    Frequently asked questions

    Are children invited?

    While we absolutely adore your little ones, we have chosen to keep our wedding celebrations intimate. Apart from our own children and beloved nieces and nephews, we kindly request that our wedding be an adults-only occasion.

    We hope this advance notice allows you plenty of time to arrange a relaxing evening and enjoy a wonderful night celebrating with us.

    Thank you for your understanding and support—we can't wait to celebrate together!

    What should I wear?

    Cocktail attire is requested. The ceremony and reception will be held across lawn and indoor spaces — we recommend comfortable elegant footwear for the grass.

    Can I bring a plus-one?

    Due to the intimate nature of our celebration, only guests named on their invitation are invited to attend. If you have any questions, please reach out to us directly.

    Will the ceremony be outdoors?

    Yes — our ceremony will be held on the lawns at Bendooley Estate. In the event of inclement weather, an alternative plan will be communicated on the day.

    Is there accommodation nearby?

    Absolutely. Berrima, Bowral, and the wider Southern Highlands offer wonderful stays — see our accommodation section for suggestions.

    Can I take photos during the ceremony?

    We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones and cameras tucked away so everyone can be fully present. Our photographer will capture the moments, and we'll share a QR code on the day for you to upload your own photos and videos.
