  • Wedding Reception | 20 November 2010 | Fay & Justin | The Pavilion, Domain, Sydney

    Sydney turned on an absolutely glorious day for Fay and Justin’s wedding. A beautiful ceremony at St George Orthodox Church in Rose Bay followed by a lovely reception at the stunning Pavilion Restaurant (now known as Terrace On The Domain) in the Domain to celebrate the deep love these two wonderful individuals have for each other.

    Fay and Justin live and work in Canberra. They met at work some two years ago and as Justin had proposed to Fay at Lady Macquarie’s Chair in July of last year, it was very fitting that their reception was held at The Pavilion.

    On arrival the 85 invited guests, many who had travelled from Greece, United States, United Kingdom, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT to help Fay and Justin celebrate their love, were treated to refreshments and canapés in the Pavilion Courtyard, whilst enjoying views of the city skyline, Art Gallery, Botanical Gardens and The Domain.

    I must mention that the Pavilion was expertly decorated, not overstated, but eluding elegance and sophistication. Some special touches were the wedding photographs of both parents as guests entered the Restaurant and the provision of a Photo Booth















    Soon afterwards, with great applause, we welcomed Fay’s parents, Harry and Kay, Justin’s parents, Greg and Wanda, Best Man & Maid of Honour, Jonny and Penny followed by the stars of the day, the newly-weds – Fay and Justin! The cutting of the cake, some champagne and the chance for some photographs with their guests before a delicious entrée was served.





    It was now time for the speeches, first up was Fay’s dad Harry who welcomed all the guests who had travelled from around the world and interstate, expressed his happiness and promised both Fay and Justin that they would always be there for them. Harry concluded by introducing a special message from Fay’s 90 year old grandfather. Justin’s dad, Greg was next also thanking all those who had travelled from afar. He conveyed his joy of now having Fay as a member of the Hooper family and also detailed how proud he and Wanda were of Justin, his choice of bride and all that he had achieved in life.

    Best Man Jonny, grew up in the same street as Justin and he and Justin have been best friends since kindergarten, was next to speak recalling some childhood stories and spoke of how Fay and Justin’s relationship had developed.

    Last but not least we heard from Justin, who was feeling very nervous and was at times overcome with emotion, commencing by expressing how lovely it was to be surrounded by the people that meant the most to both Fay and himself, he then became overcome with emotion, needing to pause for a moment to regain his composure when speaking of his Nan, who unfortunately due to age, was unable to be in attendance, and his grandpa who had passed away. When it came to thanking his parents, Justin once again became a little emotional – it was obvious the impact that these people have had on Justin’s life and how much he cared for them. Justin concluded by thanking and complimenting Fay and described how he felt when he saw Fay walking down the aisle earlier that afternoon – it was a vision he will treasure always. A lovely heartfelt speech which touched all those in attendance.

    A delectable main meal was enjoyed by all before it was time for Fay and Justin’s first dance – a very beautiful moment for both of them. You need only look at the photograph below and how they are looking into each others eyes to see that they are so very much in love.

    Fay then danced with her father and a few verses later was joined by Justin and his Mum. It was then time for everybody to let their hair down and dance the night away. With a variety of classics, contemporary and Greek selections, a wonderful evening was had by all. Those that needed to catch their breath, did so at the Photo Booth – I am certain Fay and Justin will get a lot of joy when they look back on these photos.

    The bouquet toss, more dancing and before we knew it was time to wind up proceedings. It was a perfect day for a beautiful couple who really were meant to be together. It was an intimate, relaxed and fun celebration inclusive of those that meant the most to Fay and Justin. The memories from their wedding day will be forever treasured. Fay and Justin, it was a great pleasure getting to know you and being able to contribute to your wedding day. I wish to express my thanks for putting your trust in me and giving me the privilege and honour. May love and music fill your lives forever.

    Audris and Lorne’s Wedding


  • Wedding Reception | 27 February 2010 | Jacki & Frank | The Refectory, University Of Sydney, Sydney

    At the last planning meeting I had with Jacki and Frank before their wedding day, Jacki informed me that following some extensive research, there was a 75% chance of rain predicted for 27 February 2010 – well as it turned out, this delightful couple were blessed with an absolutely perfect day, not only in regards to the weather but also in every other aspect of their special day.As Jacki and Frank had first met at the University of Sydney, some six years earlier, it was very fitting that they selected a venue on the University grounds in which to celebrate their marriage. The Refectory, is the grand hall of the Holme Building and was built in 1924 and evokes an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance with its fine timber paneled walls, soaring ceilings and exquisite French doors opening onto the terrace. The room features the renowned mural “Mankind” painted by Vergil Lo Schiavo.



    On arrival the 140 guests were made to feel very welcome with refreshments and canapes on the terrace overlooking the garden. A short time later, to great applause Jacki, Frank and the wedding party were welcomed into the Refectory. After Frank thanking everyone for being a part of their wedding day and complimenting Jacki on just how beautiful she looked, a lovely entree was served.







    Heartfelt speeches from Jacki’s dad Peter, Frank’s dad Alteri and Jacki’s mum Joan followed before a delicious main meal was enjoyed by all. During the meal guests were surprised as the theme from Also Sprach Zarathustra started to play – before they knew it Elvis, actually the Elias2Elvis tribute, was entertaining everybody. I managed to get a short clip of part of this performance for your enjoyment. Elvis/Elias interacted with the guests and ensured many were actively participating in the show.

    Elvis was obviously a hard act to follow, however not to be outdone by “The King”, there were great speeches from Bestman Joe and Maid of Honour, Penelope. Next up were the real stars of the evening, Frank and Jacki. Both made really lovely speeches with both becoming a little overcome by emotions during their respective speeches. Jacki concluded hers by reading a heartfelt poem which was absolutely beautiful. This was followed by the cutting of the wedding cake and then guests were served a delectable dessert plus coffee and tea.


    Finally it was time for Jacki and Frank to ‘trip the light fantastic’ on the dance floor – their first dance was elegantly choreographed and judging by the applause, enjoyed by all. A very small snippet of the dance has been provided below, however is not really reflective of how lovely it actually was. Next Jacki danced with her dad, Peter to a song which they would listen to when he drove her to netball when she was young, “Frozen Orange Juice” by Peter Sarstedt. Mid way through the dance, they were joined by Frank and his mother, Angela.

    It was now time to party and may I say, everybody really did not hold back, they all participated, danced, had the time of their lives and contributed in making Jacki and Frank’s wedding fun and extremely memorable. All too soon, it was time for Jacki and Frank to say goodbye to all these special people, but not before Jacki had the opportunity to make a special presentation of her bridal bouquet to her Mum, Joan as a token of her deep gratitude for everything she had ever done for her. The guests then formed a guard of honour as Jacki and Frank departed the reception to begin their new life as husband and wife.

    A perfect day, a perfect couple who were meant for each other, a beautiful fun celebration inclusive of family and close friends, and memories which will be treasured forever – I believe it was everything that Jacki and Frank had wished for. Jacki and Frank, it was a pleasure meeting you both, getting to know you a little better and being able to contribute to your wedding day. I thank you for putting your trust in me and giving me the privilege and honour. May love and music fill your lives forever.
