The love story
Nothing about this beautiful couple is conventional. Since Cassandra and Jarrod first met, they were all in. They moved in together after 3 months and within a year and a half together, they found out they were going to be parents to their gorgeous daughter Macey.
Cassandra was determined to have her dad walk her down the aisle on her special day. You see, Larry was given some very sad news and Cassandra planned the whole wedding within three months so her dad could be with her on her wedding day. Both Cassandra and Jarrod loved the thought of an outdoor wedding with a festival vibe, trees and a fabulous party with their closest friends and family. Cassandra mentioned that the original venue happened to double-book them, so they had to come up with another plan and that’s where the very creative Cassandra had a vision come to life!
Jarrod has been part of the Phillip Island & District Cricket Club since he was in primary school and Cassandra has been on the social committee. They both have a strong affiliation and sense of community with the club. After some creative planning and some fabulous vendors, this picturesque and tranquil space (a beautiful hidden gem) was turned into a wedding reception.
Cassandra shared something so ironic with them both: Jarrod would jokingly say, “One day we’ll get married at the cricket club” and we would laugh about it like it were impossible! The wedding and celebration of Cassandra and Jarrod didn’t become a Plan B. In the end, with all the twists and turns, it became their stunning dream wedding. The symbolism of where it was, who was involved and how it came about holds so much meaning to us that we will forever cherish and be grateful for.
One piece of advice
Your wedding day is yours, don’t be afraid to express yourself, tailor the experience to reflect you as a couple and step outside the norms of society. Remember, the most important part of the day is your marriage, and not everything about your wedding will go to plan, but it will all be okay. Just enjoy yourself and trust the process!
