Micro-weddings are the perfect mix of intimate, heartfelt and stress-free—and they’re more popular than ever!

Why wait for Saturday? Mid-week weddings are increasingly popular for couples.

More couples across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and beyond are embracing the double-wedding trend—an intimate legal ceremony followed later by a larger celebration. It’s the best of both worlds: heartfelt vows shared in a quiet, relaxed setting, followed by a joyful party where everyone can let loose. By separating the ceremony from the reception, couples reduce stress, gain flexibility, and create a wedding journey that feels authentic. Whether it’s a simple elopement now with a big dance floor later, or a two-day festival of love, the double-wedding proves there’s no single way to say “I do.”

One of the most comforting truths about modern funerals is this: there are no strict rules. While tradition still holds meaning for many, today’s funerals can be as unique as the life they honour.
