Mt Duneed Estate Wedding Showcase – Talia & Pete

Six years ago, Talia was out with friends at Melbourne hot spot, Cookie, when a handsome barman by the name of Pete, served her up a cocktail. Impressed with his bar skills and taken by his good looks, Talia exchanged flirtatious conversation with the hospitality maestro. The couple of course hit it off and well, never looked back.

A few years later and with a truly romantic proposal hatched, Pete whisked Talia away on a trip to Bruny Island. Knowing how much his future bride-to-be loves lighthouses, Pete took her to the stunning Cape Bruny lighthouse, perched high on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, where he asked Talia to be his wife.Ecstatic, the loved-up couple began planning for their big day with fun high on the agenda. The wedding venue of choice, perfect for the couple’s down to earth approach to life, was the rustic Mt Duneed Estate with the wedding ceremony held amongst the secluded olive groves and the reception celebrations held in the impressive Barrel Hall, under the glow of festoon lighting with long banquet seating and a dance floor large enough for everyone to groove the night away.Surrounded by a talented group of close family and friends, Talia and Pete called on their nearest and dearest to help bring the day together, making everything all the more personal. “Photographer, celebrant, stylist, acoustic musicians, MC, the list goes on. We are very lucky to be surrounded by so many talented creatives”, Talia recalls. Special touches to the day also included a Kombi bridal car and invitations and stationery courtesy of the Groom himself. Of course, not forgetting Pete’s dancing abilities, the couple wowed guests with their own rendition of Dirty Dancing’s “Time of My Life”, complete with a spectacular lift.It was obvious Talia and Pete didn’t leave a stone unturned with their sense of style and fun with the beaming bride admitting there wasn’t one particular part of the day that was the most memorable but rather “the whole thing from start to finish! It was the best party of our lives”. We couldn’t agree more and wish the gorgeous couple all the very best.Take a look at Talia and Pete’s wedding gallery below, courtesty of Brett Danielson
