McGuigan House.
Meg and Luke wanted a venue that offered a country feel with enough space to host almost 300 people on the guestlist. With multiple areas to create a unique and memorable experience for their guests… Mcguigan house offered that perfectly.
“We loved how close the property was to nearby accommodation for all our guests, and it was easy to bus them all in and out for the wedding.
The grand, vineyard-lined driveway created a stunning first impression, making guests feel they had truly arrived at a wedding set in the heart of the Hunter Valley.”
CEREMONY
“We opted for an outdoor ceremony amidst the lush garden and expansive lawn, a setting that perfectly embodies the essence of the Hunter Valley. We particularly adored the location, framed by a picturesque tree line, with the majestic Brokenback mountain ranges providing a stunning natural backdrop. The elegant country setting was truly captivating.”
RECEPTION
“We created the ultimate wedding reception space within a beautiful marquee set on the main lawn. We were able to fully style and design the perfect intimate space within the marquee for our guest to enjoy a night of celebration.
We loved being able to set up an Aperol Spritz bar in the conservatory and courtyard, and the private gardens provided the perfect spot for our photo shoot. The cozy sitting areas, with live music playing in the background, created an intimate atmosphere.
Our favourite part of the night was the surprise venue – a hidden after party marquee that was located on the tennis court. We created an exciting experience for our guests with a 7-piece roaming band appearing after speeches and taking everyone from the reception to the after party where more entertainment was ready to keep the party going! The marquee was styled like a disco cowboy bar, with cowboy hats and disco balls, mirror chandeliers made from silver tinsel and neon signs everywhere.”
DETAILS
“Our planners, stylists and florists nailed the brief! Natural Elegance.
We allowed the natural surroundings to take centre stage in an understated and elegant styling concept, complimented by the soft colour palette of greens, whites, and blush. We mixed a range of foliage, greenery and wildflower nests at key locations to create beautiful moments of style and design.
It truly was an amazing experience, and all of our guest enjoyed discovering each of the spaces as they moved through the property and gardens.”
