We had many friends and family travelling from interstate and overseas and wanted it to be convenient,\u201d Brittany says.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"All Smiles Melbourne Waterfront\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Melbourne\/AllSmilesNewQuayDocklands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All Smiles<\/a> on the waterfront proved to be the perfect venue for the couple\u2019s celebrations, where they were wed by the bride\u2019s celebrant mother for an extra personal touch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn&#8217;t see the venue until we arrived on the day; we knew that if all of our friends and family were in one place it would be the perfect day for us,\u201d the bride says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted everyone to feel surrounded by love, and we continue to get compliments that this was felt by all! The personal touches of each of us, my mum being the celebrant, and the Haka &#8211; reminding Marko of his Kiwi heritage &#8211; are things we will remember forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of
