Wedding Reception · 35 guests
We held a very short wedding ceremony of 30 people on the deck space.
The ceremony started at 6:30 so we were able to enjoy the evening sun.
One of our highlights was hearing the cheers and hooting of random bar patrons once we said our “I do’s”.
We then shared an absolutely delicious 3 course meal in the cellar room. And for $2 a head, they provided a cake cut service.
The Grace darling staff were super polite and punctual.
Our family and friends are still raving about it.
So much so that my two young friends want the same for their wedding day.
I cannot forget to mention Nickers for tending to every last minute need of mine, taking the pressure off me so I could enjoy my day stress free.
100/10 recommend and if we could give a hundred stars we would.
Thank you times a million 😭
