January – March 2010 brought a flurry of weddings with brides arriving by GT Falcons, FJ Holden’s, trucks, helicopters, with one brave bride arriving by air... by crane. Being lowered to your wedding by crane makes headlines in local paper The Examiner March 7th 2010.... "A Hadspen couple has lifted the standards of wedding arrivals with a spectacular bride entrance..." Trinity and Grant's wedding at Jessen Lodge, Longford, brought out not only the wedding guests but also local residents to see the fun!... I love my job!

Stephen and Catherine with Baffin the dog2009 – 2010 Wedding season is now in full swing in our beautiful Island state, Tasmania!

With spring comes the kaleidoscope of colours, emerald green fields, aqua oceans, brilliant white beaches and a flourish of magnificent blooms. With bookings for weddings, at the majestic Mt Wellington - Hobart, to the picturesque Vineyards of the Tamar Valley, the magnificent Colonial Estates of Strathmore, Quamby and Entally, the pristine beaches of Freycinet, Binalong Bay and Bridport, to the rugged bush land of Cradle Mountain, this year is certainly going to be an exciting one.

As a ‘warm up’ to the season in August I travelled to the freezing Rockies in Canada to officiate at the wedding celebration of a Tasmanian friend Stephen, who married the love of his life Catherine. Forty friends and family from around the globe made the trek to the top of West Wind Pass, near Banff, for an unforgettable celebration of Catty and Steve’s love. Everyone agreeing, the perfect place, truly expressing Catty and Steve for who they are. Another memorable day!

Hannah and Jon‘From the mountain to the Beach’ – A very windy day for sure! The 30-40 knot winds at Friendly Beaches on the East Coast of Tasmania, where Hannah and Jon celebrated their marriage! not that it daunted the bride and groom, but rather enhanced their vibrant personalities. Guests and bridal party all enjoying the magnificence of Freycinet National Park.
