Teagan + DAve

Dave and I had a picture of what we wanted in a wedding venue. We wanted flexibility, different options for the ceremony and the reception, as well as people that were willing to do anything for us. We searched high and low for this venue and by chance, we stumbled upon Chandeliers on Abbey from one of many google searches. I am so glad we kept looking until we found this venue! We contacted Ian and he was more than accommodating for us to come down the following weekend to have a look. We were travelling 5 hours to see this venue, so he made the time to see us. 

Upon our arrival, we were met by an abundance of greenery and immaculate gardens. Carleton and his adorable little pug were there waiting to meet us. He showed around the entire venue from each potential ceremony option, as well as the chalets. 

We knew from that first visit that this was the perfect venue for our magical wedding day. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Ian and Carleton were always a phone call away and willing to help. They always had an answer for every question. 

Leading up to the wedding, we had access to the venue for set up several days before our big day. We were overwhelmed by the horrible weather of rain and wind. We were unable to put up the marquee but despite this, Ian and Carleton had it all set up by the following day. They reassured us that should the weather not subside, there was always another option for our day. Ian and Carleton joined the team of setting up with decorations and tables and offered countless hours of labour. 

On our wedding day, we had beautiful blue skies. As time got closer, Ian and Carleton assisted with guest arrival and guest parking. They made sure everything ran smoothly and had full contact with our MC. Our day could not have run better. 

We want to thank Ian and Carleton for all their help, advice and hours of work. Chandeliers on Abbey is the most beautiful and well thought out venue. It is close to Busselton and Dunsborough, but it still has that country charm feeling. The views are amazing. 

We cannot thank Ian, Carleton and the team at Chandeliers on Abbey. You guys truly are the best team for the job.
