Backyard weddings have emerged as a popular choice for couples seeking a more personal, intimate, and cost-effective celebration of their love. These weddings offer a canvas for creativity, a connection to nature, and a relaxed atmosphere that can make the day even more special.

In recent years, the concept of weddings has evolved dramatically, especially post covid. Gone are the days when couples felt compelled to adhere to traditional, grandiose venues. Instead, they are increasingly opting for a more intimate and personalized experience – the backyard wedding.

The Couple

Jac and Alex’s wedding serves as a beautiful example of how breaking away from tradition can lead to a truly memorable and meaningful celebration. For them the charm of backyard wedding at Jac’s dad’s home was an easy one.

The backyard was transformed into a beautiful outdoor venue, with string lights and elegant decorations that perfectly captured their style

Although there were many highlights of the day.  One of them has to the– the pizza van from Porcupine Eastery!  Instead of a traditional catering service, Jac and Alex opted for a local pizza van to provide delicious, freshly made pizzas for their guests. This choice not only added a fun and casual element to the wedding. The aroma of wood-fired pizza filled the air, creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere that guests couldn’t resist

It reminded us all that a wedding is not just about following a script but about crafting an experience that reflects who you are as a couple.

Review

Fiona, we cannot thank you enough for how much you have done for us, and how beautiful the ceremony was. It was everything we could have ever dreamed of, and you made us feel so comfortable, calm and happy for the day.

Thank you for every one of your suggestions, you understood exactly what we wanted and made the ceremony feel completely true to who we are.

The feedback from our guests were all singing your praise of how perfect you made the ceremony with all of the personal details and involving all of our family and friends (and of course our fur baby chilly!) We are honestly so overwhelmed, the day was magical, we loved every minute of it, and we are so honoured we got to share our day with you.
