Natalie and Robert’s choice of ceremony and reception venues held a special place in their hearts.

The pair, both aged 29, wed on September 22, 2018 with a ceremony at St. Ignatius in Richmond – the same church Robert’s grandparents tied the knot many years prior. Then, festivities continued late into the night with a modern wedding reception at Glasshouse – a stylish function centre overlooking Collingwood Football Club’s training grounds in Melbourne.

“It took us a long time to find a venue that we felt represented us but once we visited Glasshouse we knew it was the one – mostly because Rob goes for Collingwood,” laughs the bride.

The couple endeavoured to incorporate both family’s traditions but also do what they wanted with the special day. It was a modern take on a traditional wedding, complemented by a long list of Melbourne suppliers who pulled together to achieve something truly unforgettable.
