We are so excited to invite you to join us at our wedding at The Jackson Ranch.  Located in Bawley Point, The Jackson Ranch sits halfway between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay.  It's a 2.5-hour drive from Canberra and 3.5-hour drive from Sydney.
You can find all the need-to-know details right here to help you plan for our big day, including directions to the venue, accommodation options, transport, the recovery and some FAQs.

We recommend guests book accommodation in Bawley Point, Kioloa and no further north than Ulladulla
Staying in either of these locations will make it easy for you to get the bus to and from the wedding.  They are also within walking distance to the beach for a freshen up on Saturday morning before our recovery lunch. 
For guests travelling to the South Coast on Friday morning, we suggest you contact your accommodation ahead of time to request an early check-in.  This will ensure you have sufficient time to get ready and catch the bus.
There are a range of accommodation options available at each location.

We are hosting a recovery at The Ranch from 11:30am onwards the following day.  A food van has been arranged to cater lunch, but we ask you to BYO drinks.  Feel free to drop in, or stay for the afternoon. 
Please make sure you RSVP if you plan on joining us for lunch. Kids are welcome.
We plan on lounging by the pool, playing some lawn games and catching up on all the stories from the day before!

When is the RSVP deadline?

The earlier the better! However, with it being an interstate wedding we can appreciate there are logistics that you will need to sort out first. If you could please RSVP by no later than Monday 25 September 2023. 

What is the dress code?

Formal attire. We hope you take the opportunity to celebrate our wedding day with us by getting a little glam and suiting up! We expect the ties will disappear when the dance floor opens.

Are kids welcome?

We love your kids, however, we would love for you to have the evening off to celebrate with us! Please reach out to us if you need some ideas for a babysitter. Kids are welcome to join us at the recovery the following day. 

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our ceremony and cocktail hour will be on the lawns outside, while the reception will be inside a marquee. In the event of rain, we have wet-weather plans in place. Ladies, consider your choice of footwear for the lawn and dance floor.

Are the ceremony and reception at the same venue?

Yes, they are! All the festivities are taking place at The Jackson Ranch. This means you can settle in and get the party started with us.

What time do formalities start?

The ceremony will commence at 3pm sharp, and the reception from 6pm. There will be plenty of food and drinks to see you through the night before the dance floor opens for business.

Do I need to bring anything to the recovery?

There is a pool on-site if you'd like to go for a dip - you'll just need to pack your swimmers and a towel. We'll provide the food and music if you can BYO drinks and good vibes. 

I've got more questions...

We hope that we have provided all the information you need for the weekend. However, if you have any specific questions, you can contact either of us directly.
