They WON a $20,000 Wedding! 

"Our wedding day was nothing less than an absolute perfect dream come true... thanks to ABIA"

Imagine winning a $20,000 "Cash Prize" with ABIA in the Bride-And-Groom Competition! Well, for one lucky couple - THEY DID!

What was your favourite moment from the Wedding Day?

The ceremony was performed by Tayla’s kindergarten teacher’s Husband Pastor Blanch.

Brayden’s grandfather (a past minister) also performed the ceremony with Pastor Blanch.

It was so heartfelt and incredibly special to be able to make our lifelong commitment with the support of all our family, friends and to be married by two people who mean so much to us.

​

The Reception

Tayla’s Dad sang; In my Daughters Eyes – Martina McBride.

Not a dry eye was in the house.

Our photographer had to put her camera down and wipe away the tears.

Our DJ said after 27 years in the business he has never had a tear and with this, he did.

This was just something so special as Tayla & Brayden both sing Opera and Music Theatre and have all their lives and to have Tayla’s Dad who has never sung a day in his life pull off the most amazing in tune, perfect song with the most beautiful lyrics was just amazing! 

​

What was the general theme of your wedding day?

The theme for our wedding was – rustic vineyard elegance with a touch of classic. Bringing in the vineyard into the venue with the flowers and adding a touch of our favourite colour, Blue. We kept the warm romantic style with the venue in the flower selection and candles – thus Gold was a reoccurring theme which popped up in varying places including our invitation, candy bar, cake, tables, fairy lights.

​

How would you summarise your wedding day?

Our wedding day was nothing less than an absolute perfect dream come true – thanks to our amazing suppliers both found through the ABIA and our own local research. The day ran so smooth and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The suppliers contacted our venue prior to the day to organise everything and the only task we had to do was, turn up and enjoy every moment. The day was full of love and family which travelled from interstate and overseas. We were just so blessed to have the most perfect wedding day ever imagined.
