How do I RSVP and when by?
Attached to your invitation is a QR code where you can RSVP or you can visit the 'RSVP' section of this website.
I need to update one of my answers on the RSVP form. How can I do this?
You can update your answers anytime by texting Maddi or Kai.
What happens if I don't RSVP in time?
If we don't get an RSVP back by the date which we have provided, it will be marked as a 'no'. We will not be chasing you for a pending RSVP. Of course we will miss you celebrating with us, however, we have to provide total guest counts to the venue and other vendors in a timely manner and cannot accept late RSVPs due to this.
Can I bring a plus one?
No. Due to a number of reasons, we are keeping all aspects of our wedding intimate with our family and closest friends. If you have received a plus one, they will appear on your invitation and under your name when you RSVP.
Can we bring our children?
Invitations will be specific and will include the names of children who are invited. Please don't feel obligated you have to bring them.
Is there local accomodation or hotels?
Yes. Under the 'travel and accomodation' tab you can find these details.
Where should I book my accomodation?
We recommend booking your accomodation in the Coolangatta/Kingscliff area due to the number of options in the area, all of which are roughly 20 minutes from the wedding venue.
Are there any discounts for hotels?
Yes, there are.
Have you reserved rooms at one or more hotels?
To allow our friends and family the flexibility to choose the duration of their stay as well as keeping budget in mind, we have decided not to reserve any rooms. Instead, we have acquired discounts from multiple hotels. These codes will be displayed in the 'Accomodation' section.
Is there transportation to and from the wedding?
For your convenience, we will be arranging a charter bus to take guests to and from the wedding. Please let us know in your RSVP if you would like a lift with the charter bus.
What hotels will the bus be picking up from?
.
Can I drive myself to the venue?
Unfortunately, cabs and ubers are limited to drive to the wedding venue. There is limited parking available, should you wish to drive yourself and note that the drive does involve a narrow road up a mountain. It is not difficult and the road is well-maintained, but we recommend you take extra caution, particularly on your way back if you choose to drive.

What will the weather be like?
.
Is there a dress code?
We'd love to see our friends and family dress up with us. We are requesting formal attire for the afternoon/evening. Recommend wearing something comfortable, yet appropriate as in dresses for the ladies and jackets for the men. Please no jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. Also advise that ladies do not wear stiletto heels, as there are many grassy and pebble areas at the venue. Alternatively, flats, wedges or chunky heels would be perfect. If you have any questions regarding the attire, feel free to reach out to us.
Do you have a gift list or registry set up?
The most important thing for us is for you be there and to be present on our wedding day. Gifts are not a requirement from guests, but if you would like to give us something, we would appreciate any contribution. There will be a gift table inside the reception. We will have a small wedding registry, but don't feel obliged to bring anything other than yourselves. If you would rather not purchase from the registry, feel free to surprise us in your own way!
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Our ceremony will officially begin at 2:30pm. If you are travelling by car, please ensure you arrive at 2:00pm sharp. This gives enough time for you to park, walk over to the ceremony and be ushered to take a seat in the Chapel before the ceremony begins. We kindly ask that if you are arriving anytime after the ceremony starts, you head to the cocktail hour/reception area to decrease interruptions to the ceremony.
How will we be seated for the ceremony?
.
Can I take photos/videos during the ceremony?
Yes and no. We are wanting our ceremony to be 'unplugged'. This means that we are asking that all phones are switched off during the ceremony. There will be a short moment that will be formally announced by our officiant for you to take a quick photo once we are standing together at the altar. Our talented photographer, videographer and content creator will be capturing all of the special moments of the ceremony. After the ceremony is over and everyone has exited the Chapel, feel free to take as much content on your devices as you'd like.
Can I post photos/videos of the wedding to social media?
We strongly encourage our guests to take photos/videos during the entirety of our wedding (minus the ceremony). As this is a very special and intimate day for us, we will be asking guests to refrain from sharing content of us until we do. However, you are more than welcome to post content of yourselves and the beautiful venue. You can even use our hashtag #theloganswedding as it will make it easy for everyone to track down all the content on social media from our wedding.
Will the reception be indoors or outdoors?
Both our ceremony and reception will be held indoors. There is an opportunity for guests to spend time outdoors soaking in the breathtaking views whilst enjoying drinks, playing lawn games and having canapes duing cocktail hour. This will be a short walk to the Barn where our cocktail hour and reception will take place.
What time will the reception end?
.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary requirements, intolerances and allergies?
Yes, of course. But please let us know beforehand through your RSVP submission so we can make sure our venue bring your food to you directly.
What food will be served?
We have decided on a feasting menu which is a served share share style where you can fill your plate with selected items that are placed in the centre of each table. This ensures your bellies are full of food to your taste and portioning so you can dance the night away with us.
What's the bar situation?
The bar will include beer, cider, an array of red and white whites. We have also added on spirits for the last two hours of the drinks package. There will also be non-alcoholic options. The bar will open at cocktail hour and continue until 15 minutes before the end of the reception.
Is there anything extra I should know?
We know our friends are into using disposable cameras to take photos. Instead of purchasing a few and leaving them around the venue, getting them developed etc, we though about a more simple solution for our wedding guests. There will be a sign or two displayed in the reception area of a QR code you can scan with your phone. From your lock screen, you click on the app and instantly take disposable camera photos from your own mobile device. They will all be saved, stored and can be viewed the day after our wedding.
