An outdoor ceremony overlooking the hills, a photo with a Highland cow and a dance floor beneath the fairy lights. Eileen and Patrick celebrated their wedding at Seclusions Blue Mountains on 16 October 2025.
We began with an acoustic duo for the ceremony, grew into a live trio and finished with DJ and sax. Three different line-ups, shaped around each part of their day.
Eileen and Patrick held their ceremony outdoors, with countryside beyond the lawn and white and soft blue flowers framing the timber arbour.
Tim and Jo performed as the ceremony duo. For the entrance, the couple chose “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, with instrumental and vocal versions performed live.
They walked back up the aisle to “Happy Together” by The Turtles, also performed live.
After the ceremony, Chris joined Tim and Jo to form the Duke trio for canapés, continuing the live music into the afternoon.
Moving from duo to trio gave the next part of the celebration a fuller sound while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. It’s a combination we love for weddings: music that adds warmth and energy while leaving plenty of room for conversation, congratulations and catching up with friends.
Meanwhile, the newlyweds made the most of Seclusions Blue Mountains’ grounds for their portraits. The photograph of Eileen and Patrick sharing a kiss beside a rather unbothered Highland cow deserves a special mention.
Eileen and Patrick chose “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli for their live reception entrance, carrying the classic songs into the evening.
We continued with live dinner sets between speeches and the meal, keeping the music part of the reception while leaving room for conversation.
For their first dance, Eileen and Patrick chose Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E”, played by our DJ.
Then it was time for DJ and live sax to take the celebration into party mode. The photographs capture the change beautifully: sax out front, hands in the air and guests dancing beneath the lights.
Their final-song choice brought a particularly personal touch: “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners. The perfect title to round out this celebration, followed by Natalie Cole’s “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” for the planned sparkler farewell.
