Re gional Locations
One of the best parts of our job is getting to experience regional Australia every weekend. There is something refreshing about spending the weekend in the country and supporting local businesses.
During our peak event season, most weekends are spent in a different regional town across NSW and Victoria. We generally arrive on a Thursday where we check our venue build, then Friday is set day, and Saturday is the wedding day.
While we don’t get to spend a lot of time exploring, we always find time for a good coffee, breakfast and a glass of wine with dinner at the end of a long day. We have collated a list of our favourite hideaways, along with our recommendations for the best coffee and gastro pub meals;
Berry, NSW
Milkwood Bakery – for some of the best cakes, breads, pastries and of course coffee on the run
