Only one more function to go and we are done for the year! Looking forward to a super exciting 2020 with lots of weddings and events.

It’s going to be a huge year for Coco & Lil as I take on a second venue as well.
Can’t wait for what’s to come!
You have to trust your instincts and take a chance on yourself! It’s not always easy! But so worth it when you can finally see it all coming together.

This was a big one for the Coco & Lil team- Sofi and Ryan told us their vision and then stepped back and let us do the rest.
We styled the ceremony and reception venue using their own items plus half a tonne of eucalyptus leaves(thanks husband)- Our bride loved the huge fresh leaf backdrop created by one of my team. We provided bar staff for 150 guests and same day event managers to keep everything flowing - plus did the grazing table - and we even had to throw in an extreme weather changeover with winds reaching up to 80kms an hour. But the result was a very happy Bride and Groom and that’s all we need!

A very windy August day, Sofi & Ryan's beautiful Winter wedding was held at Stanley Park, Fullerton Cove (just out of Newcastle).

We love our review from Sofi and Ryan. Thanks so much! Have you booked your Coco & Lil wedding yet?

A big congratulations to Sofi and Ryan. What an amazing day! We spent almost 10 hours installing this one- no thanks to the crazy weather and 60km hour winds - then backing up again with a service team for the reception. Lucky for me I was also a guest so this time I just had to trust my team and relax a little. And they certainly did shine under the pressure. It was a big night and I am really proud of the high standard of service.

A lovely morning of wedding planning and catching up with one of our favourite and highly recommended floral artists the fabulous Emma from Buttercups Floral Designs- and our gorgeous bride to be!! - there was just a little bit of excitement with the fire alarm going off and having to evacuate. Lucky we hadn’t ordered lunch yet.
Our bride is very happy with the plan and design for both her bouquets and the table decorations. We can’t wait for this one!!

Hi Folks

We had our second set of traditional high teas yesterday and were so delighted to have it on a warm Spring like day. The house and garden were looking their best with new flowers coming up and the wisteria about to pop! The next high tea in two weeks will be able to enjoy the sights and smells of the wisteria on the pergola 😉

Thank you to all that attended. We had a lovely day and hope you enjoyed it at least as much as we did!

We are pleased to announce that September 8th high teas are now both sold out. Sunday October 13th is now available and we are also going to add a Saturday session on the 12th October for those people who asked for a date that wasnt Sunday ....😊

We hope to see you here soon! Please share with anyone you think might be interested.

If you have any photos of the day you are happy to share please send them to us and we will post them 😊

Thanks to our dream team of Amanda Douglass Catering Services plus Coco & Lil - Wedding and Event Services.
Such a wonderful feeling to see all of our visitors enjoying our first High Tea here at the house today.
A big thankyou to everyone who came and supported our event. We hope you enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having you. A big shout out to Denis Oshaliee for taking these amazing shots and documenting our special day.

Here at Tanilba House we’ve joined forces with the team from Coco & Lil - Wedding and Event Services who will manage all of our functions and events. All of our weddings will have their own dedicated Event Coordinator to help you create something special.
We have several packages on offer from 2-90guests. Check out our Vintage Picnic or Cocktail reception below with lots of inclusions- priced for 50guests with the option to add more guests.
Venue highlight cont: Tanilba House

Separate to the house are a jail, fisherman’s hut and the original maid’s and governor’s quarters which are going to be renovated to even more invitingly and practically accommodate newlyweds and / or friends and family.

Standing inside the residence, by the imposing fireplace or in front of the impressive wood fired kitchen cooker, you can figuratively hear the stories that are seeped within the stone from the convicts who built it and the fisherman, family and guests who’ve languished there over the years, enjoying their catch and the plays, poetry readings, exhibitions and concerts which have been held there.

Complementing the magnificence that this home deserves is an equally impressive lady named Lynda, from Coco & Lil - Wedding and Event Services

Lynda is the weddings and events manager at Tanilba House, and she has used her innate skills in planning, service and event management to devise the Design It Yourself menu of wedding packages on offer.

Lynda collaborates with trusted, local vendors to bring elopement and custom styled packages to guests of Tanilba House and has also planned the series of upcoming high tea Sundays, history tours and impending open day.

Pulling from her notable experiences, Lynda aims to offer a simple and understated same day elopement experience alongside packages which offer more elaborately styled and sophisticated, tailor made experiences.

Whatever your vision, Lynda and her team are willing, able and equipped to bring it to fruition and will help as little or as much as you need, to cater your perfect wedding or event. @ Tanilba House
