Shara and Marcus’s New South Wales wedding featured a timeless YolanCris bridal gown, natural greenery tablescapes, and a perfectly modern restaurant reception. Shara and Marcus knew they wanted to get married in a place that reflected their easygoing vibes and modern aesthetic, so when they came across Biota Dining, they knew they had found their perfect reception venue.
