FAQs
What’s the dress code?
We’re calling it Territory rig – with a touch of celebration.
Think - short or long sleeve button-ups with trousers or dress shorts. Cocktail or after-5 dresses – a little bit fancy for sunset photos and dancing.
It’ll be warm, we’ll be by the beach, and there’ll be plenty of lawn and barefoot moments - so skip the tuxedo & ball gowns this time.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourselves!
Everything is sorted, but pack for a tropical NT weekend:
swimmers, hat, sunscreen, insect spray, and your footy jersey if you're grand final keen.
Where’s the ceremony?
Our secret spot, 25 mins from our Airbnb – we’ll see you at the Dundee Beach House from 3PM Friday for the real party.
How do I get to Dundee Beach? And what do I need to know?
About 90 minutes’ drive from Darwin. Sealed road all the way. You’ll need your own transport – carpooling encouraged! Its a beachside fishing town - famous for its fishing charters & highly prized Barramundi or Blue Marlin! While there is 4G Telstra service there are no shops (apart from a convenience store) or taxis. We recommend stocking up on snacks, drinks & anything else you fancy during your Dundee stay.
Why Dundee?
Dundee Beach & the Territory are a big part of our love story. We cant wait to show you this incredible place.
What about dietary requirements?
We think we have them all sorted but please let us know if there’s something specific to be aware of.
