Jess and Laurence hold a particularly special place in our hearts as they were our very first wedding at Leonards Hill Estate. From the beginning, this celebration felt extraordinary – not just because they were breaking new ground with us, but because of who they were as a couple and family.

​

Surrounded by almost 70 of their nearest and dearest, including their lovely daughter who brought such sweetness and happiness to the day, they chose the Mighty Mini package and completely transformed our Courtyard and Shed. Their ceremony under the open sky was filled with heartfelt vows and joyful tears, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable celebration.

​

The reception in our modern country Shed was a true feast for the senses – delicious food, flowing drinks, and great music that kept everyone celebrating. But what made the day truly remarkable were the heartfelt speeches that captured not just their love, but the incredible strength of their family. Even knowing that Laurence was facing a serious condition, the joy and love that filled every moment was overwhelming.

​

Sadly, we lost Laurence just a month after their beautiful wedding day. We feel so deeply honoured that he got to experience their celebration surrounded by so much love, and we remain in awe of the strength and grace that Jess and their family showed throughout. Their wedding will always hold a special place as our first, but more importantly, as a testament to love, family, and making every precious moment count.
