Overview

2018 is off to a pretty stellar start in the love arena. Dozens of same-sex couples have already said "I do" following the historical marriage equality bill finally passing through Australian parliament in December, and there will be countless more to follow. Indeed, in Sydney, Sydney Festival held one heck of a wedding reception to celebrate.

Unsurprisingly, many wedding vendors are probably rubbing their hands together in glee, excited at the prospect of all of the impending nuptials. In Carlton North, a generous bunch are having a different reaction. Putting their expertise to good use — and their happiness about the fact that all lovebirds can now get hitched — Park Street Dining has enlisted a number of local vendors to give away a free wedding.

The giveaway, valued at $20,000, is open to all couples in Victoria. The wedding will take place on August 25, 2018, as a five-hour event for up to 70 people with all the trimmings. Celebrant Megan Thompson will make things official, while floral designer Pomp & Splendour and rental business SAS Events will help jazz up the space. As well as the venue, Park Street Dining will provide canapes, an open bar (with selected wine, beer and bubbles) and share-style dining — here's hoping the cicchetti and handmade pastas it's known for make an appearance.

Finally, photographer Georgia Verrells will be on-hand to capture all of the special moments, and printing company Thirds Studio will turn six snaps into high-res prints. Really, all the lucky couple need to do is get dressed and turn up. Who said planning a wedding was stressful?

Winners will be announced on March 15. To enter the giveaway, visit psweloveweddings.com.au. Make sure to also like Park St's Facebook page and follow the other vendors on Instagram (you'll want to simply for the killer wedding inspo).
