Laura and Kael did their wedding day their way. Photos on the sand before the ceremony, a riverside celebration that snuck in a surprise German bedsheet-cutting tradition, a champagne tower that marked the moment the pre-wedding stress officially dissolved, and a cocktail-style reception that was, by everyone’s admission, more of a party. The Mexican menu was a hit (Kael’s verdict: the tacos), the dance floor was well and truly used thanks to a friend on the decks all night, and somewhere in the middle of it all, the bride found her way behind the DJ booth. Modern, colourful, and completely their own, this one set the bar high.

The Wedding Style ~

“Modern with a touch of colour.”

Why Ancora ~

“Great white canvas and everything close by.”

The Best Part ~

“The food, the wedding coordinator on the day was unreal, the dance floor, and the drinks.”

Favourite Thing on the Menu ~

Laura: “can’t say, I barely ate.” Kael: “the tacos”

A Special Moment ~

“The champagne tower was a very special moment, all the stress from the days before were gone and we were able to start the party.”

More About the Day ~

“It was just an overall amazing day, having almost all my family here with us to celebrate the special day. The weather was beautiful and I was surrounded by the best people. The bedsheet cutting was a surprise and integrated a bit of German culture which was very important to me and my family. We loved the food and drinks. And appreciated that we were able to have our friend DJ all night to ensure everyone used the dancefloor to its fullest.”
