Thank you Taighan and Var for trusting us to pull together your elopement here at the Foley farm. Mother Nature sure turned on the heat on this leap year, the day you chose to say ‘I do’ in front of your 3 boys and your family.
My favourite part was when you cooled off in the water after your guests had left! Don’t worry we did exactly the same after you left!

Thank you as always to our dream team of local vendors that made this day possible

When Jerica and Tom first contacted us it was about using Sheree's celebrancy services (possibly around the Coffs area) we soon learned about their strong connection to nature and desire for an intimate ceremony…. an elopement at The Foley Farm just felt like the perfect place for them to get hitched.

Jerica and Tom are truly kindred spirits - they went on a 13km run in the rain at Springbrook National Park as one of their first few dates and both loved it!!! On top of being physically very fit (and objectively very good looking!), they are both passionate and ambitious, and love to share banter and stimulate each other intellectually.

It felt like Jerica and Tom are the definition of a well rounded couple who are so perfectly aligned and suited and are set to achieve great things as a partnership.

They are also incredibly sweet and watching how happy they were, with their parents and Jerica's grandmother there fully supporting their relationship and decision to elope was heartwarming.

Thank you for letting us host your special day - it really was so much fun!

The Divine feminine is the feminine aspect of the divine power that connects and binds the earth together.

‘Why get married in secret’ you may say? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Family and friends usually want the best for you, but sometimes that means wanting the best for themselves too (wanting to be at your wedding!) 😝

If you elope in secret nobody can try and change your mind and convince you that you should have them there 🙊

Who doesn't love a good outdoor fire?

Hey Strangers! 👋 you may be wondering where we have we been lately 🤔

Farmer Dave has been busy as always running the farms, cattle work, moving cattle (and making sure they are happy, healthy and fed) slashing/aerating paddocks, cutting firewood for the cold months ahead, the list goes on…

As for me (Sheree) well I have just been a little bit busy marrying couples all over the Mid North Coast. 🫶🏼

As we move into Winter we are going to be running some winter wedding specials for limited dates in July and August ❤️

So stay tuned everyone!

F is for Foley 😂

Flashback to when we opened the farm up to friends to come and get a feel for the space and the vision we had for hosting Elopements here. I can't remember whose idea it was to do this pose but we sure had a lot of fun! 😂

Something amazing we have seen since living on the Mid North Coast is just how many talented wedding vendors there are. You really don't have to travel far to get a team of amazing talent working together to make your day extra special.

We have only been married for 5 years (together for 10) but between our 4 parents there are nearly 90 years of marriage. From what we have seen the secret to a long marriage seems to be compromise, dedication, communication and the ability to laugh together.

Since we moved to the farm we have seen bushfires, drought, floods, we have lost loved ones and navigated grief, we have been through it. And (most of the time) we have still managed to have fun and make each other laugh.

We are not perfect, but but we are perfect for each other ❤️

One of the best things about eloping here at The Foley Farm is that you have time to get the most amazing photos like these taken by the talented

There are numerous places for unique pics at the farm.

Our offering is a 2.5 hour package, just enough time to get hitched and get some lovely pics taken without being rushed back to guests who are awaiting your arrival - which can be so lovely but also overwhelming 🥹❤️

Some couples have chosen to meet up with friends and family for a night out after the ceremony which can be a fun way to celebrate, others opt to have a romantic night for just the two of them - sitting in their love bubble for a bit before sharing news of their marriage with everyone else.

Does the idea of a wedding seem overwhelming/expensive/lots of work? 🥹
Getting married really doesn’t have to be hard.

It can be beautifully simplistic ❤️

Why consider eloping?

People elope for a variety of reasons, including wanting to keep their wedding simple and intimate, wanting to save money, or wanting to have a unique and memorable wedding experience. Eloping can also be a way for couples to avoid family drama or other complications.

We always suggest couples keep their elopement top secret. 🙊This really helps with not having to manage unwanted expectations or opinions from others.

Keep it simple, keep it just about the two of you. And we promise absolute discretion when you book with us - so the cat won't get out of the bag!🤐

So grateful for the recognition that comes with starting a new business!

JAS & MATT got hitched!! 🍾

Every guest at this secret intimate elopement is in this picture (plus Sheree!) Bride, groom, children and some best friends ❤️

As we stood on this magical Gumbaynggirr country we all witnessed true love at its best.

Jas and Matt never planned to fall in love. But fall they did. Quickly! Their connection was strong and it was instant. Then they built a life together and few years later here we are. The universe brought them together to have two beautiful girls and to parent Jasmine’s lovely boys. They are just the most beautiful little family unit and we felt so honoured to be a part of their special day.

A team of ladies (plus David) made today happen and we couldn’t be more grateful that we live in a town with such talented people and take care of land that is so beautiful ❤️

Hey folks! 👋 It's been a while... a lot has been happening lately. Sheree has been flat out with her celebrant duties all over the Nambucca Valley and beyond, playing catch up for all the weddings that were postponed last year. David has had a knee reconstruction which has put him out of action for a while... and as far as the rain, well it's really taken a toll on the beautiful Gumbayngirr country we take care of here. Mother Nature has been asserting her authority! 😳

Luckily we didn't have any elopements during this time, but we do have a few coming up this year. So this crazy weather did get us thinking about how much we need a back up plan for when the weather takes over our plans. This pic is of the Argents Hill Hall. The committee (which we are part of) has been working hard to clean up the hall, we have serious renovations happening this year, and it's going to be turning into a lovely little rustic wet weather option if the need arises.

Our service offering on the property is still for a small, elopement style package for up to 10 people, but the hall can also be hired out as a wedding reception option which we can help facilitate if you're looking for a small, country style wedding.
I’ve posted a few pics of an event we held on Friday night - The Festival of Small Halls - gives you a feel for how the space can be used.

If you elope with us you may just end up stopping your photo shoot to get close to an animal…. 🐄 . The beautiful is a huge animal lover and she wanted to take a moment to connect with this cow. All our animals are used to people and love people. Know someone who loves animals more than people? and would rather spend their wedding day with a cow than a hundred people? 😂 tag them!! And we will arrange an intimate elopement

Let’s talk about
This is my (Sheree) family’s business - Mum, Dad and Aunty Liz started it over 30 years ago and my brothers still own and run it. To say they have done it tough this last two years is an understatement. It’s incredible they have kept their doors open and it’s a testament to how passionate they are.

So when you’re ready to book travel, please consider calling my brothers, Brad and Craig. They are Wollongong based but can work with clients anywhere thanks to zoom and phone calls!

While people I know were scrambling to get refunds and credits for pandemic affected holidays, this team of legends worked tirelessly, around the clock, for no money at all, doing this tough work for all of their values clients. If you book with them they will TAKE CARE OF YOU like no website or big corporate ever would. There’s also a misconception that when you book online it’s a lot cheaper, these guys have access to ALL the deals, plus they are ethical and want the best value and experience for you ❤️

Call the team at Figtree Travel for all your National and international travel including cruises, package holidays, the lot. Phone (02) 42289133
