Micro Wedding at City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane

Rhett and Chitra wanted a simple and fuss-free wedding with just immediate family and booked the Wedding Lawn at City Botanic Gardens for their ceremony. They asked the team at Elope Brisbane to take care of all the details.

Mel and Deb from Miss Weddings set up bamboo chairs and draped the bamboo arbour with a white cloth.

Chitra walked down into the ceremony on the arm of Rhett’s step-father, Greg, to Christina Perri’s song, A Thousand Years. Rhett’s mum, Joy, had a tear in her eye when she saw the look on Rhett’s face as he watched his bride arrive.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry created a sweet ceremony for the couple, and they signed the certificates with Rhett’s sisters as witnesses.

Photographer Romana Saeheng captured all the magical moments of the ceremony, then took the couple around the Botanic Gardens for a photo shoot amongst the floral landscapes. This photo was amongst the snapdragons in the formal flower garden.

The family then headed off in search of some cool drinks and a long and relaxing lunch.

Get married at Home

Home wedding


Joe and Rose’s families worked together to build this adorable little arbour on Rose’s parents’ property in a leafy Brisbane suburb.
The concrete slab was grey, and the timber frames, balustrades, and roof trusses were painted white. The grey sheet metal roof was handy for keeping the rain sprinkles off the marriage certificates.


For their reception, a marquee and caterers were hired.
And cute glamping tents were set up so guests could stay overnight.

There’s lots to organise and consider to plan a home wedding, but all that money spent on landscaping can be enjoyed forever on your own property.

Elopements, Weddings

Elopement at Mount Coot-tha

Taryn and Nic don’t enjoy a lot of fuss or fanfare and were quite anxious when they started to think about planning their wedding. They contacted the team at Elope Brisbane to create an intimate elopement, surrounded by nature, just for the two of them.

Jo from Twidale Hair and Makeup at Albion created some soft curls for Taryn. Taryn chose a sapphire blue dress from Sacha Drake which showed off her slim figure. She carried a simple bouquet of baby’s breath.

Nic combed his hair back into a pony tail and wore a matching blue jacket with a baby’s breath boutonniere.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry created a genuine ceremony for the couple, who whispered their personally written vows to each other in the quiet morning air.

Photographer, Romana Saeheng captured some beautiful mementos for the couple to share with family and friends.

After their morning wedding, Nic and Taryn met family for a celebratory lunch and surprised them with their wedding news.

What a wonderful way to be married!

Taryn left these reviews:
“Thank you so much for the lovely photos! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your involvement and coordination of our elopement, it was everything we had hoped for and more.”

“Cheryl is a wonderful celebrant who is up for any wedding style and location. She is highly experienced, a delight to talk with, and will organise all the paperwork for you. She is super-adaptable and welcomes any crazy wedding ideas you might have! I highly recommend her!”

We loved working with Taryn and Nic for their very low key Brisbane elopement and wish them every happiness for their married life together.

Wedding at City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane

The City Botanic Gardens are situated between Alice Street and the Brisbane River, at the ends of Edward Street and George Street, Brisbane City. (If you’re new to Brisbane, the King streets run north-west and the Queen Streets run north-east.)

Underneath shady trees, generations of Brisbanites have enjoyed the manicured gardens for walks, picnics, and weddings.

The City Botanic Gardens has nine sites available to hire for weddings in Brisbane City. Sites can be booked through Brisbane City Council for a minimum of two hours. The current price is $177.20 per hour.

This setup, by stylist Miss Weddings, is the site known as Area 2 – the Wedding Lawn.

A Botanic Gardens landscaper tended to the area before the wedding, ensuring the paths were leaf free and the area was immaculate for the wedding.

Parking is available outside the City Botanic Gardens on Alice Street. Meters are available for 3 hour parking. An alternative is to park at the nearby QUT Gardens Point campus car park.

One of the most important points to note if you are planning a wedding in the City Botanic Gardens is to ensure your guests know which area in the gardens to find. Maybe you could include a diagram with the invitation. Just inside the main gate on Alice Street is a map which your guests can refer to – but only if they know the location where they are required to be.

Another important note is to ensure guests don’t accidentally drive to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mount Coot-tha. Ensure you specify that your wedding is at the City Botanic Gardens on Alice Street. Although only a 15 minute drive away, there has been many a mix-up when guests don’t realise that there are two different Botanic Gardens in Brisbane.

If you are looking for the Jacaranda trees in the City Botanic Gardens, you will find one at the Edward Street entrance, and another near Parliament House at the George Street entrance. The Jacarandas bloom in Brisbane from September to November, and always make for gorgeous wedding photos.

Contact Cheryl to organise your fuss free wedding at the Botanic Gardens.

Country Wedding

Felicity and Craig’s country wedding was held on a family property out of Brisbane.
Felicity and her bridesmaids walked into the ceremony to the song, “I get to love you,” by Ruelle.


When they first met, Felicity and Craig realised that they were both looking for the same thing – a loving home in which they could raise their children and a partner who was committed to a happy family life.

Wedding at Dicky Beach, Caloundra


Laura and Blake both love the ocean, so the park at Dicky Beach was their first choice for their wedding ceremony.
Sir Leslie Wilson Park at Dicky Beach can be booked for weddings through Sunshine Coast Council.

The setup consisting of an arbour with florals and draping was by Cloud Nine.
We even saw a whale out to sea while we were setting up for the ceremony.
Under a clear blue sky, Laura and Blake exchanged their wedding vows.
