Schedule

A few finer details…

For the ceremony & reception on Saturday, Amarti Wedding Venue in Cowwarr is 30 mins north of Traralgon, 2 hours from Melbourne & 4 hours from Bendigo. The ceremony time is to be confirmed.

For Sunday recovery, Travelers Rest Inn in Thorpdale is a 30 min drive back towards Melbourne. We are working on a potential cooked breaky/brunch or pizza spread for lunch to ‘recover’ from the big night well.

If you’re around on Friday night, welcome drinks will be at the Crown Hotel in Traralgon.

Finally, an updated & accurate schedule will be posted here (& emailed out) with further details on this site closer to the day. This will include the bus departure schedule, ceremony start time, recovery details, etc.

This is a no kids wedding, sorry!
