Colourful Florals and Heartfelt Moments: Eliza & Jay’s Vibrant Rocklea Celebration

Eliza & Jay

Personalised. Unforgettable. Yours. At Rocklea Farm, we truly believe that every wedding should be a genuine reflection of a couple’s unique story. For Eliza and Jay, that story began over a decade ago when they were just sixteen years old. What started as a cheeky message sent by a mutual friend off Eliza’s phone in 2014 turned into a lifetime of communication – they haven’t missed a single day of talking since!

Their wedding day was the ultimate celebration of that ten-year journey, filled with pops of colour, convenient wet weather plan implementations, and a community of vendors who felt more like family.

About their Day

A Rainy Proposal Turned Magic

Jay’s proposal was as authentic as their relationship. While away for a few nights, Jay became remarkably insistent on a walk in the rain. Despite Eliza being in a bit of a “bad mood”, they eventually reached a stunning lookout. In an instant, the rain didn’t matter – Jay was secretly grabbing something from his bag, then quickly on one knee with a ring. The mood shifted to pure joy, and the walk back was spent giggling like high school kids again.

The Vision: Colour and Connection

Eliza has always had a passion for colour, and her vision for the day was clear: colourful, floral vibes with a relaxed and fun atmosphere and a country wedding aesthetic.

While every couple dreams of a perfect sunny day, Eliza and Jay’s wedding reminded us why having a solid “Plan B” is so vital. Even though they had to pivot to their indoor backup option, Eliza noted that seeing her vision finally come together as she walked down the aisle, surrounded by vibrant florals and her loved ones was her absolute favourite moment.

“That was the moment I knew it was happening and that my vision had truly come together.” — Eliza

Navigating the “Near Disasters”

No wedding story is complete without a few “did that really happen?” moments!

The Dress Rescue: In a true heart-stopping moment, a glass broke on a friend’s hand during photos, leaving glass and blood on Eliza’s dress. This is where the Rocklea Bridal Suite truly earns its worth – Eliza’s mum was able to use the suite’s facilities to get the stains out immediately.

A Feast to Remember

For their menu, Rocklea Farm offers flexible catering options which the couple chose a sit-down style curated by The Tipsy Colt. While the main meal was incredible, the real crowd-pleaser was a canapé hour standout: the mini cheeseburgers, which Eliza noted everyone absolutely loved.

DIY Without the Stress

Eliza and Jay embraced the “Rocklea Way”- the freedom of a DIY venue without ever feeling like they were on their own. Between our dedicated planners and the on-day coordination team, we worked behind the scenes to ensure the small details, and the big “Plan B” implementation on the morning of, were handled seamlessly.

Eliza’s Words of Wisdom:

“Trust the vendors that you have chosen! Remain open, honest and flexible with them and listen to their advice because they really do know best… Don’t stress the small stuff, the day goes too quickly to not embrace every moment!”

It’s hard to put into words just how thankful we are to Dave, Glen, Angela, and the entire Rocklea Farm team!

From the moment we stepped out of the car at the open day, we knew this was the place for us. The passion, dedication, and genuine care that Dave, Glen, and Angela have—not just for the couples and guests walking through their doors, but for the property itself—is truly something special. Angela was so attentive and helpful during our planning process, Dave was absolutely on the ball for making sure everything run exactly to plan and Glen was such a hit that our friends tried to adopt him into our group! The level of hospitality at Rocklea Farm is unmatched. No other wedding venue is cooking you and your guests cheese toasties at 11:30 pm!

At every step of the way, they went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come to life. No request was too big, no question too silly, and every interaction with them was met with warmth, enthusiasm, and an unwavering commitment to making our day perfect. They are true professionals with hearts of gold, and their attention to detail and love for what they do shines through in every aspect of the venue and experience.

Our family and friends are still raving about Rocklea Farm! They couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the space was, how seamlessly it allowed everyone to mingle, and just how good the vibes were throughout the entire day and night. The layout, the atmosphere, the relaxed yet beautifully curated rustic / natural setting made for the most magical experience. The glamping tents were another huge highlight. Our guests couldn’t believe how comfortable and luxurious they were—several of them even said it was the best night’s sleep they’d had in ages! Having that cozy retreat right on-site just made the whole experience even more special.

We truly hope we get the chance to return to this magical place again in the future as guests so we can fully soak in the experience from the other side! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding day beyond extraordinary. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our big day at Rocklea Farm!

Rocklea Farm is truly the most magical wedding venue, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our special day. From the stunning rustic charm of the property to the beautifully maintained grounds, every inch of Rocklea Farm provided the ideal backdrop for our wedding.

What made the experience even more extraordinary was the incredible support from Dave and Glenn. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine care for making our day perfect were unmatched. No request was too big or too small, and they were always there with a solution, a laugh, and calm reassurance.

The venue itself is breathtaking, but it’s Dave and Glenn’s dedication that truly sets Rocklea Farm apart. They made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable, offering expert advice and working tirelessly behind the scenes on the day to ensure everything was flawless. Their passion for what they do shines through in every aspect, and it’s clear they genuinely care about making every couple’s wedding day unforgettable.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting, and we’ll treasure the memories of our day forever. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning beauty, exceptional service, and the kindest, most hardworking team, Rocklea Farm is it. Thank you, Dave and Glenn, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more—you are simply the best!

I was MC for a wedding this week and involved in bump in/out as well. Dave, Glen, Jasmine and Sarah were fantastic to work with on the day. Nothing was too much trouble, they were lovely and calm and constantly asked me if they could help with anything. I even saw Dave blowing leaves off the courtyard twice during setup! They did a fantastic job managing the bridal party on the day so I didn't have to worry about their whereabouts or timing. And of course, the property is stunning and so versatile to meet a couple's preferences. Thank you so much. I would recommend Rocklea Farm to anyone.
