Pop Up Wedding at The Lighthouse Restaurant, Cleveland

Pop Up Wedding at The Lighthouse Restaurant, Cleveland
Karlla and Isaac were hoping for sunshine on their wedding day, but when the skies turned grey, they were glad to have such a handy backup venue in the rotunda at the Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland.
The couple left all the organising in the hands of the team at Pop Up Weddings Bayside. Miss Weddings transformed the rotunda into a ceremony space, with white Americana chairs tied with pale pink bows. A white hexagon shaped arbour styled with greenery and pale pink flowers was set at the front of the ceremony space, framing the bay views.
Karlla was stunning in a white fitted lace dress, her hair and makeup were by Suzie from An Eye for Style. Grom Issac looked smart in a blue suit with silver tie and pale pink pocket sqare. The bridesmaids wore pale pink, and the groomsmen wore pale pink ties.
Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry led the ceremony, which she created with input from Karlla and Isaac. There were a few “in jokes” included, and the guests commented afterwards that the ceremony was so “them”.
Photographer Romana captured some ceremony shots while the guests were dry and under cover, then took the couple out into the park as the rain clouds lifted for some keepsake photos.
The guests blew bubbles as the newlyweds waled back down the aisle, hand in hand.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Smith

Wedding at The Lighthouse Restaurant, Cleveland

With five teens/young adults between them, Emma and Craig’s emphasis for their wedding day (and in fact their entire relationship) was family.

When they first met, Craig and Emma noticed that they shared common values and priorities, and were both committed to providing a healthy and happy lifestyle for their children. These ideals were continued on to their wedding plans, as they found colour coordinated outfits for their children, and asked them to stand by their side as they made their vows to each other.

Unfortunately, the wet weather on their wedding day resulted in the Plan B ceremony location, and luckily, the Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland has a wet weather space. Emma and Craig were able to hold their ceremony under the gazebo which adjoins the dining space, overlooking the bay at Cleveland.

As a further idea to include their children in the ceremony, Emma and Craig purchased a vase and vials of different coloured sand. In turn, each family member added a coloured sand to the vase, which will be a colourful momento of the wedding day.

Renewal Of Vows

Renewal of Vows Ceremony at Cleveland

On their 30 year wedding anniversary, Joanne and Chris celebrated with a renewal of vows ceremony at The Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland Point.

They were blessed to be joined by their parents who made the trip out from the UK to join the celebrations. Joanne and Chris were accompanied by their 4 children, their proudest achievements, who are all now young adults. Their daughters wore sunny yellow dresses, and their son matched Chris in blue. Joanne looked absolutely stunning in a fitted, floor length white gown.

Steve from Kandid Kombi transported the ladies to the Lighthouse Restaurant in the cute orange Kombi. They walked into the venue to “You’re in my Heart” by Rod Stewart. Stylists Steph and Jodie from Beautiful Illusions created an arbour with yellow florals for the ceremony backdrop and adorable table decorations in matching yellow for the reception lunch. All the little extra touches created an atmosphere of the special occasion it was.

Back in 1988, Chris and Joanne first met in College. Chris was one of only 5 young men in a class of women, and so he had plenty of female attention. But it was Joanne who caught his eye, and he quickly set about asking her out on a date. Joanne had noticed this young man with a very bouncy hair style, and thought his ripped jeans showed off his very cute bum. She eagerly agreed to a date with Chris.

At the time, in 1989, the most popular songs were “Like a Prayer,” by Madonna, and “Wind Beneath my Wings” by Bette Midler. New Kids on the Block actually were the new kids on the block, and Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, and Gloria Estafan all had dance tracks in the charts.   Ed Sheeran was not yet born.

After a Christmas Eve proposal, Joanne and Chris were married in 1992. The number one song in the UK charts on their wedding day was “Deeply Dippy” by Right Said Fred, so we played this song as Chris and Joanne signed a certificate of Renewal. Their mums were honoured to be witnesses.

Here’s to the next 30 years together!
