While we love your kids, we've decided to have an adults-only celebration. Thank you for making arrangements.
Should you wish to give us a gift, a wishing well will be available on the day.
The wedding ceremony will be held at St Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church in West Melbourne. The reception will follow at Quat Quatta in Ripponlea. There will be ample travel time to head to Quat Quatta from the church. Please refer to the 'travel' tab for further information on transportation options.
At both the church and reception venue, there are street parking options available in surrounding streets. There is no parking available on-site at either the church or reception venue. Please refer to the 'travel' tab for further information on transportation options.
The dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception is formal, black-tie optional. Please refer to the dress code for each event (included in your RSVP).
For men, a tuxedo can be worn but is not required. A formal dark suit, white shirt, and a conservative tie is preferred. For women, a floor-length gown, fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit.
Our wedding will largely be held indoors. Following the ceremony, photos will be taken outside the church. Ccanapes and drinks will be held outdoors briefly at Quat Quatta followed by the reception held indoors.
Please arrive from 2:30 pm. All guests must be seated by 2:45 pm.
Feel free to take photos and videos from your seat. We have a professional photographer there to capture every moment, so we just ask that you stay seated during the ceremony and keep phones and cameras tucked in rather than reaching into the aisle. We also kindly ask that you remain in your rows as we make our exit. We'd love for our photographer to capture that moment without phones or people in the aisle.
The church ceremony will conclude at approximately 4:00 pm. Following the ceremony, photos will be taken outside the church with family and friends until 4:30 - 4:45 pm.
Please arrive from 5:45 pm. Canapes and drinks will be held in the courtyard at 6:00 pm.
