Some love stories take their time to unfold, and Brent and Bec’s journey to ‘I do’ was no exception. Their friends had tried to play matchmaker years earlier, but fate had other plans. It wasn’t until a chance encounter on a night out in Canberra—and a little liquid courage—that the two finally exchanged numbers. From there, their shared love of banter and humour kept the sparks flying, and the rest, as they say, is history! Fast forward to September 2022, when Brent popped the question, and in June 2023, they welcomed their beautiful daughter into the world. By the time their wedding day arrived, this little family was ready to celebrate in style.

A Venue That Felt Like Home

When it came to choosing the perfect wedding venue, Brent and Bec knew they wanted a place that felt true to both of them. Brent, a country boy at heart, was drawn to rustic farm-style venues, while Bec envisioned a modern luxe aesthetic. Finding a venue that blended both seemed like a challenge—until they discovered Petrichor Farm.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Gundaroo, Petrichor Farm offered everything they were looking for and more. The elegant, modern reception space complemented the raw beauty of the farm, with its charming barn and rusty paddock truck adding to the atmosphere. It was the perfect contrast—sophisticated yet relaxed, modern yet timeless. And most importantly, it created an unforgettable experience for both them and their guests.

Moments That Made the Day

Every wedding has those moments that stay with you forever, and Brent and Bec’s day was filled with them. One of the most emotional highlights? Their daughter, just learning to walk, was escorted down the aisle by her two grandmothers—a memory that will be cherished for years to come.

Of course, no wedding day is complete without a little unexpected adventure. Torrential rain arrived just in time to bless them with years of good luck, but thanks to Petrichor Farm’s seamless wet-weather plan, nothing could dampen their spirits. The guests embraced the moment, and when “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette played, the dance floor erupted in laughter and joy. From the heartfelt speeches to the grand entrance with guests waving their napkins in the air, every part of the night was filled with energy, love, and celebration.

And then there was the food—oh, the food! The shared plate experience brought everyone together in the most delicious way possible. (Insider tip from the newlyweds: Get the lamb!)

More Than Just a Venue

For Brent and Bec, choosing Petrichor Farm wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about the experience. From the moment they met Haley and Darren , they knew they were in good hands. Their expertise, warmth, and genuine excitement for weddings set them apart. They weren’t just booking a venue; they were gaining a team that truly cared about making their dream day a reality.

With its mix of elegance and country charm, Petrichor Farm offered the destination wedding feel without the hassle. Guests could soak in the beauty of the farm, indulge in incredible food, and enjoy a stress-free, unforgettable experience. The addition of a bus service meant everyone could fully relax and celebrate—extending the party just that little bit longer.
