gardens were immaculate, there was plenty of parking for the guest, it had an incredible chapel and the reception space was to die for!”

Once booked they visited most months for some breakfast and a chat about the planning of their wedding, “We got to meet Dean and Rennae who are the owners and Georgia who was the event planner throughout the process and all 3 of them made our experience totally stress free for us.”
“Everything was organized with Vues event planner Georgia and she coordinated everything with our other suppliers to execute everything the way we wanted. All we needed to do was turn up, get married and celebrate! It was so refreshing to know that we didn’t have to worry about anything! It was all done for us.”

After 2 years of planning, numerous emails and phone calls the day was here Friday the 18^th of November a beautiful spring day which Donna and Josh spend with 110 of their closest family and friends.

In the lead up to their wedding “The subsequent sessions with Georgia and Dean, were equally as good, both Dean and Georgia always listened to us and provided great insight into Vue on Halcyon and thus helped make our day perfect!”

Sunday 1^st of November 2015 a day Rachel and Patrick will forever cherish “the most memorable part of the day would have to be the ceremony. Having our ceremony take place in the chapel took the pressure off worrying about the weather. It did rain just before the ceremony but it didn’t matter at all as our family and friends all arrived without a worry. Dean and Ally coordinated mine & the bridesmaids arrival perfectly so the umbrellas were ready! Having all of our family and friends together in a beautiful venue to witness our ceremony was something we had always dreamt of and really was one of the highlights of our day”.

Following their beautiful ceremony Rachel and Patrick surprised their guest with a Mr Whippy van, the weather wasn’t going to stop their guest from enjoying a cheeky chocolate sundae. The reception followed and Rachel, Patrick and their guest danced, drank and ate the night away. “The wine and food was so amazing! We had so many positive compliments from our friends and family and it really added to the overall experience for those we love the most.”

“Overall, we feel so lucky to have had our wedding at Vue on Halcyon. It really was a dream come true and we will be forever grateful to all at Vue on Halcyon.”

From the moment Alana and Jared arrived on their first site visit “we were blown away by our first impression of Vue on Halcyon”, they were in awe of the reception venue and loved the wine barrel inspired ceiling.” Rennae and Dean gave us a very warm welcoming and we could tell how proud they were of their establishment, sharing with us the history of the land, design of the reception room, through to the construction of the chapel”.

After many hours spent visiting different wineries in the Valley they were not expecting to book after their first visit, “without hesitation, we signed up and secured Vue on Halcyon on the same day!”

For Laura and Adam, their day was made truly memorable as “everything ran smoothly because of Dean and Rennae and all the staff.

“We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who was a part of our day – it was honestly more than we could have imagined and everything ran so smoothly thanks to you guys!”

The day every little girl dreams off was finally here for Kylie, to be marrying the man of her dreams Travis,
the moments you rehearse over and over in your head walking down the aisle, seeing your family and friends watching you take the next step in becoming  Husband and Wife.

“For both of us it was seeing each other from either end of the chapel, it was an incredibly emotional feeling.  With a room full of people you felt like the only two people there.”

As the evening progressed the sun began to set beautifully beyond the rolling hills as guests enjoyed the sunshine, views and delicious canapés.

“Everything ran perfectly to time so we were able to get the most out of our night.”

For Cassie and Leigh, their day was made truly memorable by the personalised service and approach of Dean, Rennae and their team. In particular, it was Dean’s personal touch on the evening that truly capped off a wonderful day.

“Dean’s energy and caring nature on the night was unreal and they were open to doing a few things differently to make our day personal.  On the day, Dean was present when you needed him but running the wedding as to how we requested.”

What more can a bridal couple ask than to have a truly fun and memorable day? In fact, Cassie remarks that “We had so much fun that we did not want to leave.”

Cassie and Leigh, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day and best of luck for your future!
