What is the 'Black Tie Optional' dress code?
The dress code is Black Tie Optional. This means you have the flexibility to wear a tuxedo or a formal suit. For the ladies, a formal gown or a dressy cocktail dress is appropriate.
To help you find the perfect outfit, here are a few tips and links for inspiration:
For Men:
Tuxedo: A classic black or navy tuxedo with a black bow tie, white dress shirt, and patent leather shoes is always a perfect choice.
Formal Suit: If you prefer not to wear a tuxedo, a dark, well-tailored suit (black, navy, or charcoal) with a conservative tie and dress shoes is a great alternative.
For Women:
Formal Gown: A long, floor-length evening gown is ideal. You can choose a formal dress in a rich color or a classic neutral.
Dressy Cocktail Dress: A sophisticated cocktail dress that is knee-length or longer is also appropriate. Consider luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, or velvet to elevate your look.
Shoes: The ceremony will be on the lawn, so you may want to opt for wedges, block heels, or flats to ensure you're comfortable on the grass. Stilettos may sink!
Yes, there is limited parking available within Sydney Harbour National Park, close to the venue. Please note that a per-vehicle entry fee may apply, and spaces are on a first-come, first-served basis. Consider arriving early to secure a spot.

This day is a celebration of the great Bairaktaris and Farrell families, and we intend to raise a glass (or several!) to honour this momentous occasion.
If anyone is seen without a drink in their hand at all times, there will be trouble. You've been warned!
