Planning a cocktail style wedding reception in Melbourne

This Saturday just gone I had the pleasure of Djing and MCing for newly-weds Jimmy & Michelle Loader at the stunning All Smiles venue at Melbourne's Docklands. It's a brilliant venue for a cocktail style wedding reception. Great service, great food and a view over the harbour is stunning. Especially when the sun goes down and Melbourne begins to sparkle.

Jimmy & Michelle decided to have their ceremony right there at the venue overlooking the harbour. This was such a smart move. Rather than having to deal with logistics and limousines, they could relax and spend time with their photographer.

One added advantage of being so close to the city, is that should you be looking to party on after the reception, you're just minutes away from the CBDs many venues, and there's no shortage of taxis and accommodation.

I can't thank Jimmy and Michelle enough for trusting me with their wedding reception. This was my first time at All Smiles (Docklands) and I hope to be back soon. (Check out the picture of the candy bar and you'll see why).

Big thanks to Nicole from Nicole Williams Photography for the awesome shot of Jimmy & Michelle by the water at Docklands. Please be sure to check out her work should you be looking for a truly professional photographer for your next event.
