I would love to get married at the Port Melbourne Yacht Club with the wind in my hair and the sand on my feet! Peter Rowland catering is AMAZING and their venues are just to die for!
My favourite venue would have to be Rippon Lea Estate. It fits perfectly in my garden wedding fantasy – I can picture myself getting married on the perfect manicured lawn, with the grand Rippon Lea mansion in the background and surrounded by the gardens and lake. Not to mention that the reception venue itself is amazing, with the pool area for drinks and the fabulous Peter Rowland food.
