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.

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’.
