A fabulous weekend celebration for onwards of my lovely couples at the new Blyth Barn on the Wilderness Reserve. The brief was a luxurious weekend packed with wonderful food, entertainment and personal touches.
With guests arriving on Friday afternoon to a scavenger hunt around the reserve, they were then treated to a delicious lunch and an awards ceremony for the winners. Each guest then checked into their luxury suite, complete with personalised notes from the hosts and decadent welcome bags with fully personalised gifts and hangover remedies to keep them going all weekend! After a delicious afternoon tea and a refresh, the guests were treated to a delicious champagne reception and three course meal. With hand-designed champagne flutes for each guest from Rachael B Design, a gorgeous table scape with Banqueting hire tableware , florals from Dear Luna, Stationery from Silk & Ink and personalised napkins embroidered by Laurel House Designs the table was completely wow! Sorsha Seven sang our diners into dinner which turned into a dance-off as the wine flowed! So much fun.
On the Saturday there was a lazy morning of jacuzzis and delicious breakfasts while everything got ready for their vow renewal. A heart-felt ceremony was delivered by one of the couples best friends and included their two children, making it even more special and personal. The guests toasted our hosts with mini shot bottles of Limoncello then were led upstairs to Sushi, oysters and a champagne reception. The fabulous Gallivants band roamed around keeping spirits high. The incredible Nick Einhorn mingled amongst the guests, blowing everyone’s minds with his close-up magic - honestly I have never worked with such an incredible magician, I always recommend Nick as he is so good! As a grand finale the Gallivants played our guests back downstairs for more music with Brendan Mills. We packed the evening with delicious canapes, beer pong, a sweet table, dancing and a Photo Booth. Our fabulous Photographer Luis captured the whole event as it unfolded.
There was only one way everyone could recover in the morning and that was with a wild swim in the estate lake, followed by Bloody Mary’s and hot bacon rolls! Those guests staying at Blyth were then treated to the swimming pool being raised for some outside swimming, spa treatments and a bit of R&R. Once everyone was rested and refreshed a big family style roast dinner followed, making it the perfect Sunday afternoon. The evening was then movie night with a fire pit and smores. Ready for their final night before all heading home after a jam-packed weekend.
