THE ONE-STOP SHOP FOR WEDDINGS

Weddings are fast becoming one of the most expensive, stressful and time consuming events in a couple’s life with brides and grooms having to search the city for the best entertainers, dress shops and venues A solution to all these problems is  a one-stop shop for couples planning a wedding. The Matilda Bay Restaurant is doing just that by holding its yearly Wedding Showcase on September 19. This showcase is a fantastic, stress-free way for couples planning a wedding as it features everything from entertainers to cake decorators and obviously the venue. Conny Moosmann, the Event Coordinator at Matilda Bay Restaurant, says they are expecting around 400 people judging by the turnout to last year’s turn out. “As we are located right on the Swan River, we are a very popular venue to hold weddings, “says Ms Moosmann. “Because our showcase features DJ’s, cake decorators, photographers, entertainment, make-up artists and obviously food and wine tastings, it makes it easier having everything a couple needs in one place.” Ms Moosmann says that everything on the night is set up wedding reception style so the couples can see how it will look on their night which they may not have been able to picture before. Donna Kearney, Senior Therapist and Business Owner of The Beauty Studio, is showcasing their makeup and skin services for the second year on Friday night. “Conny came to us last year and asked if we were interested in coming along so we did. It was pretty successful so we thought we would do it again,” says Mrs Kearney. “We obviously showcase our bridal makeup but we also offer a bridal package six to eight weeks leading up to the wedding which mainly includes skin treatments for brides-to-be.” Mrs Kearney says that the backdrop of the Swan River is definitely what draws people to the venue. “It’s just such a stunning view. This location is very hard to beat,” says Mrs. Kearney. With the stunning backdrop of the Swan River, combined with caring staff and mouth-watering food, Matilda Bay Restaurant is an exotic, postcard style wedding location right here in Perth.
