Hidden away on the edge of Moreton Bay at Cleveland Point is the iconic Courthouse Restaurant. The historic sandstone cottage was used as a Courthouse for the local Redlands area from the 1860’s.


Local Redlanders, Claire and Ian chose the Courthouse for their Cleveland wedding.
After first meeting at high school, they met up again on a night out with their respective friends at the Redland Bay Hotel and have been together ever since. Ian knew that Claire was the one that he had been looking for,
And Claire knew that she was exactly where she was supposed to be – with Ian.


Ian proposed on a night out by the Brisbane River, and Claire delightedly accepted.


Friend, Kate Achachlouei, sang, “If I ain’t got you,” as Claire walked down the aisle towards Ian.
