The Federal Hotel saved the day!!!
My husband and I had our wedding reception here on 1 June 2021 and it was beautiful!
Cassandra put it together in just three days (after our original venue fell through) and it was better than what we'd originally planned. We had a huge table upstairs for our 38 guests, complete with flowers and personalised menus. Cassandra and the whole team were absolutely wonderful for the whole night.
I grew up in Bellingen and have spent more than half my life there, and this was the friendliness, support and community spirit I really wanted to share on my wedding day. The best part was that both me and my Mum (who collaborated with Cassandra) recognised Cassandra from years ago.
We also had a huge group there for dinner the night before the wedding - all the food was delicious, with generous portions, and there was a nice selection of wines, beers, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. Plus coffees and cake the day after our wedding.
Words and even pictures don't do justice to how much the team did and how much it meant to me, my new husband and everyone there.
THANK YOU to Cassandra and the entire team at the Federal Hotel! You helped us have the wedding we wanted in my homeland.
We're looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
