"Beautiful venue, only surpassed by the excellent staff"

"Great venue & very well organised. We had our ceremony and reception here a few days ago, and it was everything that we could have dreamed of. Baxter barn will go out of their way to make sure your day runs perfect. Highly recommend!!"

Winter may be the coldest time of the year, where all you want to do is snuggle up on the couch and watch a good movie, but last Saturday night this was all thrown out the window, because here at Baxter Barn, we hosted potential and current brides at our venue, for a pop up Reception! The guests swapped blankets for warm winter coats, take out for a cocktail experience, slippers for boots and a movie for live music.

antipastoWe decided to put on the event, so that couples could try before they buy. They got the opportunity to come and see what having your wedding at Baxter Barn is like, and what better way to decide whether a venue is right for you, then to try it out first! Pauline and Wayne from Woops a daisy floristry decked the place out with flowers, lights and even had a mock up bridal bouquet and flower crowns for the girls (or boys!) to have a look at. 

The night started with a casual walk around the property, before coming into the barn and feasting on the new antipasto grazing table (now available) filled with dried fruits, nuts, cheese, bread, meat, fresh fruit and grilled vegetables. Imagine having your guests walk into this at your wedding!

We followed this with the full cocktail experience, while Jimmy entertained the guests and performed live. The first 2 hours of roaming canapes were served by our amazing wait staff, which was then, followed by the BBQ hour, where the chef came out and cooked in front of the guests. Flame tricks warmed up the night, while food aromas filled the air.

Scottish Love in Australia

It’s a rare occasion that we’re left speechless at Baxter Barn, but the captivating wedding between Louise and Belinda did just that! With Louise from Scotland and Belinda from Australia, they began their journey by flying over to Scotland to do their legal ceremony in front of Louise’s family, before flying back and having a big wedding with their friends and family here in Australia.

    1. You're Going to Disagree with and Feel Guilty About, at Least Someone, or Something in The Lead up to Your Wedding

This one is unfortunate but unavoidable. Not everyone is going to have the same views and values as you and some people will make these known. It would be nice if it was always “Oh Karen I love this!” or “You two are so smart” or “You guys are awesome!” Because hey, who wouldn’t love hearing amazing feedback all the time! But unfortunately this is not always the case. Most likely it will be “Why are you doing this?” “You have to invite…” and “You can’t do that!” Trying to make everyone happy, will end up stressing you and your partner and by listening to one person, you will most likely offend someone else and you end up in a viscous, never ending, hair pulling cycle! At the end of the day, the most important people are the two of you. If you are both happy everyone will come around and will be happy for you. Make a list of what’s really important to you and stick to it. The day is a celebration of your love, so let it show! Which leads us into…
