Evening wedding at Mowbray Park, East Brisbane

  • Posted By cheryl
  • on June 19,2023

The thought of planning a traditional wedding with a seating plan, alternate drop meals, and a garter toss just didn’t fit with Steph and Curtis’s vision. Instead, they contacted the team at Elope Brisbane and booked the Simply Elope package with just the essentials – celebrant and photographer.

Steph and Curtis decided on a 7pm ceremony, to coincide with their anniversary time, so the hunt was on to find a ceremony location in Brisbane with night lights. Mowbray Park at East Brisbane alongside the Brisbane River was the perfect location, with the giant Fig trees decked in fairy lights providing plenty of light and ambience for the occasion. The heritage park looks over the river to the Story Bridge, which is also lit up at night, and provided gorgeous backdrop for the photos.

Steph grew out her golden hair and curled it for the ceremony. She looked gorgeous in a J’Adore sparkly purple evening gown, topped with a black wool cross over. Silver heels completed the look. Curtis was matching in a smart grey suit with a purple tie. He managed to include his lucky Meerkat socks to top off the outfit.

The couple organised a pre-wedding photo shoot in the afternoon to enable them to have some daylight snaps, then met their families at a Kangaroo Point bar for a sunset drink. Once the sun set, the families headed to Mowbray Park and were relieved to see the area had plenty of parking available.

The winter evening was crisp and clear, and the park looked magical. Steph and Curtis exchanged their marriage vows under an ancient fig tree, watched on by just their closest family. Their mums witnessed their signatures on the marriage certificates, and after a couple of family photos, the newlyweds and their parents drove off for a celebratory dinner in the city.

We loved working with this genuine couple and were so pleased we could bring their wedding vision to life.

Wedding at Roma Street Parklands

Bec and Lincoln met at the cinema, where they were both working part time to earn some pocket money during their university years. So it was only fitting that at their wedding ceremony, they included a picnic basket full of bags of popcorn for their guests to enjoy with a glass of bubbles. The little verse on the stickers read,

“You’ve made this a day

We won’t forget

Here’s something sweet

From where we met.”

I love the creative ideas that couples come up with to represent their unique relationship and their back story.

Bec prepped for the wedding day in a Brisbane City hotel, with hair and makeup artist Ellen creating a very natural look for Bec. Her dress was super pretty, with the bodice featuring a white daisy pattern. Bec was chauffeured to the ceremony site by Kandid Kombi, and walked down the aisle to “I’m with you” by Vance Joy.

The colour scheme of the wedding was Autumn colours, with bridesmaid Danielle wearing a toffee coloured dress. Best man, Christiaan, wore a toffee coloured bow tie. Miss Weddings styled a white hexagonal arbour with dried flowers in rust and burnt orange. The bouquet also featured Autumn coloured flowers.

After the ceremony, the couple joined their guests for a celebration at The Port Office Hotel in the Brisbane CBD.

Wedding at Wilson Outlook Reserve, New Farm

Peter and Christine decided on a relaxed, but special wedding at Wilson Outlook Reserve, New Farm, which overlooks the Brisbane River and the Storey Bridge. They arranged for their guests to all frock up and check in to Brisbane city accommodation so they could celebrate with a party at Howard Smith Wharves after the ceremony.

Christine and Peter contacted the team at Elope Brisbane to take care of all their wedding planning for them. They chose the Simply Elope package, which includes a local and knowledgeable celebrant and a qualified and experienced photographer. They also added on the hire of some Americana chairs for their guests. All Peter and Christine had to do was shop for their outfits and wedding rings. And choose their honeymoon destination!

On a warm, Thursday afternoon, Peter and Christine stood side by side, surrounded by their closest friends and family, and promised to live out their days together. For their ceremony exit song, they chose, “You’re the one that I want” from the movie, Grease, which set the tone for an evening of good old fashioned partying.

Client testimonial: “The professionalism we received from Cheryl was above and beyond our expectations!!! It was a beautiful day with a perfect ceremony. Thank you Cheryl

Wedding at Wilson Outlook Reserve

2023 has been the year for couples just doing weddings their own way. Georgia and Declan love a refreshing beer on a warm Brissie afternoon, and their favourite spot is the Green Beacon Brewing at Teneriffe. So, of course, they decided to hold their wedding reception there. With a cold beer or two on hand.

After some wedding prep at the The Calile Hotel at Fortitude Valley, Georgia arrived in the zesty orange Kandid Kombi.

Mel from Miss Weddings styled the ceremony area with a hexagonal arbour, which suited the geometric backdrop of the city skyline. The blue skies were reflected in the Brissie River as the guests looked out over the Story Bridge.

Georgia was dressed in a slim fitting dress from Grace Loves Lace at Burleigh, and she looked naturally beautiful with a couple of soft curls and natural makeup.

Preceding Georgia’s entrance (to Appointment by DMA’S) walked her grandmother, tossing flower petals. How sweet!

Declan and Georgia’s brief for their ceremony was “relaxed, light, and festive” so I told the story of their first meeting while working at the Story Bridge. Georgia noticed that Declan was handsome, likable, and funny. Declan noticed that Georgia was pretty, capable, and strong-willed.’

They soon became a couple – to the delight of their friends and families who saw them blossom and support each other as they grew up together.

Their wedding day was held on their ten year anniversary!

After the ceremony and some photos, the revellers made their way to the Green Beacon to celebrate.

“You are the gel balls to my gel blaster- they can both exist independently but they are useless without the other.”

Not quite true, as on their own, Kirstie and Anton are both totally capable people in their own fields, but these words added a little humour to Kirstie’s heartfelt wedding vows.

Wedding at Riverlife, Brisbane

Albany and Zach first met at the hospital where they were both working. As a barista in the coffee shop, Albany wondered if it was her coffee or her smile that kept Zach dropping by each morning. She didn’t have long to wonder, as after they were formally introduced by a matchmaking manager, Albany and Zach ventured out on their first date. Zach brought along biscuits which he had baked, which absolutely melted Albany’s heart. She excited told her mum that Zach might just be the “one”!
After many more hours spent together, Zach proposed at an evening out to watch the Nutcracker, and Albany ecstatically accepted. She walked down the aisle to music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.


With most of her family overseas, Albany decided on a simple wedding ceremony for her wedding to Zach. They live-streamed the ceremony to family and friends back home.
The wedding ceremony was held on a fine Summer afternoon at Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, beside the sparkling Brisbane River. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry organised all the legal paperwork for the marriage, and, together with the couple, created a ceremony with a little sentiment and a little laughter. The moments were captured by photographer, Romana Saeheng, who then took the couple to some secluded little spots alongside the river for couple portraits.
Following the ceremony and photos, the couple joined their guests at the Riverlife pergola for drinks, dancing, and donuts, as the sun set over the cityscape.

Micro Wedding at Newstead Park Rotunda

Sam and Mic first met around 8 years ago at the Victory Hotel. Sam was out with friends, and Mic was kicking on after the Caxton Street Seafood and Wine Festival. Both had consumed a couple of beverages.

Mic noticed Sam from across the room with her long brunette hair and sparkly eyes. He decided to start a conversation with her. Sam thought Mic was a bit cute, but his hair was too perfect for him to possibly be straight.

Soon, the conversation was flowing easily, with the two bantering like old friends. They had a boogie on the dance floor and neither wanted the evening to end.

Mic and Sam were soon spending every spare moment together, and they became a couple.

Sam and Mic chose a relaxed and intimate wedding ceremony at Newstead Park, Brisbane.
Sam showed off her toned physique in a fitted dress with a gorgeous train. Mic was dapper in an olive green jacket.
Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Mic promised to be the manager at Daddy Day Care while Sam worked out, and Sam explained that she and Mic complemented each other – he being the gift wrapper, and she the writer on cards.

The couple were guided and encouraged with their vow writing by celebrant Cheryl Landsberry.
Photographer Romana Saeheng captured some snaps which will be treasured for years to come.
Mel from Miss Weddings supplied an arbour and Americana chairs, and the fresh flowers were by Little Miss Flower Shop.
Afterwards, celebrations were held at the Breakfast Creek Hotel.

“Cheryl was just amazing. She was extremely helpful with every step leading up to our big day. She has a beautiful and calm nature which made us both feel at ease and made our day perfect and stress free. Highly recommend Cheryl to anyone on the hunt for a great celebrant.” Sam and Mic Nov 2022

It was raining on Caila and Jadam’s wedding day, but luckily, they had booked the heritage rotunda at New Farm Park for their ceremony.
The rotunda was large enough to fit all their guests, and everyone was glad to be out of the rain as they listened to the couple exchange their vows.
After the ceremony, photographer Romana Saeheng provided the couple and their attendants with clear umbrellas for a photo shoot around the flower gardens at New Farm Park and the nearby industrial backdrop of Brisbane Powerhouse.
