Wow! We were so blown away with the quality, elegance, professionalism and beauty of our wedding photos. Overall, Serendipity Photography blew our expectations about what our photos would look like.
On the day of our wedding, the photographer was fantastic to work with. He made sure that everyone was comfortable in their surroundings, which definitely ended up showing in our photos.
The photos themselves had beautiful, vibrant colours- almost better than real life! They were so vibrant and crisp- my bouquet especially looked brilliant.
The photographer definitely catered for what we wanted. We were very keen on having a lot of outdoor shots, and so the photographer made sure that we were outside in a variety of different locations. The fact that we had many locations meant that we had a lot of choice when it came to sitting down and choosing our photos. We loved the fact that even though there were different locations, the photos all seemed to flow and fit together.
At our reception, we had a few traditional Polish customs that were very important for us to include. Our photographer captured these moments with elegance, respect and understanding, what definitely meant a lot to myself and my family.
Overall, we would say that Serendipity Photography were easy to work with and produced fantastic photos for us that we would be able to keep and treasure forever.

This review is for Vehicles D'Elegance, Hawthorn VIC

What a wonderful experience we had with Vehicles D'Elegance! All of our correspondence with this fantastic company was prompt, informative and very easy. For a stressed-out bride, they were fantastic to work with!
We used the Royal Daimler Limousine as our wedding car. On the wedding day, the chauffeur was friendly and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. We didn't want a car that looked like "just another wedding car". We were certainly not disappointed! The car looked absolutely stunning. It was different, beautiful and got me to the ceremony in time! I even got a red-carpet to walk on as I exited the car, in front of the church. That definitely made me feel like a million dollars!
It looked brilliant in our photos. I would recommend Vehicles D'Elegance to everyone!

This review is for Leonda By The Yarra, Hawthorn VIC

verified email - 30 Mar 2012

We had our wedding reception there last November and everything was perfect! There is nothing negative to be said about Leonda by the Yarra in Hawthorn. Our wedding planner Erin was a dream to work with- she made sure that our wedding ran smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Because we had some traditional Polish customs to be held at the wedding reception, Erin made sure that they were catered for. My family was left happy knowing that Leonda cared for our culture and traditions.
The food at our reception was outstanding. Being a very "foodie" couple, what we served to our guests at our reception was extremely important to us. Everyone commented about how professional the servers were, how fantastic the food was, how good the portions were, and most importantly- how delicious the food was!
The Garden Room (which we used for our wedding reception) looked beautiful on the day. We really couldn't have picked a more exquisite venue for our reception.
Huge thanks to Leonda for making our day so memorable!!

This review is for Baccini & Hill, Melbourne VIC

I went to Baccini and Hill to purchase a wedding dress, after I had researched online. On the day that I went there, there was a sale! Perfect for a bride on a tight budget! The staff at Baccini and Hill were absolutely fantastic. I told them that it was my first time trying on a wedding dress and so they were really accommodating. I ended up buying a dress that one of the staff members suggested to me. It was the "perfect dress". Baccini and Hill also handled the alterations of my dress. I had two fittings and both times I was extremely happy with how professional and experienced B&H were. I was so happy that I even ended up purchasing my veil from B&H, too! I would definitely recommend B&H to any bride wanting a stunning, elegant and timeless wedding gown.
