2 weeks to go... we are so excited now, its so close! We are in final arrangement phase and all is good (touch wood).
Just a few details for you..
We have arranged for shuttle bus transport, following the wedding as the venue is a little tricky and taxis in Sydey are notorious for doing a 'no show'. From 11.20, the shuttle service will go between the venue and Manly esplanade and wharf and the last shuttle will drive in to the CBD where it will be easier to pick up a cab. The last Manly ferry leaves Manly at 12.50am and this is the link to the timetable if required:

We have organised a recovery gathering on Saturday 31st March at the Manly Wharf Hotel- Harbour Room. Drinks & canapes will be served from 12.30. Its a lovely location and right next to the ferry dock.

Can't wait to see you all.

The countdown...
Hi Everyone
Only about 6 weeks to go now (so Tilly tells me... as it's HER wedding).
A huge shout out to all of the lovely travelling guests who are flying in from all corners- Nath and I are really chuffed.
Now... a word to the wise... if you haven't booked your accommodation yet, you better get on to it. Its school hols here and everything is getting snapped up. If you need any help, just email or call one of us and we can guide you in.

Where to stay...
The most important thing for those travelling to Sydney for the wedding... book a place to stay! Our wedding date coincides with Easter school holidays I'm afraid so you will all need to get your skates on otherwise it's Manly Backpackers for all of you!
Our wedding venue and where we will be staying is close to the following areas (most are on the beach);
Manly
Freshwater
Mosman
Balmoral
Queenscliff
Chinamans Beach
Balgowlah
Chowder Bay
We have spoken to a couple of hotels in Manly, both of whom have doubles or family style rooms... we have stayed at both the Sebel and the Novotel and both are in excellent locations right on the Manly beachfront.
