It was a three-night celebration which allowed everyone to make the most of the event. \u201cThe night before we had our family and a few friends join us for pre-wedding celebrations out at the venue. Having the accommodation on site worked perfectly so everyone could truly relax and enjoy themselves,\u201d says Jacqui.<\/p>\n<p>Spicers Hidden Vale hosted the couple for both the ceremony and reception. \u201cFollowing the ceremony our photographers pulled off our greatest wish for a speedy session so we could focus on spending time with our friends and family and still delivered the most astonishing photos,\u201d says Jacqui. \u201cAfter canapes watching the sun go down Matt walked me down to our barn reception where I actually cried from how stunning it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos
