Sarah & Ash — The Pine Forest

Three weeks ago, on a sun-drenched day in April, Sarah & Ash tied the knot in The Pine Forest. They were the first couple to use this location and we have a feeling they won't be the last!

The only thing better than the wedding? The Recovery

The best way to enjoy Mona Farm is over a three-day booking inclusive of a Welcome & Recovery Event. From budget-to-blow-out, no one delivers these events like we do. Take Brigitte and Matt for example. On a sun-soaked Saturday in December, Mona Farm bride Brigitte Murty and her newly wed husband, Matt held a recovery day for the history books. Featuring a Summer Spritz Station, Spirit Bar, lawn games, Tristan’s Smoke & Fire Menu and more, their guests had an absolute ball.

Trend Forecast with LB Styling

Effortlessly stylish, unpretentious and whimsical, LB Styling and its founder, Laice Bollen are the antithesis of ‘cookie-cutter’. If you aren’t familiar with LB Styling, we recommend you get yourself acquainted with her work. Stat. LB has a knack for identifying emerging trends (often before they surface) and bringing them to life in a way that feels exciting, innovative and refreshingly different. From sleek minimalism to high-octane maximalism, LB Styling translates vision boards to experiences. With two LB x Mona Farm weddings coming up this year, we thought this was the perfect time to pin Laice down and talk to her about what she’s predicting for 2023.

Katie & Ned — Coach House Ceremony

Excluding our world-class service and award-winning grounds, no two weddings are ever the same. Each couple brings their own unique vision to the table and our job is to bring that vision to life! A great example of this is Katie & Ned who got married at Mona Farm in November 2022. Right from the get-go, the couple gravitated towards our pink Coach House building (circa 1903) and we ended up designing their entire ceremony around this non-traditional location.
