Hands up who got engaged over the Christmas and New Year break?  Congratulations guys!  Woo hoo!!!  It might explain why you are here, visiting my little blog, to get some great ideas about your upcoming nuptials.  There really is no better way to start planning your wedding than to look at other peoples’ weddings – see what you like and what ideas you can pinch.  It is one of the favourite parts of my job – planning my next wedding.  Poor Jason won’t know what hit him!  Anyway once you have settled the style of wedding you want, the next three things to get finalised are your ceremony location (church, garden, minister, celebrant), your photographer (say, um, someone like us!) and your reception venue.  While I could go on and on about the photography, it is the reception venue I wanted to talk about today.  Where can you get a venue that offers award-winning food, to-die-for, spectacular views of the river and a venue that can handle, with ease, small, large and huge weddings without breaking a sweat?  Where you ask?  It’s Moda Events Portside!  They are the one – the perfect wedding venue.  Jess and Lucy, the fabulous and friendly event coordinators at Moda Events Portside can help you plan your dream wedding.  These girls really know their stuff when it comes to planning and executing a wedding for either 40 or 400.  With the help of their stylists, Amini Concepts, Moda Events Portside can transform this space into anything your heart’s desire.  Just look at these photographs!!!

See what I mean?  Simply stunning!  Given how hot it is today, I am totally digging this breakout space that catches the cooling breezes and stunning views of the Brisbane River.  Can’t you just imagine yourself there????

Moda Events Portside are having a Bridal Expo on the 23 January where you can come along and experience the venue for yourself.  There will be canapes and drinks as well as time to chat to their hand picked vendors.  It is a great way to start planning your wedding and an awesome way to spend a summer’s evening.  It is a ticketed event so please click here for more details.  We’ll see you there!
