Not everyone has the chance to get hitched amidst the stunning view of a winery or vineyard. Would you like to say your vow with a kiss with the iconic Brokenback Mountain Range in the distance as a backdrop? The vast expanse of the Hunter Valley is as wide as the eyes can see.
A newlywed may choose to arrive at the wedding scene in style – by helicopter, Jaguar-E type, Mustang Shelby, or Lamborghini Veneno.
