Vanessa and Joe brought a little Hollywood and a whole lotta love to their glamorous Peterson House wedding in the Hunter Valley.
Enlisting Hunter Valley wedding planners, stylists, and all-round wedding pros Hunter Events NSW, the couple’s Great Gatsby-inspired nuptials on February 7, 2021, went off with a bang. Literally.
Culminating in a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the sprawling vineyard, the Sydney couple’s big day with 95 guests drew inspiration from Baz Luhrmann’s distinctive style, and in particular, favourite films Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby.
We used Hunter Events NSW who were our stylists bringing our bespoke vision to life and representing us as a couple. They were a godsend. Especially with COVID and trying to rearrange 15 vendors to a new date. Louise and her team were a military operation! We would hire them again in a heartbeat.
My George Elsissa gown was a throwback to old Hollywood, with feathers and sequins; a lace top with boning and a cap sleeve; and the skirt was a trumpet style with a magnificent train.
The Peterson House marquee went through an extension during COVID. We were able to have our long double trestle tables, fit our band and dancefloor, and the lighting and styling created a magical ambience.
For one night, everyone was celebrating love and it was most of our guests’ first event and wedding off the back of COVID.
People had so much to celebrate – love and life.
Vanessa and Joe
