Little Creatures Brewery occupies the old Valley Worsted Mills on Swanston Street, South Geelong. The mill was built in 1924, then the largest textile mill in the country: five buildings of red Geelong brick with white art deco trim under saw-tooth roofs. Little Creatures bought the site in 2011 and the first Geelong beer left in 2013. For weddings there is Furphy Hall, which seats 120 or holds 200 standing and has a fireplace, and the barrel-lined White Rabbit Barrel Hall for a hundred standing.
Veri photographed Lisa and Steve’s reception here after their ceremony and portraits at Geelong Botanic Gardens, a short drive away. That is a good Geelong pairing: the formality of the gardens for the vows and the photographs, then brick, timber and brewery noise for the party, with the Canteen and the courtyard open to the public around the edges of it.
For Lisa and Steve it was the reception venue; the day also took in Geelong Botanic Gardens in East Geelong.
