How It All Began

Our Story

A Chance Encounter

Chapter One

A Chance Encounter

It started with a flat white and a shared table at a tiny café in Fitzroy. Liam needed somewhere to sit, Tess was buried in a novel, and somehow that awkward "is this seat taken?" turned into three hours of conversation and a second round of coffees.

The Adventures

Chapter Two

The Adventures

From weekend road trips through the Great Ocean Road to sunset picnics at the Yarra Valley — every adventure felt more natural than the last. Somewhere between the laughter and the long drives, we stopped being two people and started being us.

The Question

Chapter Three

The Question

On a quiet evening at their favourite vineyard lookout, with the sun painting the hills in gold and amber, Liam asked Tess the only question that mattered. Through happy tears and a trembling "yes," they began their next chapter together.

Questions & Answers

What is the dress code?

Cocktail attire. Think smart and elegant — earthy tones, florals, and warm colours are encouraged to match our rustic setting. Guests should note the ceremony is outdoors, so please consider comfortable footwear for grass and gravel.

Can I bring a plus one?

We have carefully curated our guest list to keep the celebration intimate. If your invitation includes a plus one, it will be noted. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Is there parking available?

Yes, Stones of the Yarra Valley has ample free parking on site. Follow the signs from St Huberts Road to the guest car park.

Will there be transport?

We will be arranging a shuttle bus from Lilydale Station for guests travelling from Melbourne. Details will be shared closer to the date. Rideshare services also operate in the area.

Are children welcome?

While we love your little ones, we have chosen to make this an adults-only celebration so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening.

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive by 2:30 PM. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM in The Chapel. Canapés and drinks will follow in the courtyard before the reception.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones and cameras tucked away while we say our vows. Our photographer will capture every moment, and we will share photos with everyone afterwards.
