Hayley and Christian chose Recoleta (See also for a little lash of similarly considered soiree: this Cutler and Co wedding) in Melbourne to host the intimate Melbourne leg of their wedding with a small group of their closest. All photos at this iconic little slice of Melbourne made entirely on Kodak film (hire us as your film wedding photographer, if you want, it’s your life).









































About Recoleta, by Spring Street Events
For couples who want their wedding venue to be stylish without shouting about it, Recoleta by Spring St Events is a solid choice. Tucked into the city, it offers a kind of specialist nonchalance—where the decor flirts with vintage flair rather than falling into antique store overload (but also a fan of this flavour of unhinged maximalism, TBH).
As a property of Spring St Events, Recoleta doesn’t try too hard to impress, and that’s its charm. The views? They’re city views. Urban, gritty, and just right for those who appreciate a little edge with their elegance. No need for pastoral fantasies here – Recoleta knows what it is and owns it.
The menu is classic Spring St Events – good enough to keep everyone satisfied, that tickles entirely stealing the spotlight but is past the tongue just before it gets the chance to. The service? Efficient, without being overly attentive—just the way you want it when you’re aiming for understated cool.
In short, if you’re looking for a venue that says “we’re here to celebrate, not overcompensate,” Recoleta’s your place. It’s the perfect spot for those who prefer their weddings with a side of realism rather than over-the-top flair.
