“We were stoked to be in the top 10, let alone win an award,” she said.
“I never thought that we would win, it’s been an incredible 12 months.”
Ms Atkins said while many Central West couples had exchanged their vows at BoxGrove, the venue appealled to Sydney couples who were keen for a country wedding.
“We’ve had about 15 Sydney weddings,” she said.
Ms Atkins said the tight-knit family team at BoxGrove enjoyed being a part of so many couples’ big day.
“It’s a beautiful thing,” she said.
