DRESS CODE
Dress code is smart casual attire. As this is a celebration, feel free to dress up if you wish! However, as it is both in the middle of Summer and a more casual reception in our own backyard, full suits are not necessary.
Please note both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors, and there will be some walking between venues on the day - as such, make sure you wear comfortable footwear, or bring a change of shoes for dancing at the reception!
ACCOMMODATION
Moonee Ponds is in the heart of the inner north suburbs of Melbourne, as such, there are plenty of accommodation options in Moonee Ponds itself or in the Melbourne CBD (which is a quick 20 minutes tram ride from our house!)

Airbnb options for Moonee Ponds Central can be found HERE.

The Sebel Hotel in Moonee Ponds Central is the closest hotel to our house. The hotel website can be found HERE.​
PLUS ONES
Due to catering and capacity limitations, we unfortunately cannot accommodate plus ones for the ceremony and reception.
However, we understand wanting to see in the New Year with your loved ones! Therefore, partners and plus ones are more than welcome to join us at the fireworks lookout at 11:45pm and for kick ons at our place post-midnight. Please just let us know if you plan to bring someone so we are aware of who will be at our home.
If you would like any clarification on who is included in your invitation, please contact Adam (0405 917 728) or Lauren (0433 900 605) directly.
GIFTS
We genuinely do not want for anything but your presence on our big day. This has been a wedding 5 years in the making and it will make it all the more special to have you there celebrating with us!
If you do still wish to gift us something, there will be a Wishing Well at the reception. We have also never travelled overseas together and plan to do so for our honeymoon! We have set up a dedicated account for this instead of creating a traditional registry if you would prefer to send your gift ahead of time.
