Couples' reviews

From the first meeting, it was like being welcomed by family. Greg and Shelley are very proud of Mali Brae Farm, the care and respect given to the gardens, sculptures and buildings are evident of this. Greg ensured guests were headed in the right direction and drove less mobile guests to and from the ceremony, making the gardens accessible to all our guests. Shelley and Amelia interpreted and produced the most stunning version of our dream wedding. We had an eclectic, Autumn theme, sprinkled with marigolds and apples. Shelley represented my Indian heritage with the most stunning marigold curtain, hanging over the Sweetheart Table. Shelley had also sourced ceramic llamas for table numbers, bringing in Tracey’s beloved animals (our first venue with llamas fell through). And the food, the food! Grace created a cute picnic, served during picnic hour (instead of cocktail hour). The reception service was the best family roast lunch bar none. Staying over in the beautifully restored accommodation was a great way to reflect on a fantastic day. Shelley, Greg, Amelia, Grace, and the Mali Brae Team, thank you for taking on our dream, reassuring us during stressful times, and ultimately sweeping everyone off their feet. Meg, Zac, Charlie, Bear, thank you for your doggo snuggles during free run time. x Tracey and Karishma

Ardina was prompt in responding to our initial enquiries, and after meeting with her, a genuine, hardworking professional dedicated to her craft. Our hair and make-up brief was based on uncomplicated, classic looks. Tracey and I were concerned we didn’t have enough hair, yet Ardina reassured us we would be beautiful brides. Ardina went above and beyond not only for us, but in coming to the rescue on the day, for both mums, as well as the nieces. Thank you Ardina x Tracey and Karishma

Finding the right celebrant can be daunting, as essentially, they are an extension and reflection of your personalities. It was genuinely an honour to work with Ben - the most gloriously kind-hearted, well spoken, articulate, engaging, intuitive, funny, worldly, Uber Celebrant of a human being! Ben respectfully acknowledged country, had hearts fluttering for all the right reasons, and set the tone for the rest of our big day. Ben, having you there to warmly greet us before the ceremony was an invaluable tonic both professionally and personally. Thank you for everything, from the bottom of our hearts x Tracey and Karishma

I initially contacted Louise with a coloured wedding dress enquiry. What resulted was a friendly face to face meeting to discuss silhouettes, budget and our colour palette. Louise was knowledgeable, sensitive, open-minded and wonderfully creative. We enjoyed our appointments with the team, looking forward to catching up with what they'd been up to. Both of our bridal gowns exceeded our expectations of style and colour. Though not intentional, my wife's burnt orange gown was a nod to her Indigenous roots and my cerise gown was a nod to my Indian background. Louise and her team helped us realise a dream, we enjoyed working with a talented and nurturing group of women. Thank you for drawing out our inner queens. x Tracey and Karishma
