Rainforest wedding at Mount Tamborine

Adventure lovers Rachelle and Brenden found a perfect little spot in the middle of the rainforest along the Curtis Falls walking track at Mount Tamborine for their micro rainforest wedding. Always keen to up their daily step count, the team from Elope Brisbane eagerly took on the challenge.

Surrounded only by their closest family and friends, and the song of cicadas, Rachelle and Brenden exchanged their wedding vows in an intimate ceremony. As they spoke their personally written vows, the couple looked adoringly into each other’s eyes, caught up in the emotion of the moment.

The rainforest needed no decoration, bu stylist Mel from Miss Weddings set up a signing table and two chairs and marked out the ceremony area with some floral arrangements.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry told the story of the couple’s first kiss at Southbank, already falling in love on their first date. Photographer Romana Saeheng captured all the ceremony visuals, while videographer Dan Hodgson was on hand to capture the action to share with friends and family from afar.

Bride Rachelle wore a boho crocheted wedding dress, with hair and makeup by Suzie from An Eye for Style. Her bouquet was from Little Miss Flower Shop.

After the ceremony, the couple were transported to their lunch reception at Witches Falls Winery by Steve and Buster from Kandid Kombi. The gorgeous caramel drip wedding cake was by Cakes by Simone.

Another gorgeous wedding day which demonstrated how every couple has their own vision of their perfect wedding day, and with a little planning and the right wedding professionals, your wedding day can be everything you dream of.

Kangaroo Point micro wedding

Kathleen and Alexander first met in an outback Hospital. Kathleen was a newly hired nurse, and on her first day, an intern wearing a pink dress shirt instantly caught her eye. Kathleen decided that her new job might be pretty interesting.

Not long afterwards, when Alex was relocated to Brisbane, Kathleen followed him, and they set about trying every restaurant on Alex’s rather long short-list.  

Too besotted with each other to wait for international borders to be opened, Alex and Kathleen were married in a simple ceremony by the Brisbane River, surrounded by colleagues and friends. Their families overseas watched on via livestreaming. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry guided the couple through the legal requirements and listened in as the couple exchanged sweet personal vows. Alex said, “You are the story I’ve always strived to write,” and Kathleen replied with, “You have become my best friend and my safe place.”

After cup cakes created by Cakes by Simone, guests made their way to a city restaurant for drinks while Kathleen and Alex made the most of the soft light before dusk with photographer Romana Saeheng. Styling by Miss Weddings

Wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club

Elouise and Mitchell were really looking forward to their November wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club, so everyone was thrilled when the day turned out so beautifully.

Elouise walked into the ceremony to Lana del Ray’s “Young and Beautiful” and looked stunning with her silver hair in glamour waves by Blush’d Brides. Elouise looked at her most beautiful in a dress by Exquisite Gowns by Yvonne.
The bridesmaids wore pale blue dresses with silver shoes.
Marriage celebrant Cheryl Landsberry told the story of how the couple first met while working at Woolworths, but both were too shy to speak to each other for the first two years! Luckily, once they started chatting, their connection was easy, and they wanted to spend as much time as possible together.

Elouise left this review for Cheryl Landsberry Marriage Celebrant;

“Cheryl was amazing! She helped me through planning the most beautiful ceremony for our special day! And was so quick in responding to the many emails of questions I sent 🤣.

We could not be anymore happy with our choice of a celebrant!
Thank you so so much Cheryl!
Our ceremony was perfect!”

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.
