When Andy Dallisson and Alicia Turner were setting a wedding date, December 21, 2018 was an obvious choice – it was exactly six years since the start of their relationship. Selecting a destination for the event was just as simple; many of the couple’s favourite memories were formed on the Fleurieu Peninsula, so they knew it would be the perfect location for their nuptials. The only hard part was deciding on which venue, but Andy and Alicia settled on picturesque Allusion Wines at Yankalilla for their ceremony and Second Valley’s iconic Leonards Mill for the reception. 104
‘We visited Allusion Wines early last year and fell in love with the gorgeous views,’ says Alicia. ‘It was the perfect place for us to say our vows. Our best friend Phoebe completed a usual twelve months course to become a celebrant in just two months to make sure she was certified in time. Having her at the arbour was perfect and added to the relaxed and intimate atmosphere.’ Before and after the ceremony, guests enjoyed fresh seafood served alongside local wines and beer, while saxophonist Kym Mitchell played in the background. ‘The support of Mark and his family at Allusion really helped take the stress out of planning,’ says Alicia. ‘Mark sourced local beer, antipasto and seafood for our guests to enjoy and ensured the event was seamless for us.’
