“It was beautiful to be surrounded by the noise of the birds and the rustle of the leaves in the wind.”

“We chose Koondrook Retreat as it felt like the perfect venue. It only recently opened and we were their first wedding party. Wanting a winter wedding and loving the outdoors, it just made sense. There are six glamping tents surrounded by forest and a creek as well as the river. We booked the whole place for 2 nights.”

“We did it all! For flowers, we used random bunches of flowers that I had ordered the week before. Bright and colourful. I collected a heap of random vessels and set my table. No bouquets for me or the girls.A couple of rustic trestle tables a bunch of wooden chairs that we had in our shed (still do) and random rugs we picked up at second-hand shops. We curated our day.”
