Mel & Brent's Fun-Filled Wedding at Hop Hen Brewing

In a fun-filled wedding at Hop Hen Brewing Mel and Brent said their I Dos in the presence of their closest and dearest. The couple opted for a relaxed, party-style vibe that perfectly represented their personalities.

The festivities began with the bride and groom's preparations, where they were surrounded by their closest pals and family, all coming together to prepare for the big day. Mel received expert assistance from makeup artist Rachael Martens and hairstylist Emma Hulst. Their support ensured that Mel looked absolutely stunning as she prepared to walk down the aisle.

One of the most memorable moments of the day was the "first look." Mel and Brent radiated happiness, and their elegant style added a touch of sophistication to the joyous occasion. Mel's intricate dress, designed by White April Bridal and found at Fairytales Bridal Boutique, was a sight to behold. Meanwhile, Brent looked absolutely classy in his suit by Tarocash.

The ceremony took place at Hop Hen Brewing, and it was a heartwarming occasion with wedding vows officiated by Sherine Burl, the celebrant. The couple declared their love for each other, and their commitment was celebrated by friends and family.

As the day rolled on, the reception at Hop Hen Brewing brought even more excitement. Live music by Dane Kennedy Coach set the mood for a night of celebration, adding to the fun atmosphere. The cake, masterfully crafted by A Little Extra Sweet, added a touch of class to the festivities.

The couple's style was reflected not only in their attire but also in their choice of food and entertainment. They treated their guests to a delightful array of Krispy Kreme donuts, a small cake, and a big grazing table alongside a lolly bar. Pizzas were brought out as needed, and a selection of good-quality beer and cider kept the guests refreshed throughout the evening.

Dane provided the musical backdrop for the ceremony and a few hours afterwards, creating a beautiful ambiance. Afterward, the couple's carefully curated Spotify playlist took over, featuring Mel's favorite songs and a collection of tracks that she and Brent both love. The party was in full swing, with dancing, laughter, and cherished memories being made.

Mel and Brent's journey began online in 2013 when they met on the 17th of July. They hit it off so well that they decided to meet up, initially planning just for drinks. However, their connection was so strong that they couldn't resist ordering food and spending more time together. They were meant to be.

Their engagement story was a sweet one. Brent had everything planned for a weekend away in Barwon Heads and surprised Mel with a proposal right at home, just before they headed off for their getaway. It was on the 2nd of September in 2016 that they decided to take their relationship to the next level.

Looking forward to the big day, Mel and Brent were most excited about bringing their favorite people together for a dance-filled celebration. Their advice to other brides and grooms is to stay organized, write things down as they come to mind, and tick off items as they're ordered or organized. It's a surefire way to reduce stress and ensure that the day goes off without a hitch.

Mel and Brent's wedding was a celebration of love, laughter, and fun. Their relaxed, party-style vibe was a true reflection of their love for life, and their day was filled with cherished moments that will be remembered for years to come.
