What should I wear?
Black-tie optional. We ask that men wear a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie and women wear an evening gown or a formal dress. Below is a mood board which should help guide you on what to wear if you’re unsure.
What gift should I bring?
Please don’t feel obliged to bring a gift as we understand there are costs associated with travelling to the Central Coast. However, if you still wish to bring a gift, a contribution to our honeymoon would be much appreciated.
Am I allowed to bring my children?
Unfortunately we aren’t able to extend our invitation to all children due to venue capacity. If you aren’t able to leave your little one at home, have a chat with us and we can can do our best to work through logistics with the venue.
Is there parking at the venue?
We recommend leaving the car at home for the big day, but if you need to, there is plenty of parking available at Bells.
Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?
No, after the ceremony there will be 90-minutes of drinks and canapés served on the lawns at Bells. Make sure you arrive ready for the full evening.
Are there taxis and Ubers in the area?
You can use Uber in the area, but it’s best to book early as they can take a little longer to arrive than in the city. Central Coast Taxis also provides a 24/7 taxi service in the area (call 131 008).
Will we be outside?
We do plan to have the wedding on the lawns at Bells so you will be outside for a couple of hours in the afternoon. The reception area will be indoors all night. Don’t worry though, the venue has a wet weather backup for the ceremony if it’s raining.
Are there any other events across the weekend?
We have booked some tables for dinner the night before the wedding at Hardy’s Bay Club. There is no obligation to come along to this event so don’t feel pressured, it will be casual for anyone around the night before.
What food options will be at the wedding?
We love our seafood so expect to see this on the menu. Please let us know your dietaries when you RSVP and we will make sure your dietaries are catered for.
