CELEBRANT REVIEW “Cara was the Celebrant for our wedding at the Brisbane Powerhouse. We could not be happier that she was there with us.
She was helpful throughout the organisation of our ceremony, and set the perfect happy and joyful tone on the day. It was a wonderful day for us, and I highly recommend that you have Cara join you for your own wedding.”

They fell in love with Melbourne’s Brown Paper Parcel Photography and flew her up to capture their day and what a wonderful job she did! I love how genuinely happy and real these moments she captured are.

I am so proud of my husband, and so happy for him to see his hard work dedication, meticulousness and passion be rewarded by such kind words and praise from his happy clients.

I Cara am pretty chuffed to come in a close second being Brisbane’s second most highly recommended Marriage Celebrant, there is nobody I would rather be second to!

We are so excited to share this highlight reel of Paul and Paul’s stunning wedding video.

We just love how happy they were to tie the knot!

We can’t wait for the day that same sex weddings become legal and we can be surrounded by so much more of this pure happiness!

“Jamie was wonderful! He was professional, warm and caring. His ability to speak in front of everyone was perfect and eloquent.

Communication between us and Brisbane City Celebrants was regular and genuine. A personal and sincere interest in your life and how your wedding plans were coming together was apparent and appreciated during our correspondence leading up to our special day.

We were so so SO happy that we went with Brisbane City Celebrants!”

Quirky Hillstone St Lucia Wedding

With Celebrant Cara Hodge of Brisbane City Celebrants

This cute and quirky bride and groom have just had their super sweet wedding featured on Easy Weddings!

Hillstones Wedding with Celebrant Cara of Brisbane City Celebrants

Using their woodland animal nicknames as inspiration for their wedding day to perfectly reflect their quirks and personalities. The groom even wrote a very special piece of music for his wife to be, for a string quartet to play as she made her way down the aisle!

You won’t spot me in the fun bunch of photos captured by Anne Bremner Photography because at Brisbane City Celebrants we believe our couples day is 100% about them, not us so I successfully slipped out of camera shot for all the special moments, while still being there to guide them through and ensure everything went seamlessly.

I felt pretty special to be chosen as the Celebrant for this lovely couple as they met with a whole bunch of Celebrants before meeting me and locking me in!

Congratulations to the happy newly weds and thank you for my wonderful 5 star review and for sharing your special day.

The ‘fun wedding’ innovation

The ‘Fun Wedding’ Innovation

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

So much has changed since we realised our dream and launched Brisbane City Celebrants back in 2008, the same year our very own wedding took place!

Significantly noticeable has been the emergence of the ‘fun wedding’ movement. Everyone loves a dose of fun and laughter during a ceremony, it puts everyone at ease and really sets the celebratory tone for the day.

Still today we continue to see an increasing shift of weddings becoming less traditional and more about the couple celebrating in their own unique way.

5 years ago Jamie created and performed Brisbane couple Chani and Lindsay’s fun wedding ceremony which was featured on the premiere season of the ‘Four Weddings Australia’ TV show to huge acclaim.

Fun weddings were pretty unheard of at the time, and their wedding was such a huge success – judged best wedding the newly weds won a luxury honeymoon in the Maldives!

Following the airing of their episode we were inundated with enquiries from couples that fell in love with the idea of having a fun wedding that was still meaningful and special.

What an honour to be a part of the ‘fun wedding’ revolution!

Sending massive happy anniversary wishes to this super fun bride and groom. On behalf of the many couples you inspired, thank you for doing your wedding your way and showing everyone that a fun wedding is a winner!
