A note from us
Our story is still being written, but this is one chapter we’ll remember forever. The adventures, laughs, everyday memories, big decisions and quiet moments have all led us here.
We wanted a wedding that feels like us: a few relaxed days together, good food, drinks, music, laughs and the people who mean the most. Thank you for being part of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

“A few days together, good food, music, laughs and memories we’ll never forget.”
The plan
From the Sydney road-trip to a garden ceremony in Bonogin, then a few more days in Byron—here’s how the week unfolds.
Road-trip north, with a regrouping stop at Heatherbrae’s Pies in Ourimbah and an overnight stay in Scotts Head.
Continue to the wedding house, settle in and unpack. The accommodation is available from 2:00 pm.
Questionable op-shop outfits, family games, drinks, music and plenty of laughs.
A relaxed garden ceremony, family photos, live music, dinner, speeches, cake, dancing and late-night karaoke.
A slow morning at the house with leftovers, drinks, swimming, movies and time together.
Check out of the wedding house, then carry on to Byron for the beach, cafés, bars, pubs and general good times.
A little request
With family coming from around the world, this time together is precious. Please keep phones on Do Not Disturb through the week and use them mainly to capture the moments.
During the ceremony, we’d love every phone tucked away so we can all be fully present.

Everything happens at the Bonogin house, from getting ready through to karaoke. The mood is intimate, relaxed and unmistakably us.

Before the ceremony comes Op Shop Night: a family games night full of very low fashion standards and very high competitive spirit.
Find something gloriously questionable and dress to impress.
Toilet paper, teams and spectacularly questionable design decisions.
Daniel, Lauren, family history, funny stories and a few surprises.
One person guesses while the whole team acts. Chaos is expected.
Where we’re staying
Our home for the wedding week and the setting for the ceremony, dinner and celebration. Rooms will be allocated before arrival.
An overnight stay halfway from Sydney before continuing to Bonogin on Sunday morning.
A loose plan involving the beach, cafés, bars, pubs and wherever the days take us.
What to wear
Think formal garden party, not black tie: elevated and relaxed, with soft tailoring, natural tones and something comfortable enough for an indoor/outdoor celebration.
A small colour note: the bride will be wearing white and the groom will be wearing a dark brown suit, so please avoid white and dark brown.
Midi or maxi dresses, soft florals, elegant neutrals, earthy tones, pastels or a dressy jumpsuit.
Linen suits, lightweight blazers, tailored trousers, soft neutrals, navy, olive, sand or stone.
Choose block heels, wedges, loafers or dressy flats that are comfortable around the property.
Pack your bags
Alongside the essentials, don’t forget your party-night look and everything needed for your couple’s cocktail.
Us, so far
The adventures, the everyday moments, and the family we can’t wait to celebrate with.

Good to know
The details still being confirmed—addresses, menus, parking and Byron arrangements—will be shared with the family as soon as they’re ready.
The ceremony, family photos, dinner and evening celebration are all at the wedding accommodation in Bonogin. No wedding-day travel is needed.
Please be dressed and gathered for pre-ceremony drinks by 2:30 pm. The ceremony begins at 3:00 pm on Tuesday 4 November.
Garden Formal: polished, elegant and comfortable for a relaxed indoor/outdoor setting. Linen or lightweight tailoring, cocktail or midi/maxi dresses, dressy separates and comfortable shoes are all perfect.
Yes on the wedding day. The menu is still being finalised and dietary requirements will be considered. Bring any particular drinks or snacks you would like for the other days.
Absolutely throughout the weekend. During the ceremony, please keep phones away and be fully present while the photographer and videographer capture the moment.
No. Your presence is more than enough—Daniel and Lauren are simply grateful to celebrate and spend this time with you.
See you in Bonogin
With love, Daniel & Lauren
