Where Would You Do It?

WEDDINGS!!!!

That's right guys and girls!

Not as many people are doing it these days, but where would you or did you get Married or have an Engagement Party??

My boyfriend and i just got engaged and we are looking for nice venues in Adelaide to have an Engagement Party and eventually a Wedding Ceremony and Reception...


So where would you do it???

Chain Of Ponds winery is awsome. Thats where we thought of having our engagement party.

Wedding - Carrick Hill by far would be the coolest!

why not St.Pauls...? during ONE.

oh my goodness congratulations darling that is wonderful!!!!

i once went to an engagement party at the palais (i can't spell for peanuts) it's down at semiphore right on the beach and it was the most romatic thing i have ever witnessed!

congrats and goodluck hun

have it at my house
got plenty of lawn and a tree
even got a toilet

THANKS!!

i have looked at the Palais... it looks nice, and we were also thinking in the Adelaide Hills...

excellent chris, will you be the Waiter too??

will you be serving drinks wearing a lepard print thong????



now that class

Congrats Mel!!!

The Belair National park (i think its a country club type place) is lovely, and a few of the wineries up in reynella/McLarenvale area are excellent as well!!

hmmmm, if i said that, my boy would disown me!!

Chain of Ponds winery has a nice setting overlooking lush green hills and vines. It also has a B&B which they can include in the package. I like this venue because its just far enough into the hills to be not to far into the hills. Good food too!!!!!

Nice place, check it out

congratulations chickybabe, awesome news

yes!!!... waiter, bridesmaid, bestman, dad, and celebrant i can fill all postions.
and yes i will be wearing a leopard print thong also except for when i am being the dad, as i will be sporting a cummerbun (is that how you spell it?) aswell.

can jet be the page boy i think your too old to fill that position! (and he's way cuter!!)

Look out world Here comes Jett!!!!

(American Pie made his willy went big)

damn hes taking my work already. ill be out of a job before i know it

american pie made his willy went big???

think about it....

you idiot!!

LOL

you guys... i dont even get it and i think its gross!!

Hows about Las Vegas.........
All those bright lights..........
You, ur man and a priest called Elvis..........
Thats how Id do it...........

well you dont have a grandma like mine or Mikes then, we would be excluded from the family!! its all about the family!!

F**k em...... unless they're rich!!!!!!!!
jk.
At least if u did it that way you wouldn't have to deal with everyone fussing and having their say, you can runaway, relax, party and just get married when you feel like rocking up to the alter.

i'm getting married in january in the botanic gardens [by the palm house], reception at the alchemy room, entertainment centre..

neither of us are gushy romantics or religious [though our families are] so we just chose somewhere that would suit our personalities and be easy for everybody [my partner has a huge italian family].. and the entertaiment centre has a good rep for service and food [with cooper's pale as standard ], plus we were both into alchemy stuff when we met..

Paul, you are one of my kind..... I was thinking more like Borneo, but Thailand is closer...or in a temple in India....must be at sunset too

No stress wedding....sweeet!!!

Congrats Mel

well i hav my wedding planned already lol
i wana get married on the beach (near horseshoe bay/pt elliot) at night in the summer.....reason for the location is cos it a place where i spent my summers while i was growing up and they be some of the best memorys of my life.

.....is there a place that means alot to u that u think will be suitable for wat u are after??
combining the memories of wat u had done in a location and the new memories that u are wanting to create wid ur boy would be special

we were looking at the botanic gardens.... but the problem we are having at the moment is where to have the engagement party!!!! too stressful!!

For an engagement party have a look at the cellars below the Lion. Good atmosphere with the right lighting. I had a party down there with beats rolling off the tables a while ago, it sounded and looked k00l. Check it out.

I'm going to a friends wedding in the Belair National Park soon. I've been there heaps (growing up in that area tents to have that affect), and I think it's a great idea to have a wedding there. My friends’ wedding is going to be at Karka Pavilion inside the park. If you’re considering an out door wedding have a look at all the different areas.

Best of luck to you both.

thanks!! i think Belair is up there in the choices, we live at Bridgewater and most of our friends are there.... would almost be easier to go with paul's idea....

SAINT PAULS!!!! ALL THE anthems DJs CAN PLAY AND YOU CAN CHARGE ENTRY

How about in 'Las Vegas' by Elvis Presley.....

or on a beach with gold spray painted banana lounges for the bride and groom....he he he can you tell I don't take weddings very seriously...maybe coz both of my parents are on #3

But Mel, you say you have to go with a cetain kind of day for 'family reasons'...understand that ....Botanic Gardens have been mentioned previously....They are just gorgeous for the ceremony - unless your family expects a church wedding, and the Botanic restaurant is a lovely venue too....in the heart of the city so central for everyone...and when the reception is over and you and your beloved have left for your first night as man and wifey your guests dont have far to go to continue partying

Good luck to you both...congrats on finding each other!!!

Congrats honey, I love your ring! Its beautiful!!!!!

Hmmm venue for the engagement party.... I have no idea!!!! Let me know if you need any help with anything!

im a fan of the beach... then again im a beach bum by bature.... some where up in the rolling hills... huge cliff back drops.... green grasslands.. hmm.. love some fresh air'd country...

thanks for your great ideas everybody! it has helped us out a lot we just have to get organised!

You should look at the Palace then, I'm sure your future husband would be happy

haha! i would be like, "check out the rack on her!" we decided the engagement party at The Astor on Pultney st... upstairs. and the wedding will be at Victor Harbour but not sure what venue yet, looking this weekend at golf/country clubs for reception.... but not sure about the ceremony..... too many people for on the beach....

Well I looked (question leaves it open to a lot of "its")

you looked in the palace?

How about having it at Crazy Horse, so the guests don't feel left out?

J/k.

well at least the men would love it!

Ok.. no one is allowed to steal my idea....

I would go for a park for the wedding ceremony. There are these trees in Golden Grove who's leaves turn orange in Autum (like burnt orange and golden) definatley at that time of year.

and my whole wedding would be 1920's. the men in gangsta suits (pinstripes with hats) and the bridesmaids in "flapper" girl dresses. my wedding dress is staying secret from everyone!

Fumo Blu would be a nice place for an engagement. it is very classy (being a cocktail bar).

Congratulations!
If your looking for somewhere in the adelaide hills my sister just got married and had her reception at the mount osmond golf course which is beautiful and the best part was the food was awesome! (most important in my eyes)

yeah we had friends marry there so we decided we better not copy them since we are the next wedding after theirs.... and we met in Victor so i say make everyone drive there! MWAhahahaha!

complete with tommy guns?

Good plan, make it one big weekend, guests can have a road trip! :> Have you set a date?

HEY... that's a pretty cool idea!.. we could have little page boys running around with little plastic tommy guns!

now you've got me thinking!!

J/K, i hate kids, tehre are definatley not page boys or flower girls at my wedding.. but as for the tommy guns.. hmmmm

november some time, not sure when we can book a venue but not a long weekend.... i want the 25th... it will by my parents 28th wedding anniversary on that day to.... special to me!

well, you'r pretty young mel, only about 4 months older then me! i couldnt imagine getting married.. i think i'm much to young, but, immature as well.

I'm sure your making the right decision i'm just pointing out you must be alot more mature then me!

well my best friend is in her mid 30's and we are so alike, my parent have always said i am an older brain.... im more mature that my sisters, and im the youngest! mind you i do love to party!

hows bout richmond kartmania???

that would be FUN!

congrats on the engagement mel.

You could always have the party in Gawler. or in Freeling.

I hear its really nice up there. :-P

no way man... i know this really strange monkey man who might stalk me there! up for a big one sat i hope biatch!

me and marie are planning our engagement party at the moment..

we REAAAAAAAALLy love chocolate fondue - so we`l be getting one of those big chocolate fountains etc, with champagne etc. thiinking somewhere like club 199, or maybe even fumo or something similar..
its good fun organising..

the wedding, still got another few years up oursleeves here.. no ideas just yet...

did you put planning and fun in the same sentence!! well i guess you are helping Marie... i have a "yes dear" to deal with!!

Well maybe im going to all the weddings for you... from oct through to mid march iv gone/am going to 8 weddings... and 4 of them are in january... two are a day apart on the first weekend and two are around the last weekend....

IM SO BLOODY SICK OF WEDDINGS RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!!! heheheeheh...
but i do love them...

One we went to was at Warrawong Earth Sanctuary and that was on a Saturday *when theyre normally closed* and that was just gorgeous, cept we had rain all that day, but we'd gone up the week before and it was just beautiful...

NOTE: to all potential marriages coming up...
if you plan on gettin married in Sping at Warrawong, be warned that most animals are frisky and have a bit of WOO HOO at inappropiate times of the service/day/night... LOL!

And one that was a week after was at a local church and then we went up to Cuddlee Creek and THAT was gorgeous too...

so there ya go, theres my 15 cents worth!
BTW, best of luck to all getting hitched, you lucky devils you!

I am sure that the monkey man that would stalk you wouldnt that much.... much like lenny and carl.

I think that this weekend will be a huge one!! I have no intention on keeping my pants by the end of the night!!

Still trying to think if thats a good or bad thing!
