Hunter Valley, NSW
December 31st, 2026
We're getting married...
And we would love nothing more than to celebrate this special moment surrounded by the people we love most.
Set in the heart of the Hunter Valley at Villa Toscana, our wedding is inspired by long summer evenings in Italy - think warm air, flowing dresses, beautiful food and the kind of atmosphere you never want to leave.
Â
We’ll be celebrating right through to midnight, welcoming 2027 together as we dance, laugh and toast our way into the New Year. Come ready to celebrate, we have a feeling it will be a night to remember! ✨
(the sweet life)
LA DOLCE VITA
An Italian-inspired celebration has always been our vision and we can’t wait to share a little slice of Tuscany with you... no passport required. Think golden hour, spritz in hand, incredible food and a dance floor that carries us all the way into the New Year!
(the day)
IL GIORNO
Villa Toscana, Hunter Valley
86 Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin NSW 2320
Please arrive by 3:45pm for a 4:00pm ceremony start.
Following the ceremony, we’ll flow straight into cocktail hour and reception;
all held at the same venue, so you can settle in and enjoy the evening.
(dress code)
IL DRESS CODE
LADIES
Floor-length dresses are encouraged, with soft textures, movement and a touch of glamour
GENTLEMEN
Formal suits are encouraged, with elegant fabrics and tones that complement the wedding palette
Think romantic, elevated and inspired by an Italian summer soirée.
Garden Formal
If you need a little inspiration, we’ve put together a mood board below to help bring the vision to life.
We would love to see guests in earthy tones such as:
light browns, beige, amber, peach, soft yellows, muted pinks, greens, greys, maroons and black. To keep everything feeling cohesive, please kindly avoid bright, bold colours (like red, purple & blue). Our bridesmaids will be wearing chocolate tones, so we kindly ask the ladies to avoid darker shades of brown where possible.
Â
As the celebration will take place across grass and natural grounds, we recommend choosing footwear accordingly — block heels, wedges or flats are great options. Most importantly, wear something you feel incredible in and enjoy the excuse to dress up!
(transport)
TRASPORTO
Parking is available at the venue for those who prefer to drive.
Â
We will also be organising buses to and from nearby accommodation, with more details to come closer to the date.

REGALI
Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift, especially knowing many of you will be travelling far to celebrate with us. Please don’t feel any expectation to give — your time and effort to be there means so much to us. However, if you do insist, we will have a wishing well on the day.
(a little note)
UNA PICCOLA NOTA
While we absolutely adore your little ones, our wedding will primarily be an adult celebration, with a small number of immediate family children included. As we are keeping the day intimate, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together!
(the day after)
IL GIORNO DOPO
For those who feel like continuing the celebrations, we’ll be hosting a relaxed New Year’s Day party at the venue. Think poolside, BBQ, drinks and a slow, easy day reminiscing on the night before. No pressure at all — just come along if you feel like spending a little more time together!
