There’s a particular kind of magic that happens when a wedding takes place on land that means something. Jess and Tom didn’t need a venue — they had one. A private family estate in Mulgoa, rolling rural landscape as far as the eye could see, and a tennis court just waiting to become something extraordinary.
The brief was clear from the beginning: Slim Aarons. Sun-drenched, effortlessly glamorous, the kind of afternoon that looks like it was styled by someone who genuinely didn’t try. The cocktail hour delivered exactly that. Guests gathered poolside in the October warmth, peach tones catching the light against the deep green of the surrounding landscape, a pairing so natural it felt inevitable.
The transformation of the tennis court was the centrepiece of the day. A large-scale marquee build, fully draped, beautifully considered, and designed to feel like it had always belonged there. For 200 guests it needed to feel intimate, and it did. Every detail inside was calibrated to the palette: florals by Ivy Lane threading through the tablescapes, linens and lighting working together to create something warm, layered and distinctly personal.
The White Tree kept the energy alive from the first note to the last dance — the kind of live band that reads a room and responds to it. Katering delivered on the food and service, and Loveday’s Ivy captured every moment with the same quiet precision that defined the day itself.
A family estate, a tennis court, a pool and a peach October sky. Jess and Tom set the tone, we just made sure everything else matched it.
