thoughts have turned from bali; too much choice was doing my head IN! not to mention the fact that i am too much of a control freak to hand over big decisions like 'which villa?' to a wedding planner in indonesia! fine if i could fly over & check out venues first-hand but budget does not extend to a scouting trip!
next thought was yanchep inn for a brunch perhaps, with a garden party vibe. i had it all worked out in my head (as you do) but the reality was less 'rustic and charming' and more along the lines of 'very much run down'. peeling paint, dingy carpet, bogan local drinkers and patchy lawns aside, the events 'coordinator' could not have been less helpful... i would not feel confident with her at the helm of my party, and not at all inclined to give the venue the business, quite frankly!
aaron was quite taken with yanchep's cave venue, which we came across when visiting the national park over two years ago... but wow, gets very expensive when the minimum package is
so... now thinking outside the square, and hunting for a venue that's non-weddingy (is that a word? it should be!) and informal and funky and serves delicious food or allows us to bring caterers in, and doesn't charge a bomb for its drinks package... but wondering if such a place exists??!
