The bridal party will then enter and proceed up to the bridal table, which is set up on the stage if in the main hall. Once preliminary introductions have been made the MC will inform the guests that the following schedule will take place...
MENU’S The menu covers a wide range and caters for most palates including a good variety for vegetarians. Children’s menu is the same as the adults but the cost is 60% We predominantly do buffet style. If soup is the first course it is served to the bridal party and once that is done then each table will be asked to come into the buffet area where the soup & damper will be served out of the large cast iron camp oven. Alternatively, first course is Hors d'œuvres, which can be served to guests in the alfresco area under the willows. Straight after everyone has had their entrees we will be commencing the bush dancing so that everyone gets a chance to say “Hi” to each other. When everyone has got acquainted and built up an appetite from dancing then the bush feast begins. We allow the Bride and Groom the option of either being served at the table or for them taking the lead to the Buffet. The above format has been adopted by the venue with years of practical experience as it allows the full use of the band for their contracted period, and allows everyone to start enjoying the wedding function straight away and it allows the staff to clean up the soup and prep for dinner |

SPEECHES At Megalong its unconventional- some have the speeches as soon as they sit down, It is optional for guests to have champagne-
DESSERTS Then its time for desserts and speeches plus toasts. Dessert can be apple strudel and cream or a fruit platter.
BRIDAL WALTZ Then the bridal walk takes place with more dancing. Tea and coffee is now available plus a slice of the bridal cake.
FAREWELL TIME Once all the festivities have been completed its time to throw the garter and the bouquet and then the bride and groom bid every one farewell.
THE NEXT DAY Some couples choose to come back in the morning for a ‘Wedding Breakfast” - Champagne and orange juice alfresco style under willows with their guests.
HALL SETUP The hall is set up to reflect a typical Australian function. The walls are fitted with freshly cut gum trees.
TABLES Tables are set with dark green or white table cloths, natural flower centre pieces with rustic wood and table lanterns
BRIDAL TABLE We have an ivory table skirt, which is fitted with white cotton overlay which suits most brides needs and natural flowers and silver candle holders. The bridal table is set up on the stage with the band alongside to the right. This then allows maximum area for the dance floor and for staff to serve the bridal table. Its always up to the bride to choose exactly what she want, we simply offer suggestions.
PRE-DINNER We serve the appetizers out under the willow trees and this includes dips and pate’s, cheeses, crackers and suggest sherry or punch or champagne and orange juice.
ACCOMMODATION It is suggested that the bridal party book accommodation early. The rooms at the Guesthouse have an ensuited bathroom with double bed plus 0-4 single beds.
CHILDMINDING We don’t provide any child minding services most staff are pre- occupied with preparation for the event so it is recommended you contact the child minding services for this period if needed.
MUSIC The best thing about a wedding here is the music tends to really get people together and have fun. Our bands like to get you up early and mingle and the traditional “bush dance’ gets all the “old folks” up early to enjoy the wedding festivities. This lets all the relatives say -”Hi, haven’t seen you since you were little”- then later on in the evening the more modern music gets the younger ones up and going. It’s lots of rollicking and heel tapping fun.
COMMENTS “The best wedding over been to.-”. ‘Cant believe we had so much fun at a wedding’ “The staff were so wonderful-we had to give them a round of applause’.
