Some couples leave things to chance.

Claire is not one of those people.

Before we even talk about the architecture, the styling, or the dance floor that stayed packed all night, we need to talk about the fact that Claire hired not one, but THREE different Etsy witches to cast a very specific weather spell for her wedding day. 

The brief? No rain. Partly sunny. Somewhere between 22 and 27 degrees.

And quite surprisingly, it worked.

Some wedding days are perfectly planned. Others are perfectly felt.

Bronte and Shaun’s wedding sat firmly in the second category.

From the very first message Bronte sent, it was clear they weren’t interested in tradition for tradition’s sake.

They wanted a day that felt upbeat, intimate, family-orientated, and full of movement. Just a modern love story unfolding naturally, with great food, great energy, and the people who matter most right there with them.

If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that feels like a romantic escape to the Italian countryside (minus the long-haul flight) then Pietro Gallus Estate will be your dream Tuscan-inspired venue.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Warrandyte South, just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, this family-owned estate blends the rustic charm of Tuscany with the elegance of fine dining, award-winning spirits, and stunning views over their olive grove.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration in the Olivigna restaurant, an intimate wedding of up to 60 people in the La Terrazza, or a chic family-only private dinner in The Lounge, here’s your complete guide to weddings at Pietro Gallus Estate.
