Rhys and Leilany's Wedding at The Lodge
On June 3rd, Rhys and Leilany tied the knot in a magical celebration at The Lodge—a dreamy country resort nestled in the rainforest hills of Jamberoo. But this wasn't just a wedding. It was an all-out, joy-filled holiday with their nearest and dearest—Euro vibes on the South Coast kind of magic.
From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this would be so much more than just a ceremony. Think forest air, champagne on lush lawns, a gelato cart under the stars, and a dancefloor that didn’t stop.
The day kicked off with Rhys and the boys getting prepped and ready, while Leilany glowed with excitement as her girls helped her get dressed. By 3:30pm, all eyes were on the couple as they said “I do” under the trees, followed by a beautiful confetti exit that kicked off the celebrations.
Golden hour was for portraits and prosecco, with the newlyweds stealing away for photos while guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the Champagne Lawn. As the sun dipped behind the hills, Rhys and Leilany returned to cut the cake and pour their iconic champagne tower.
The reception? A feast. Literally. Guests were treated to a buffet dinner, heartfelt speeches, and a packed dancefloor that opened right after the first dance. Cake and gelato rolled in by 9pm, followed by a bouquet toss that had everyone cheering.
The number one thing we hear from guests again and again? “That was the best wedding we have ever been to.”
And Rhys and Leilany’s wedding was exactly that.

Afterward, guests made their way to the Sunset Deck, where panoramic views of the Shoalhaven River and Morton National Park provided a magical backdrop.
