Rosie & Tom— A surprise engagement

When Tom emailed us earlier this year, he had a vision. He pictured a sunny day, a garden backdrop and a very surprised Rosie. We’re happy to report that on a sunny day in winter, Tom dropped a knee and proposed to a joyous (and very surprised) Rosie. She said yes. The best part? Dylan (the photographer) had been camouflaged as a member of our gardening team and captured the whole thing. Brilliant. We’re so pleased that we were able to assist Tom in executing his vision. It was delivered perfectly, just as he’d pictured all those months ago.

Basilia & Scott— August Wedding

On a glorious day in August, Basilia and Scott welcomed their family and friends with an elevated yet relaxed Welcome Dinner hosted in the New Stables with our Executive Chef , Tristan Rebbettes. When they woke up the next day (game day) the skies were blue and the wind was still. It was THE perfect day to get married and they did so on the beautifully manicured Croquet Lawn. Their ceremony which Basilia describes as being ‘so us’ was followed by cocktails on The Homestead Lawn, dinner in The Woolshed & dancing under the moonlit skies.

Tiffany & Yenson — Autumnal April Wedding

There’s a reason why our Wedding Managers, Paisley Ross and Sarah Simmons say that Autumn is their favourite season here at Mona Farm. Unlike the city, which changes subtly throughout the year, the country’s seasonal transitions are theatrical - especially come April. From the golden oak leaves and rich red trees through to the pink sunset and crisp evening air, Yenson & Tiffany’s wedding was an exemplary display of Autumn’s beauty.

Imogen & Max — January Wedding

True to their character, Max & Imogen’s wedding weekend was full of humour, light-hearted jabs, laughter and above all, fun. Max and Imogen are the type of couple who would have partied through rain, hail or snow but on their special day, the sun beamed down. The only thing brighter was Imogen, as she walked down the aisle. This made for one of the more ‘serious’ moments of the weekend. Fighting back tears, Max was speechless and as he later said in his speech, in that moment he truly felt like ‘the luckiest guy in the world’.

Zoe and James - A celebration of colour

Zoe & James held their ceremony on The Croquet Lawn, exchanging vows in between our two cupid sculptures. The contrast between Mona Farm’s historic stone steps and Ivy Lane’s contemporary blue & red floral arrangements were captivating. This unique colour scheme continued through to the reception, providing a picturesque backdrop for sunset speeches, dinner and that 3-tier cake. After plenty of dancing, a round of espresso’s and a scoop of Messina, guests strolled back to their accommodation.

Shalea & Reece — Classic Romance

With their wedding date falling on 22.02.22, luck was on Shalea & Reece’s side right from the beginning. As luck would have it, the sun beamed down on Shalea as she floated down the aisle and held off until the ‘I do’s’ were exchanged. It was only once their guests had enjoyed a cocktail at the Post-Ceremony Drinks that the rain finally made a brief appearance. With the Champagne flowing, our onsite umbrellas at the ready and that ‘newlywed’ atmosphere - we assure you, the mood was anything but damp.
