2 | Mid-Western Living | WEDDING 2026/27 EDITOR’S WELCOME There was a time when weddings seemed to be getting bigger every year. Bigger guest lists. Bigger budgets. Bigger expectations. But something has shifted. Across the Mid-Western region, we’re seeing more couples choose something different. They’re choosing intimate celebrations over obligation. Shared experiences over extravagance. Meaningful moments over endless to-do lists. They’re gathering their favourite people around a long table, saying their vows beneath open skies, sharing local food and wine, and creating wedding weekends that feel less like an event and more like a memory in the making. And honestly, we couldn’t love it more. This special wedding edition of Mid-Western Living celebrates the beauty of doing things your way. Inside these pages you’ll meet the venues, makers, creatives and storytellers helping couples create extraordinary weddings throughout our region. You’ll discover intimate venues designed for elopements and micro weddings, talented local suppliers who pour their hearts into every detail, and inspiring ideas for creating a celebration that feels authentic, personal and uniquely yours. Whether you’re planning a wedding for two, twenty or two hundred, we hope these pages remind you that the most memorable weddings aren’t defined by how much you spend or how many people attend. They’re defined by how they make you feel. Here’s to love stories and moments you’ll remember forever. Happy planning. Page 8 Photography: Zoe Morley Photography
