When Holly Kitchenham and Matthew Sheridan were exploring options to host their nuptials, they found Tiffany’s at Maleny and instantly fell in love.

The spectacular views of the Glass House Mountains through the huge chapel windows as the backdrop to the ceremony was the clincher.

The lead-up to the wedding saw a rainy forecast, however the weather gods were shining on them for their wedding day with blue skies and clear views right across the Coast.

Forty guests gathered and watched as the chapel doors opened to a vision of beautiful, smiling bride on the arm of her very proud mum.

An audible gasp was heard from the congregation as the stunning bride walked down the aisle.

Holly said she felt overwhelmed with so much love as the doors opened, and total joy knowing they were about to begin this next step of their life together.

The couple wanted their parents to feel included and loved so Holly’s parents were asked to do the traditional ‘giving away’ and Matt’s parents presented the rings.

Holly and Matt said their wedding day was absolute perfection – the atmosphere in the chapel created a sense of ease with only close friends and family present.

Maleny is well known for being a wedding photographer’s dream location and the couple took to the hills for a customary photo shoot with a beautifully presented canape hamper from Tiffany’s. Comically, this was also a hit with the local birdlife as the photographer lost her snacks to a cheeky swooping local that made for laughter-filled photos.

The bride and groom enjoyed time with their visiting relatives after the wedding day, before leaving for a romantic honeymoon to enjoy the sights and sounds of South Korea and Japan.
