Last night I attended the launch of the Ballarat Wedding Industry Network (BWIN). This not for profit group has been formed to unite as many of Ballarat's wedding industry professionals as possible, to help promote the industry as a whole, which is a marvellous idea, and long overdue. The goal is to provide a possible "one stop shop" for bridal couples, based on the BWIN website. After the official launch we heard from George Sossi, who is the head of Ballarat Regional Tourism, and it was interesting to hear the two entities can merge together to make Ballarat a place to destination weddings. And why not? This is a gorgeous town, with such a rich history, and where this history can be seen and experienced beautifully at a wedding event. I think as people who live in the region we are so lucky to have such great opportunities to marry amongst this all. I wish BWIN all the best, and very much look forward to being a beginning part of this amazing opportunity.
Ballarat has some of the MOST romantic heritage venues in Australia! We had our wedding at the Ballarat Turf Club which was fantastic for a big party like atmosphere, and we used all local services from bus, photography, flowers, dressmakers and celebrant. Everything you need is right here! I only wish we could get married all over again and do all the fun bits without all the stressful bits.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Louise! We are really so fortunate here, as we do have quite a range of venues & other options available. And quality providers :)
