Still searching for location...

Last weekend Ty and I went to visit Mount Lofty House. We were shown around the grounds by the wedding co-ordinator and it was breathtaking. The location for the ceremony had full views of the hills. The reception room had an antique feel to it which was a perfect size for our reception. After we had seen the places and been wowed by how nice they were we found out the costs. The original cost was $145 per head, we managed to reduce that to $130 by reducing the drinks time and having an alternate drop for the main course. However once we received the proposal from the wedding co-ordinator there were alot of additional costs. We were expected to book a minimum of 4 rooms at a cost of $280 per room. There was a $10 per person surcharge because March was considered high season.

Ty and I decided that the main reason we wanted our wedding at Mount Lofty House was because of the ceremony on grounds with the views were so amazing. We decided if it was to rain or be extremely hot we would end up having the ceremony indoors hence the reason for having a wedding there would have been pointless. The cost of the ceremony was $950 which is quite expensive.

We are now looking at Chloes, Botanic Gardens and Belair Country Club, hopefully we will find something soon.
