By day, their Cargo Hall wedding at Melbourne’s South Wharf was all city river views – and by night – twinkling ambient magic.<\/h3>\n

\"Romantic,<\/p>\n

Lana and Peter swiped right to find each other – for their Cargo Hall wedding in Melbourne’s South Wharf – they swiped right to family, food, and a rocking good time.<\/p>\n

“The most important thing was providing a space for all of our guests to feel comfortable, well-fed, and entertained, but mostly to have the best, memorable night!” says Lana who found Peter on Tinder with a nudge from her brother-in-law.<\/p>\n

“Our family comes from all over Melbourne so we wanted something central to the CBD that would accommodate all of our guests. We wanted an elegant yet modern vibe and Cargo Hall<\/a><\/strong> suited this perfectly.”<\/p>\n

The couple exchanged vows at St Mary’s Williamstown on March 7, 2021. “The intimate little bluestone building was the perfect location to share this special occasion with our closest family and friends. I was so lucky to have my local parish priest officiate our ceremony.”<\/p>\n

Post-ceremony, guests split off to Williamstown’s main strip and South Wharf’s bar precinct for pre-party bevs; while Lana and Peter lapped up the 28-degree sunshine with wedding party photos at Williamstown Botanic Gardens<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arriving at Cargo Hall’s boardwalk for cocktail hour, around 130 revellers had a taste of Showtime Events’ small bites and espresso martinis, while inside, a warm golden glow was waiting to welcome them.<\/p>\n

\n

Our venue at Cargo Hall was the perfect mix of elegant, modern and rustic vibes all in one. Peter loved the rustic wooden flooring and wall art, and I instantly fell in love with the diversity of the place. We could do so little or so much and still create the room of our dreams!<\/em><\/p>\n

What appealed to us the most was that during the day we got this gorgeous river view; and come dark, once in the room, it was transformed into this ambience where our guests walked into pure magic!<\/em><\/p>\n

We honestly could not fault the service from Showtime from start to end and that was one of the biggest deciding factors on Cargo Hall…they made us feel so comfortable and we placed our trust in them from the beginning.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“All my girls felt comfortable that their dress was perfectly fitted to their bodies.”<\/h4>\n
\n

We purchased our dresses from Love Affair on Sydney Road, Brunswick. The ladies there were incredible! I had a short timeline to work with given the covid lockdown and they made it happen! I also had three very differently-shaped girls and the beauty of this dress shop is that they made to measure so all of my girls felt comfortable.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“We wanted a church that was simple and intimate but allowed us to put our own personal touch on things.”<\/h4>\n
\n

We loved the grounds that our church was on and the gorgeous grassed area that was used to take beautiful family shots. <\/em>We also loved the large area at the front for our wedding car to park and be in our photos, too. We had a white Chrysler with jet doors that suited our wedding well.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I couldn’t go past a statement train!”<\/h4>\n
\n

My dress was designed and made by the beautiful Brides of Armadale. Suzie and I spent hours together sketching a dress that would make me feel amazing! I loved every bit of it and couldn’t go past a statement train. I wanted a combination of nude and ivory as well as stunning modern lace that would complement the intricate hand-beading on the bodice.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I opted for an elegant Hollywood wave with a side part.”<\/h4>\n
\n

My hair stylist was incredible at staying until we left the house to ensure every hair was in place for photos in the morning! I opted for a beautiful elegant Hollywood wave with a side part, and my bridesmaids had a beautiful full-wave up-ponytail.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
