Amy & Cameron — Winter Wonderland

On Amy and Cameron’s wedding day, the estate felt ethereal. The winter sunshine made the clouds appear metallic, adding to Amy’s high-impact aisle entrance as the sun bounced off her glistening sleeved gown. Coupled with the black-tie dress code, our perfectly manicured lawns and flowing Champagne, guests were transported to another world for the day. It was spectacular.

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.

After the last few years of La Niña, the Mona Farm gardens are greener than ever. Vibrant, perfectly landscaped and bursting with life, the gardens provided the perfect backdrop for Elle and Richard’s three-day wedding weekend in March. The couple made the most of Mona Farm’s spectacular garden spaces, hosting their welcome event in The New Stables and outdoor entertaining area, officiating their marriage on The Crab Apple Lawn and letting their hair down for a large-scale recovery event held across the sweeping Homestead Lawn.

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’.

It’s a good thing Kara looked breathtakingly radiant on the day because Weston came alarmingly close to stealing the show.

In true Christmas spirit, the skies were blue, the cocktails were plenty and the mood was festive.

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.
