The  Details

Just a little helpful reminder...

We would recommend that if you haven’t already, lock in some accommodation as national school holidays commence the week of our wedding.

The best area, which is close the wedding venue is Manly. We have a number of rooms and family suites reserved at The Novotel (Manly Pacific - right opp. beach). Just quote Prue Thomas & Nathan Birch wedding.

Alternatively, all the big hotels are located in The Rocks & CBD which is a short ferry ride to Mosman or Manly.

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.

Save The Date

We have 10 years under the belt, 2 beautiful children, one brown dog, one moody cat, several fish (but if you talk to Tilly they are all one & the same!!), bought & sold houses, immigration status in 2 countries and now... we have finally stuck a stick in the sand for the wedding. Who said 'it will never happen'!!

We are very happy to announce that on the 30th March 2012 we will become Mr & Mrs Nathan Birch.

You should have all received your Save The Date cards if you're reading this blog. Big tick on the to-do list...

Whether you live in gorgeous Sydney or are making the huge (and much appreciated) journey over here, we want this blog to give you all the info you're going to need to help us celebrate.
