The couple found that Potters’ exposed brick walls and rafters created an atmosphere that was both “relaxed and elegant”.

Beautiful Autumn Scenery

When newly engaged couple Liam and Samarah began their search for the perfect wedding venue in the outer east of Melbourne, they we delighted to stumble upon Potters Receptions because it ticked so many boxes.

“We were looking at a few venues around Warrandyte, and Potters jumped out,” Liam said.

“The scenery surrounding the venue was beautiful with all of the colours of the autumn leaves,”

“Potters offered multiple options in terms of ceremony location, so it meant that the weather wouldn’t be a huge factor on the day.

The couple also said Potters’ aesthetic “perfectly captured” their vision.

We know pets are often a huge part of our couple’s lives, and would never want them to miss out on being part of such a special event.

The moments that made the day theirs

Weddings are full of special moments, but Liam and Samarah were particularly moved when Liam’s mother surprised everyone by singing a song instead of giving a traditional mother-of-the-groom speech.

Beyond that touching gesture, the couple cherished the moment they committed to spending the rest of their lives together, while surrounded by their loved ones.

Liam and Sarah had their two beloved dogs as their ring-bearers, which made for a heartwarming moment when the furry friends trotted down the aisle of The Chapel, a personal touch that is often not possible at other venues.

The dream team that made it happen

Liam and Samarah’s magical day was brought to life by a team of exceptional vendors:

Michelle Cedro officiated the ceremony, which was full of fun and laughs, while Alysha from Hey Babe Photography captured every precious moment – even making Liam feel photogenic!

“Alysha took both our engagement and wedding day photos, and she is incredible,” Liam said.

The stunning floral arrangements and decor by Bloom Republica and HD Events transformed the venue into a personalised, gorgeous setting, with splashes of pink and red that perfectly complimented the bridal party’s outfits.

“Their attention to detail and ability to create stunning pieces made for the most beautiful reception room”.

As for music, violinist Evangeline Victoria added a touch of class and emotion to both the ceremony and reception, while DJ Shannon from Music with Memories kept the energy high throughout the celebration.
