We have just witnessed a defining moment in Australian history.

Our government has recognised that in this day and age marriage should not only be limited to a union between 'a man and a woman'. The Australian people have made their voices heard through a costly plebiscite and the result is a resounding YES to legalising marriage equality.

So from December 9th 2017 'marriage according to law in Australia is the union of two people', and that is pretty sweet!

"Jam is a beautiful, responsible, lovely and fun woman, I was so busy organising my wedding and always forgot to send her our paperworks. She kept reminding us and tried to help and explain to us. Before the wedding, we met her in her house, she made us felt extremely comfortable and made sure we are prepared.
She did an awesome job, lovely housekeeping on our ceremony. She look after her customers seem as friend. If you like a careful, stylish and always respond marriage celebrate. She is the one....
Thank you Jam!! Made our ceremony perfectly through to the end. xx Bef"

This couple of cool cats both hail from Hong Kong, they met and fell in love half way across the world, in Bundaberg of all places! They're currently based in Brisbane, but love the feel of Melbourne so they decided to have their wedding ceremony at the classically romantic Montsalvat Estate.

Bef and Sing flew into Melbourne for their big day and brought with them friends and family from lands far and away. We had the privilege to welcome guests coming from all over Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and China. Their wedding party took on a distinctly playful vintage twist with the beautiful couple rocking out in their own signature style.
