2025/2026 Summer Wedding Season!

A Love Letter to Our Upcoming Couples

There’s something about summer weddings on the Mornington Peninsula that hits differently. Maybe it’s the way the light hangs a little longer in the afternoons, or how the air feels soft and alive. Maybe it’s the familiar hum of people gathering — the clink of glasses, the laughter that starts early and refuses to fade, the slow build of a day that’s been imagined for months, sometimes years.

As we head into the Summer 2025/2026 season, we wanted to write a little love letter to all the couples we’ll be celebrating with.

Consider this your warm welcome, your pep talk, and your gentle reminder that this season is going to be unforgettable.

You’ve chosen one of the most iconic times of the year to get married — peak sunshine, the Peninsula buzzing with life, gardens in full bloom, wineries humming, the dusk skies putting on a show each night. Whether you’re celebrating among the lavender and tree tunnels of Ashcombe, the rustic grounds of Emu Bottom Homestead, the warmth of Epicurean Red Hill, or tucked into one of our favourite pockets around the coast, summer transforms everything.

And here’s the thing we want you to keep close as your day approaches:

You don’t need to do anything extraordinary to make your wedding extraordinary.

Summer already gives you the glow. Your people bring the energy. You bring the meaning. Our team brings the calm, the structure, the timing, the food, the creativity and the quiet behind-the-scenes magic that allows everything to unfold effortlessly.

In these final months, here’s what we want you to remember:

Let your vendors carry the load.

You’ve chosen them because you trust them. Let your florist create. Let your photographer chase the moments. Let your coordinators run the show. This is the season to loosen your shoulders and let the day breathe.

Your runsheet is a guide, not a countdown.

Summer weddings flow differently — slower, softer, lighter. Leave room for moments. The temperature drops, the moods rise, and golden hour waits for no one. Sometimes the best photos happen when you weren’t planning them.

Lean into the season.

Ice-cold spritzes. Sunlit ceremonies. Linen. Light music drifting across the lawn. Summer rewards relaxation — the more you lean in, the better the day feels.

The details matter, but not as much as the feeling.

Your guests won’t remember the font on your signage or the exact napkin colour. They’ll remember the way the place felt — the joy, the ease, the warmth, the way the night wrapped itself around everyone like an embrace.

To every couple stepping into this season with us: we’re genuinely so excited. We’ve seen the drafts, the Pinterest boards, the menus, the floorplans, the flower palettes — but what we’re most excited for is the energy you’ll bring on the day. Summer weddings always have a pulse, and you’re the heartbeat of it.

So here’s to your season. To long days, balmy nights and celebrations that spill past the edges of the page. To moments that feel cinematic, candid and unmistakably you.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Let’s bring your Peninsula summer wedding to life — reach out to our team and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
