Blank Canvas Reception Venue

21st April 2015

As a writer, I love a blank page. That moment before I start typing, before I even know where my fingers hovering above the keyboard will take me is my favourite. I take a deep breath, sometimes pause a moment, and then something happens – my mind clicks in, and it all starts coming out. Sometimes in small parts, sometimes it starts with one idea or concept and grows. Sometimes is floods uncontrollably, and I need to take a moment to gather myself and organise my waves of thoughts crashing into my consciousness.  This is why I love Maleny Retreat….

Venue Review: Weddings at Tiffany’s

10th February 2015

Straight up, I’m pretty sure anybody who visits Maleny wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s, will look no further for their dream wedding venue. It is so ridiculously perfect it’s not even funny.  On site is a gorgeous non-denominational chapel, which sits in the perfect position to take in panoramic views of the Glasshouse Mountains. A huge wall of windows looking out at that priceless view creates the altar backdrop. I particularly love this feature of Tiffany’s, because it has that outdoors-in feeling, giving you the best of both worlds without the risk of your hair being blown about or drizzle putting…
