A winning formula

You've celebrated the weddings of friends and family over the years with the heartfelt ceremony followed with a delicious meal and some serious partying – so why change a tried and true recipe?

For you, your big day is all about having a good time. Great music, great food and plenty of dance floor action is the perfect way to celebrate. Your ideal venue will cater to a big crowd who'll carry on into the wee hours of the morning.

Your wedding is the time to make the magic happen for your guests to create an occasion they'll never forget.

Splashing out on a big and beautiful wedding is an exciting time. The world is your oyster, and you have a chance to create an experience that's once-in-a-lifetime for your guests. The options are endless, so make a start by having a chat and listing your absolute must-haves.

Food glorious food. Make sure you offer substantial food that will fill tummy's and soak up champagne. Offering bar snacks later in the night is also a nice touch, who doesn't want hot chips at the end of the evening?

Imbibe, with caution. Along with your celebratory tipples, try to offer a variety of delicious non-alcoholic drinks and ask the staff to keep the water topped up on the tables. Coffee is an excellent option for later on too.

Home safe. Provide safe transport options for guests and make sure information about courtesy vans and cabs is easy to find. Your MC can make an announcement, and you may want to put a little card at each place setting with the details.

Proper preparation will make the night a success, and you can change into your dancing shoes and let loose.

Most importantly, make sure you capture the whole ride! Once you've chosen your photographer, book them for all the pre-events and the after-party. You'll want to preserve those precious memories, and all those tears and laughter, forever.

Surrounded by your favourite people, you'll want your photographer to be there for all the fun. Capture all the joy of the girls' prep, or the boys' round of golf and create memories of a fabulous day forever.
