garden behind them adorned with white roses and orange stunning florals as the backdrop. The reception was held in our elegant dining hall, which was transformed with beautiful table settings featuring our wooden tables and matching the florals from the ceremony along the tables with our sparkling chandeliers and white draping setting the scene.

The use of natural elements such as wood, greenery, and florals tied in perfectly with the venue's surrounding natural beauty, creating a cohesive and seamless look throughout. The addition of candlelight added a romantic and intimate atmosphere, with guests dining and dancing under twinkling lights.

The Review

Wow what a night! This is the place to get hitched. Charlie and her team did everything plus more to ensure the night was a success. The venue was beautifully set up maximising the amazing view it offers. The wildwood house was amazing, with awesome facilities for your bridal party. Although there is no guest accommodation it doesn’t matter, with the town minutes away and a bus to collect everyone it’s a must have option. Cannot thank Charlie enough for the support and care she provided.
