The Manor Basket Range Wedding – Lisandra & Andrew
We are pretty exicited to share the enchanting love story of Lisandra and Andrew as they tied the knot at the magnificent Manor in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills. Their Manor Basket Range wedding was truly a fairytale come to life, and I can’t wait to take you on this delightful journey filled with love, laughter, and a touch of nerdy charm!
Preparation
A medieval castle with a touch of modern elegance – that’s the Manor in Basket Range for you! This breathtaking wedding venue set the stage for Lisandra’s bridal preparations, and it was nothing short of magical. As I entered the main keep of the castle, I found Lisandra surrounded by her wonderful bridesmaids, all giggles and excitement.
Lisandra looked absolutely radiant as she got ready for her big day. Her gown was a vision of lace and tulle, making her look like a princess straight out of a storybook. But what really made her preparations special were the customs they incorporated from the Nordic Astaru traditions. Offering mead and having a wedding sword added a unique and playful touch, making it an experience to remember for everyone involved!

Andrew, and his gang of groomsmen were being prepared in one of the far rooms of the hotel area. The atmosphere in their room was full of camaraderie with a healthy dose of nerdiness. With references to Warhammer 40k and Dragon Ball Z flying around, it was clear that these guys knew how to have a good time!
As a fellow Warhammer 40k enthusiast, I couldn’t help but join in the fun (and secretly wish they’d give me some pro tips on the game!). Andrew looked dapper in his suit, and his excitement was palpable as he eagerly awaited the moment he would see his beautiful bride walking down the aisle.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Ceremony
Their ceremony took place in front of the main castle keep, and it was an awe-inspiring sight. The love between Lisandra and Andrew was so evident as they exchanged their heartfelt vows in the presence of their closest family and friends.
Their ceremony included numerous, meaningful moments, including a welcome to country performed by a member of the family, the bridal party being lead by Andrew’s best man – (who really took his job seriously!), the offering of mead and a hand fasting ceremony.
Even after covering numerous weddings at the Manor, this was the first time the ceremony took place not in front of the little chapel, and it was a refreshing change! The grand castle provided a majestic backdrop that elevated the entire experience to a whole new level of romance.

Hayley and Sam held their ceremony at the small Cullen Bay performance space, overlooking the breathtaking beach. The couple had agonised over the seating positioning of their guests as the space wasn’t very large, but their 12 person bridal party certainly was!

During their vows I discovered a shared passion for Diablo with Hayley and Sam! We couldn’t help but chat about the upcoming Diablo 4 release, and that added a fun twist to their wedding day banter.

One of the toughest decisions couples have to make when planning their wedding is whether to book a DJ or live musicians. Naturally, much of the weight of the decision will come down to your budget and personal preferences. But whilst hiring a live band is certainly more expensive than hiring a DJ, live music adds an ambience to your big day that often makes the investment worthwhile.
To help you decide, here are four benefits to choosing live music for your wedding.
Groom chair dance
1. A live band generates energy and excitement
Weddings are day-long affairs and by the time the dancing portion of the night kicks off, it’s common for guests to be feeling low in energy. When you hire a live band to handle your music, you create an event within an event. The sense of anticipation grows as the band sets up, and the energy in the room is always raised when the musicians start playing. Live music is often more thrilling and engaging than recorded music, and it can generate an exciting atmosphere that is hard to match with a streamed playlist or DJ.
Groom dancing with guests
2. Live background music creates ambience
Not only can live music get people up and dancing, but it can also set the tone during the quieter portions of your wedding, such as during your drinks reception or throughout the wedding banquet. Live music such as a string quartet or solo violinist can create an elegant ambience, and make your big day feel extra special and romantic.
Dancefloor fun
3. Live performers deliver a one-of-a-kind experience
Live music can make your wedding truly unique. The very nature of live music is that no two performances are ever exactly the same. Plus, you can work closely with the band to come up with a custom setlist that perfectly encompasses your unique love story.
Sometimes bands are open to customising song lyrics to suit the happy couple. You might even be lucky enough to find a musician willing to write a unique love song just for your big day. Or why not learn a choreographed first dance to wow your guests? There are lots of fun ways to use live music to create that unique experience that will cement your big day in the minds of your guests for years to come.

4. Live bands bring quality and professionalism
Experienced wedding bands bring professionalism to your big day to ensure the musical aspects of your wedding run without a hitch. They know how weddings typically flow and how to set up without any stress or interruptions. With high quality equipment to ensure perfect sound quality, and their already established connections with wedding venues, photographers and other key parties, it can be surprisingly easy to arrange logistics. Plus, they know how to read the energy and atmosphere of a room and adjust their performance to keep guests entertained and having fun.
Guests dancing the night away
Choosing live music for your wedding
With 53% of wedding guests reporting that the reception is their favourite part of a wedding day, it’s wise to go all out to make your wedding reception special. When you choose live music, you’re bound to give your guests the most incredible experience and enjoy a fabulous party atmosphere to celebrate your big day.
Live music has the power to elevate your wedding reception to extraordinary heights. By opting for live musicians, you create an immersive and unforgettable atmosphere that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. Unlike recorded music or a DJ, live performances bring a vibrant energy that is infectious and captivating.
The skillful musicianship, the infectious beats, and the raw talent all combine to create a sensory experience that simply cannot be replicated! So hopefully this has convinced you into choosing live music for your wedding!
