Ashleigh & Jarrod’s Q Station Manly Wedding

A wedding at Q Station, Manly

Ashleigh and Jarrod married at Q Station in Manly on 3 January, with Duke Music performing for their ceremony and reception.

The couple chose Q Station for both parts of the day. Jarrod and his groomsmen wore dark-green suits, with light-pink and white flowers in their buttonholes.

Ashleigh’s leading ladies

Ashleigh and her leading ladies sipped champagne in matching floral pajama sets before dressing in their dark teal green gowns. The foliage on the property perfectly complemented their attire and looked beautiful next to Ashleigh’s gown—an ivory, spaghetti strap, wrap dress with floral embellishments. Keeping it light and elegant, Ashleigh wore her hair down in waves and completed her look with a long veil.

“Maps” for the waterfront ceremony

A geometric backdrop framed the waterfront ceremony. We performed an acoustic version of “Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs as Ashleigh walked down the aisle.

The signing songs were “This Must Be the Place” by Talking Heads and “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding. The couple walked back up the aisle to our live version of “A Night to Remember” by Shalamar.

Live music for the reception

After snapping a few shots with Days Like These Photography, the couple and their guests moved into their reception… Not to be started without a grand entrance from the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and the couple themselves!

“Duke Music were absolutely amazing at our wedding at Q Station! They played a beautiful acoustic set at our ceremony, kept the mood through the canapés, dinner and between speeches, and set the dance floor alight for the rest of the evening with a three-piece band! Josie was super professional in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. She had loads of great advice for the day, and allowed us to pick songs from a wide repertoire, giving all the special moments a personal touch. We couldn’t recommend Duke Music more for your wedding or event.”Jarrod Bird – Married at Q Station Manly

The band continued with live music for the party.
