When it comes to something as important to you as your wedding day and your wedding photos you don't want to settle for second best and why should you! So book the best! Book Chasing Summer Photographer TODAY! (they do other photography as well but weddings are a specialty)

I had spent some time looking for a good wedding photographer who wouldn't just do a great job but would suit my budget. What I found ticked all of my boxes and than some.

These guys are situated in Coffs Harbour but will travel all over the North Coast and the New England regions. There quality, service and value are second to none.

They offer wedding packages to suit all different budgets so I am sure you will be able to find something which suits your needs. Wedding packages also include something very unique, studio credit! For you to spend however you would like!!

We organised everything over email and arranged our engagement shoot for August. The first thing we noticed was how friendly and casual Antony and Mary Ann were. We felt so comfortable with them that I had no doubt our wedding was in great hands.

We were married in November having Antony and Mary Ann do our photos were like having 2 great friends taking our photos. We felt so comfortable with them, the day went so quickly, we had so much fun and had several people comment on how great our photographers were. Having had many bad experiences with wedding photographers in the past with other peoples weddings it was such a relief to have these guys doing our wedding.

Everything was so relaxed and well organised, they know all the tricks of the trade, they capture all the special moments on the day as well as all the casual and more formal moments.

Their service is highly professional, the photos are just amazing. We were so surprised at the high quality and the beautiful presentation of the photo discs. They offer an online gallery for your photos so you and your guests can have a sneak peak!

They work very quickly, they had the photos up on the online gallery within a week of the wedding and within two weeks we had received our wedding disc.

Check out their website, pictures speak louder than words!

I had the pleasure of having Susie from Glamour Empire as my make up artist for my wedding.

Susie traveled to us from Tamworth, quickly set up her equipment and got right to work. Susie done not only my make up but my bridesmaid and flower girl. She worked quickly and done an amazing job.

She is able to do "natural look" make up right through to Gothic style which is what I had for my wedding. Being a Goth bride I wanted something different, I showed Susie some images, we talked about colours and it all looked amazing!

We were able to organise everything over email as I live some distance away from our wedding location everything went smoothly. Susie was very nice and done an amazing job.

Great professional service, highly recommended.

Living 500km and trying to organise your wedding pretty much all online can be a challenge. But when you have businesses like Chique to deal with everything is a breeze.

I was able to book and make all my arrangements with Dee for my special day over emails and over the phone.

Dee came to my sisters house on the morning of the wedding fully prepared. She had printed off and bought with her the images of the hair styles we had discussed as well as all of her equipment.

She quickly set about making herself comfortable and set about styling my hair. She done an amazing job, my hair turned out just the way I had hoped. Dee also styled my sister (matron of honour) and niece (flower girl) all the way we had wished. Our hair stayed in place and looked beautiful all day even in the afternoon wind!

She was very friendly and very professional! With over 30 years of experience I knew I was in safe hands.

Friendly and High Quality Service!

Belmont Copy Centre is a no real frills business. They offer a variety of services which include Colour Copying, Photocopying, Plan Printing, Laminating, Invitations, Business cards and Brochures Printing.

The quality, cost and service is all responsible but there is room for improvement. They could work on their customer service skills.

I had the Belmont Copy Centre re print my wedding place cards as they could not print directly on the cards I provided.

The paper quality and printing didn't really match my originals cards but for the cost it was OK. And I didn't have any other real options.

For basic printing needs - Nothing fancy!

If your looking for flowers to be delivered to that special some one or just for a special occasion Easy Flowers is it.

When my cousin was killed in a tragic accident in Queensland our hearts went out to my aunty and her family, we wanted her to know that we were all thinking of her. We placed an order with Easy Flowers and they were delivered to her that very same day. She was comforted by knowing that her family down here in New South Wales were thinking.

We were more than happy with their service an would highly recommend them to anyone. They service 99% of Australia with only the most remote areas being out of access. Delivery is between $12.95 -$14.95, they have something for every budget and occasion!

If it were possible to give 6 stars this would be the place to get it! When I realised there was no review for the Magical Manderley I thought maybe I should keep this my little secret, but it's too good not to share!! Everything about the Magical Manderley is of the very highest quality right down to the fine details.

We had the immense pleasure to wrap up our honeymoon staying 3 pleasurable nights at the jewel in Leura's crown... The Magical Manderley. The only regret was we couldn't stay longer.

If your looking for a couples only retreat for a weekend or perhaps longer you can't go past this romantic luxurious hideaway. Situated just a few minutes walk from Leura mall and 5 minutes drive from Katoomba you will be surprised at how peaceful and private the location. There are two luxury self contained apartments available, The Tree Tops Apartment and The Terrace.

On your arrival you will be greeted by Robyn the wonderful, friendly owner. She will show you in and tell you everything you'll need to know for your stay and than leave you in private. Robyn as over 30 years experience so you know you are in good hands!

Robyn was like a fairy, she would slip in while we were away at dinner and freshened and service our room even doing the washing up.

The Terrace (where we stayed) comes with generous complimentary breakfast provisions, aperitifs and Lindt chocolates on arrival. We even had little bottles of bubbly for our celebration. Also well stocked are the Santa Vittoria Mineral water and beautiful juices.

The terrace also comes with a generous sized spa for two, with imported Molton Brown English Toiletries. (The rose hand wash smells beautiful) Everything you could possibly want for a romantic stay. I just adored the beautiful large sized and fluffy towels!!

A generous size and very comfortable bed, TV, DVD, Stereo with inclusion of DVD's and music cds and books all for guests enjoyment. The beautiful garden offers a lovely sitting area.

Robyn's genuine hospitality and special thoughtful touches made our stay not only memorable but beautifully romantic. I hope we can get back for our anniversary next year!

On arrival to Jenolan Caves we were hungry... We couldn't book into our room and we had some time to kill... The resturant and bar was not open for lunch so we decided we'd eat at the bistro...

Wanting a hot meal we chose the combo burger and chips deal...

I had a chicken burger I don't think had ever been near a chicken and my husband had the beef burger which at least his beef patty resembled meat. Other than a bun, lettuce and tomato there wasn't much else happening on these burgers... The chips were not fresh and were soggy.. Only good thing we got were our juices from the fridge.

Missing our breakfast the next morning we were told to grab some morning tea from the bistro... so we avoided the hot food.. not really sure about the sandwiches we chose a muffin and a slice with our juice... Well it was.. well meh!

Pack a lunch... is all I can say when it's all that is available and your hungry you might sooner want to eat your arm!

The only real pleasure was sitting out side the bistro fending off the wee crimson rosellas who seem to have a taste for this bistro grub... while the sign says do not feed the birds, the birds can't decipher this and feed themselves... Opening the lid on our burger boxes and taking bites as they wished... Rather amusing, we got a good laugh when ours went in the rubbish we watched them move on to the next victims!

Approximate cost: $15

Providing the only on site location at Jenolan Caves, Caves House to be honest is a real let down. They provide accommodation for all budgets from back packers to deluxe. We chose to stay "classic" as it is one of the only four mid range rooms with private bath/toilet facilities.

While we were there we noticed a couple complaining because there room did not have an ensuite, this is something to consider when your booking your room as the majority of rooms in Cave House are shared facilities.

The staff... depends who you get!! When we went to check we had the room booked for arrival between 12-1pm we were told by the "gentleman" in no uncertain terms check in was at 2pm... SO we had to walk around for an hour before we could unpack... That said there was another lady there who was more than helpful... we miss read when breakfast was served and she arranged for us to get morning tea from the bistro! (I wish I knew her name, she was a real asset)

The view from our room was nice, being on the second floor of the house, the kitchen/restaurant and bar being the floor below it could sometimes get a bit noisy specially early mornings or evenings.

The room was very run down in appearance and could really use a renovation to make it more appealing. While the ensuite as a generous sized shower, sharing this space is the basin and toilet which is rather cramped.

The room is well set up with a generous sized bed, tables and tea/coffee facilities. Water on site is supplied from the local springs so it is very fresh... the coffee they supply is horrible!! The rooms are serviced daily.

As it was our honeymoon we received complimentary rose petals, chocolates and candles on our arrival, this was a nice touch. For about $30 more you can also have wine.

If your only planing on a day visits it might be worth wild getting accommodation else where (there is a lot cheaper NICER accommodation available but this means a bit of a drive) just over night not so bad.. I wouldn't recommend a longer stay.

Approximate cost: $From $154/Night

Common Ground is a real experience, from the moment you walk in the door you know this place is different. It as an old world charm about it, very colonial Australian, very nice! You can sit inside and look about seeing all kinds of fascinating furniture and wonder how did they do that or what is that?

The food is fresh and very very good value for money! You have to try the smoothies!! They are amazing! If you love mango it's the best but they also come in Strawberry and banana.

If there was a let down it as to be the staff, they often seem lost and they don't give you a great sense of welcoming. The cafe is a little cramped too but there is an outdoor option. This is a small price to pay for a great value meal in a great location!

Simply a must visit if your in Katoomba and looking for a great place to have lunch! It does get busy so you might want to get in early!
