Fun Stuff

Meet Jayne and Jordan, a couple who chose to tie the knot in a place that's been part of their love story for almost a decade.

For Jayne and Jordan, the South West has always felt like a home away from home. Throughout their nine years together, they've found themselves returning time and time again, no matter the season. From beach days and winery visits to afternoons spent at Eagle Bay Brewing Co, it's a region filled with special memories.

"We've been coming down south throughout the nine years we've been together, and it's become a really special place for us," they shared. With so many memories already made here, it only felt right to add one more — their wedding day.

– Why did you land on Eagle Bay as your venue?

Eagle Bay has been a favourite of Jayne and Jordan's since they first started visiting together at 21, becoming a regular stop on almost every trip down south.

When it came time to find their wedding venue, Eagle Bay ticked all the boxes. From the beautiful ceremony location to the outdoor garden overlooking the lake and farmland, it had everything they were looking for.

"We spent a day visiting a few venues, but Eagle Bay was definitely our standout. As soon as we saw it, we could picture our whole day there."

Of course, the amazing food, drinks and friendly team made the decision even easier. And as Jayne put it, "I love the Bubbles Blanc at Eagle Bay, so that also helped!"

– How did you choose your vendors?

With a little help from Eagle Bay's recommended vendor list, Jayne and Jordan had a great starting point for bringing their wedding vision to life.

For them, it wasn't just about finding talented people, but finding vendors who felt like the right fit.

"We wanted people who felt relaxed, genuine and easy to work with, and we were really lucky that every vendor we came across was amazing."

Surrounded by an incredible team of local creatives, the planning process felt that little bit easier, allowing them to focus on enjoying the lead-up to their big day.

– A favourite memorable moment on your special day?

One of their favourite moments came just after the ceremony, when they walked into the garden together and saw everything set up for the first time.

"It was honestly beyond our expectations," they shared.

But beyond the beautiful setting, it was the feeling of having all their favourite people together in one of their favourite places that made the moment so special. A chance to take it all in and appreciate what the day was really about.

– Top South West to-dos on your wedding weekend?

With years of South West trips under their belt, Jayne and Jordan have plenty of local favourites.

Beach walks and swims at Smiths Beach and Eagle Bay are always at the top of their list. They also kicked off their wedding celebrations with pre-rehearsal drinks at Eagle Bay Brewing Co, the perfect way to get everyone together before the big day.

Their other recommendations? Lunch at Fishbone, a round of golf at Dunsborough Lakes for the guys, and a recovery lunch or drinks at Aravina Estate the following day.

And no trip down south is complete without a sausage roll from Dunsborough Bakery and a coffee from Merchant & Maker.

– One key bit of advice to future couples in the lead-up to their wedding day?

"Enjoy the process and soak it all in, it all goes by so quickly."

Jayne and Jordan's advice is to make the most of every moment, from the planning right through to the big day itself.

And when it comes to the details? Trust the team.

"Trust the team at Eagle Bay, they genuinely are the best and will make sure everything comes together perfectly on the day!"

– Song that got everyone up on the dance floor?

Anything Pitbull!

Safe to say, a little Mr Worldwide was all it took to get the party started.

– Your go-to beer and wine from Eagle Bay?

A classic Eagle Bay Kolsch and a glass of Bubbles Blanc. Two favourites we can definitely get behind.
