And the day continued just as perfectly. After the ceremony, the
couple stopped off for a secret ‘pit stop’ at Normanville Surf
Lifesaving Club and shared a beer at the beach.
But Andy and Alicia both agree the best part of their wedding was
having their ‘nearest and dearest’ together around one table at the
reception to celebrate the occasion.
They chose Leonards Mill after a family dinner at the restaurant,
where they were impressed by the beautiful local food, great wine and
friendly service. It was exactly what they were looking for to celebrate
their nuptials. And the restaurant certainly didn’t disappoint. Wedding
guests enjoyed a three-course meal, which showcased local fish,
duck and beef. Dinner was served out on the deck under lighting
provided by MASE Event Hire + Design. ‘Leonards Mill owners Hayley
and Iain were outstanding in their planning and ensured the reception
was managed beautifully,’ says Alicia. ‘They catered to our favourite
tastes and accommodated all the slight changes to plans on the night.’
Many of the guests had come from interstate and overseas and made
holiday plans around the wedding, so the celebrations continued
for several days. The newly weds enjoyed showcasing the region
they loved with a golf day at the Links, swimming with dolphins at
Normanville Beach and wine tasting at McLaren Vale.
