Roz and David
Katz on Belongil
Byron Bay
Byron was in desperate need of some stunning autumn weather, and May 12th delivered it to the very lucky guests of Roz & Dave.
The wet weather plan was in place, but fortunate for all the clear skies and warm temps meant everyone could meander through the private track to Belongil Beach and enjoy a knock out beach ceremony. Waitpersons served in the sand with a makeshift bar, then one & all returned to the house for the reception.
We decided to have some canapes circulating on platters, while the majority were cooked off the BBQ and guests could come visit our chef in action – it complemented the beach side theme perfectly and showcased the great Aussie BBQ to a large and impressed Kiwi contingent.
Lunch followed in the garden, under the fold of a giant Bedouin style tent. Staff assisted to flip and served the whole baby snappers at the table, and nominated guests sported butchers’ aprons to help carve up the half day braised beef.
The sticky date & pecan wedding cake was a big hit for pudding, and the crew signed off at the end of the day with our trademark Caramelised Bangalow Ham on the table.
