By early evening at Harty Estate, the cake was being cut just before the speeches, with the dance floor already waiting for later. Casey and Tim’s summer wedding in July 2022 had that relaxed island feel, with everyone gathering at the venue well before the outdoor ceremony began.
Morning
Casey got ready at the venue from late morning, which gave the day a settled feel before guests started arriving. Tim spent the early part of the day with his best man, then made his way over in the afternoon, ready for the ceremony at Harty Estate.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place outside, with the Harty setting doing a lot of quiet work in the background. Casey was already at the venue through the day, while Tim arrived ahead of the ceremony, giving everyone time to gather before they said their vows at 4.30pm.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
After the ceremony, the reception stayed at the same place, keeping everything close and relaxed. The cake cutting and short speeches came before the evening food, with words from the best man, the groom, and the bridal party bringing a personal feel to that part of the day.
Evening
The first dance came shortly after the speeches, followed by another slow song to keep guests on the dance floor a little longer. With an evening hot buffet planned for 7.30pm, the night had a simple, sociable shape that suited the setting and the people there.
