A stunning summer garden wedding

A Stunning Summer Garden Wedding

Nessa and Tyrone wed in a heartfelt wedding ceremony at a private property in Indooroopilly. The property was styled with vibrant cheerful colours and large cushions  which created the perfect vibe for relaxed and social celebrations.

As it was a hot summers day, the ceremony took place amongst the shade of a large mango tree, decorated with hanging glass bottles with brightly coloured flowers.

Two excited flower girls led the bride down the aisle to her beaming groom, where they held hands and locked eyes as their ceremony commenced.

Their garden ceremony was meaningful and heartfelt and the couple shared some of the funniest vows I’ve ever heard, before exchanging rings and sealing the deal with their first kiss as husband and wife.

“Thanks a mil Jamie for all you did to make our day perfect!’

A small and intimate Brisbane Elopement

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

I loved being a part of this small and intimate Brisbane elopement and am so excited to have just received this fantastic review from the happy newlyweds.

My fiancee and I ran away to Brisbane and eloped in late December. Jamie was fantastic he responded with useful suggestions and recommendations, which was particularly helpful as we were coordinating this from overseas.

The ceremony, while very simple, was exactly what we were after. The day was perfect. Thanks Jamie.”

The wedding took place in the company of just 2 witnesses, the photographer Anthony Hoang and myself which made for a super relaxed, short and sweet ceremony.

At the couples request the ceremony involved simply the legal wording and exchanging of rings while the bride and groom looked lovingly in to each others eyes. Within minutes they were married.

There was no need for a crowd at this wedding as the witnesses and photographer more than made up for one, excitedly bursting in to celebratory cheers and applause the moment I pronounced them husband and wife.

The newlyweds then celebrated with an intimate lunch for 2 at a nearby restaurant. I can’t imaging a more relaxed wedding day!

Congratulations to the happy newlyweds!

If you too love the idea of eloping in Brisbane with a simple and relaxed ceremony on a private deck, Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants would love to hear from you.

Private Property Wedding with Celebrant Jamie Eastgate at a spectacular residence

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

Bride and Groom: Louise and Owen
Wedding Date: 8 March 2014

Ceremony Location: Private Property Wedding, Tallai, Gold Coast
Tell us about your Ceremony:
Our Ceremony was personal and intimate.  It was in a little garden with a big view.

It was important to us for our guests to feel relaxed and involved, and upon reflection, we achieved that (and more!) with the help of Jamie Eastgate our Celebrant, it really felt like “us.”

Reception Location: Private Residence, Tallai, Gold Coast
Tell us about your Reception:
Our Reception was at the same venue as our ceremony, however, the reception was held on the (huge!!) deck overlooking Surfers Paradise.

Our main aim was for the reception to feel relaxed and happy. We didn’t have any formalities, so the evening just flowed perfectly from beginning to end.

What we loved:
We honestly just loved that we were surrounded by our loved ones on our special day.

The less people you invite, the more intimate and relaxed the day is.  We had approximately 55 guests, which was perfect for us as it was just close friends and family.  We felt so loved.

Describe your experience with Jamie Eastgate from Brisbane City Celebrants:
Jamie was perfect.  He told ‘our story’ so well and he really helped put us at ease!

He even called the day before to iron over any last minute issues/ concerns, which really helped ease those ‘pre-wedding worries!’

He truly has an aura of love and happiness.  Throughout the reception, our guests commented about what a great job he did. We can’t thank him enough.

Wedding Suppliers we were impressed with:
We hired all of our furniture, glasses, urn, bins etc through Gold Coast Events and Party Rentals.  They were fantastic.  They were very reliable and they gave us a great deal.

Also, I can’t praise Amelda Webster from CloseUp Makeup and Hair enough!  She was fantastic and really put me and my bridesmaid at ease.  She was happy to do a trial prior to the wedding to make sure we were happy with everything.  She made us look and feel beautiful!

Our Advice to Brides and Grooms to be:
Relax and enjoy it! Don’t sweat the small stuff – it’s just not worth it.   If you can get away with inviting less guests, we would definitely recommend it, as it really helps to provide that intimate, personal vibe.

Also, just accept that you will cry during your ceremony – don’t try to fight it!
