From the moment Bec + Dan stepped into Ancora, they knew it was the perfect place to say “I do.” With ocean views, a bright white aesthetic, and a team that felt like instant friends, it offered everything they were looking for and more. Their day was filled with heartfelt moments and high vibes, from a garden ceremony and champagne tower to an epic share-style feast and sunset deck celebrations. With margaritas flowing and their loved ones all in one place, Bec + Dan created a wedding day their guests are still calling the best they’ve ever been to. Read on to hear more about the day from our bride, Bec.

The Wedding Style ~

“Modern, laid back and fun.”

The Wedding Style ~

“Ancora was the first wedding venue we viewed, we were very nervous and weren’t to sure what to expect but as soon as we walked inside we were sold. Our first initial meeting was with Emily, who we just clicked with right away and ended up booking her as our celebrant! she was so patient with any questions or concerns we had, very help with information and able to provide a mock up of the day on the spot and send it through within hours. Ancora offered us the bright white wedding we wanted with multiple options of onsite ceremony or off site, beatiful veiws of the ocean and in an amazing location for our interstate family travelling. The same day we went a view another 3  locations, on the drive home we booked Ancora, nothing compared.”

The Best Part ~

“Am I able to say everything? From the moment I stepped out of the car to marry the love of my life everything was perfect, from the on the day coordinator being a saving grace and assisting in any way, the gorgeous garden ceremony, the champagne tower, cocktail hour on the deck, dinner and after party. our friends and family said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, enough said!”

Fave Dish on the Menu ~

“We went with the share menu, Fried chicken, squid and roast lamb was favourite – we had guests peeking over to other tables asking if they were going to finish their plates!. can’t forget the beers and Margaritas.”

Share a Special Moment ~

“Before our entrance into the reception, we were standing on the deck watching our bridal party do their entrance. Looking into with gorgeous room with our amazing family and friends, all here the celebrate our love.. was a pinch me moment, a feeling I will never forget Daniels; our champagne tower, singing and dancing to one of our favourite songs surrounded by our guests cheering us on.

The staff were so lovely and accommodating, they catered to everyone’s needs on the day.The coordinating team had to deal with a very indecisive bride months leading up to the day who changed multiple things every week. food, drinks, set up. I just want to say thank you to everyone who made our day unforgettable.”
