The Napa Valley will always be a special place
for Jess and Jay.
In September last year the couple were holidaying
in the U.S. when after a day of wine tasting and
a beautiful dinner afterwards, Jay got down on
one knee and asked Jess to marry him.
After 11 years together they were married by
Celebrant, Victoria Blechynden at The Reserve,
Seppeltsfield Road on December 16.
They were later joined by 150 guests for a reception
catered by Louise Haynes in their honour at the
same venue.
The two tier wedding cake featured vanilla
with lemon curd and red velvet with buttercream.
From sourcing as much local produce in the menu
to the wine list and dancing the night away under
the stars the couple gave their guests the best
Barossa experience.
For her special day Jess wore a Suzanne Harward dress
whilst her attendants, Elyse Dirckze (maid of honour),
Mary O’Callaghan, Sophie Slattery, Christie Gowans
and Cate Sim wore a mix of dresses in the colour
palette of neutrals, blush tones, champagnes and
dusty pinks.
Best man was Sam Pfeiffer and groomsmen were
Michael Taylor, Henry Slattery, Jenson Mader and
Darcy Daniher.
Jay and Jess said, “Having their family and friends
together in one place was by far the best decision and
having their dog Cooper in the ceremony nearly stole
the day when he decided to stop halfway down the
aisle and roll over”.
Jess is the daughter of Peter and Jo O’Callaghan
of Melbourne and Jay is the son of John and
Jill Nash of Nuriootpa.
