Ringers Rest Functions Venue shone with the simplicity of lace & baby's breath when Darby & Yvette (with the support of their wedding planner Bec) brought together all their desired elements to create a very intimate and unique affair for their wedding day. Family and friends travelled from throughout Australia to share in this celebration of love and commitment right here in Mareeba. With Darby & Yvette themselves travelling in from the Northern Territory.
Their day commenced at the Emerald Lodge, followed by "First Look" photos prior to the ceremony, before arriving at the "Hitchin' Rail" to say "I Do". Whilst guests enjoyed refreshments, Darby & Yvette strolled down to the nearby paddock for further photos as the sun set. Our horses were not shy in coming up to investigate.
Underneath a gorgeous night sky, adorned by a fairy light canopy, the evening rolled on with much fun and frivolity. Whether guests were sitting or dancing within Ringers Rest Venue, out by the fire, or lounging on the custom made hay bale lounge, all remarked on how special Darby & Yvette's wedding had been and in such an iconic location.
Darby & Yvette eventually headed off to the secluded Ringers Rest "Glamping" Retreat to catch some much needed "rest", before waking to the serenity of the bush and once again joining many of their guests at the venue for a scrumptious cooked "Recovery Breakfast" provided by Ringers Rest staff. Given everyone had travelled from afar, this was a perfect time to sit, chat and reminisce together.
It was an honour to be an integral part of Darby & Yvette's celebrations and to work in with them, their family & friends and their wedding planner Bec, to help bring their dream to reality.
Thank you Darby & Yvette, for choosing to celebrate with us!
Warmest regards,
The Ringers Rest Team - RRx

Finally, from the couple themselves....
Tammy and Dave were wonderful, they are so helpful and nothing was too much to ask. The venue is simply stunning and a beautiful backdrop for any wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, and everything that we could have dreamed of. Tammy was there with me organising and assisting me every step of the way, from organising hay to hosting our recovery breakfast! The breakfast was such a great chance to catch up with family and friends after a wedding day that flew by. We stayed in the glamping tent on the wedding night and wish we could have stayed longer! No detail was missed, they had hot water to bathe and waking up looking out at our own little piece of bush as husband and wife is something we will never forget.
