5 star Celebrant Review for a Suttons Beach Wedding

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

So happy to receive this 5 star Celebrant review for a wedding I recently performed at Suttons Beach in Redcliffe on a very windy day.

5 star review for Brisbane Celebrant Jamie Eastgate Suttons Beach

With a stunning setting for the ceremony including a stone wall backdrop, we were greeted with extremely strong coastal winds, thought to be an after effect from Cyclone Winston, however none of that mattered for Sylvia and Hamish who locked eyes and shared their special connection throughout the ceremony.

If every cloud has a silver lining then every windy wedding day needs a veil.

Without the extreme winds the very talented crew from Dreamlife Photography wouldn’t have had the opportunity to capture this fantastic veil shot!

The wind was so strong, that simply passing or holding a sheet of wedding vows, or a marriage certificate in an envelope wasn’t possible, due to the risk of them blowing out of hands or tearing, so we made a few minor adjustments to work with the invigorating conditions and I couldn’t be happier for the bride and groom that everything went perfectly to plan.

Big thanks to the Dreamlife Photography team for sharing these great photos, they really are a dream to work alongside at weddings.

Following their ceremony, the happy couple celebrated the night away with family and friends at the nearby Mon Komo Hotel.

Congratulations to the happy newlyweds and thank you for choosing me to be your Celebrant for your wedding at Suttons Beach in Redcliffe.

Wishing you every happiness for your future together.

Georgina and Brett enjoyed a classic and timeless wedding at Latrobe Chapel in Paddington.

I was thrilled to receive the following 5 star review from the happy newlyweds.

Cannot recommend highly enough.”

Latrobe Chapel Wedding Brisbane City Celebrants Review

“Dear Jamie, Thank you for officiating at our wedding. We just wanted to thank you again personally for doing such an amazing job.

We could not have asked for a better Celebrant!

You provided us with plenty of really good ideas ideas for our ceremony, were flexible, patient, organised (generally more so than us!), reassuring and professional.

We honestly felt we wouldn’t have had a better experience with anyone else and for that we are eternally grateful.

Many thanks,

Georgina & Brett” – Latrobe Chapel Wedding

Jenny Cuerel Photography did a magnificent job capturing the love birds special day, and was clearly not phased by the stormy skies even capturing a double rainbow!

A little research on the meaning of double rainbows suggests that it is believed that because the colors are inverted with a double rainbow, with red appearing on the inside and violet on the outside. The first arc represents the material world, and the second arc signifies the spiritual realm. A double rainbow is considered to be a sign of future success. What an amazing omen to have a double rainbow greeting you on your wedding day wishing you every success for the future!

Dream Wedding at Summit Mt Coot-tha

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

There is always something magical about weddings at Summit Mt Coot-tha. As the name suggests it is located at the top of Mt Coot-tha boasting spectacular panoramic views over Brisbane City and way beyond.

Rhiannon and Drew were absolutely lovely throughout the planning of the ceremony and they shared the most amazing connection throughout their ceremony, all captured perfectly by Claire Pitcher Photography.

I am over the moon to receive such fantastic feedback from the happy newlyweds!

“We were extremely happy with Jamie’s professionalism as a Wedding Celebrant.

He was very knowledgeable in the planning stages of our wedding and was so helpful at guiding us through formal documentation in the early stages.

We greatly appreciated the ceremony run sheets that were provided to us and Jamie’s attention to detail was EXCEPTIONAL.

He was eloquent and we were extremely happy with how our wedding ceremony unfolded. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

What amazing feedback! Thank you so much for your kind words Rhiannon and Drew, it was an honour to be your Celebrant for your wedding at Summit Mt Coot-tha.

If you are planning a wedding at Summit Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane City Celebrants are probably the closest Celebrants to this venue.

By choosing a local Celebrant for your wedding you don’t need to stress about them making it come rain, hail or storms.

Plus it means we are also super familiar with the venue which is also a bonus and helps to ensure everything goes smoothly on the day.

Brisbane City Celebrants 2015 Highlights

on December 24, 2015 · 4 Comments

With Brisbane City Celebrants

As we reflect on 2015 our most amazing year to date, we are so thankful to all the wonderful couples we have had the absolutely pleasure of being the Celebrant for over the year.

Here are some of the highlights that made our year such a cracker!

QLD’s No.1 Recommended Celebrant on Google

It was such an honour for each of us to not only become the top 2 recommended Celebrants in Brisbane on Google, but for Jamie to become the No.1 recommended Marriage Celebrant on Google! Such a huge honour and a phenomenal achievement, all attributed to the wonderful feedback and recognition from our clients.

We are absolutely thrilled to have received 5 star reviews from so many of our clients telling us that we’re getting it right.

Brisbane City Celebrants are Brisbane's most highly recommended Marriage Celebrants.

We genuinely strive to make each and every one of our client’s ceremonies the highlight of their day so the rest of the day becomes a celebration of that.

Brisbane City Celebrants performed 3 same-sex weddings this year

Last year Brisbane City Celebrants performed our first ever same sex wedding (view their wedding highlight video here). We went on to perform a further 3 same sex weddings this year, so fingers crossed that means we’ll be booked for 9 next year?

We have learned so much and developed a genuine love and passion for celebrating same sex ceremonies.

We are passionate advocates for marriage equality and while civil partnerships have recently been introduced, which are a step in the right direction, with so many countries now legalizing same sex marriage, we REALLY hope to see marriage equality come to fruition in 2016.

Brisbane City Celebrants launched our revamped shiny new website

We were so excited to see our new and improved website go live! So much thought went in to making the user experience of our website easy and enjoyable. However our web developers couldn’t quite grasp our vision for our key point images, so Ciara took it on to herself to doodle her own little images, making our website as personalized as our ceremonies are for our clients!

Brisbane City Celebrants became TOP RATED Brisbane Celebrants on Easy Weddings

Having only been listed on the Easy Weddings website for 8 months, and in that time we are thrilled to have received 18 ‘5 STAR’ reviews from our clients! Making us TOP RATED BRISBANE CELEBRANTS on Easy Weddings.

A huge thank you to all of our clients that have kindly shared their wonderful feedback about us on here.

Every time we receive a notification of a review for us, whether it be Google or Easy Weddings or even on our Facebook page we are beside ourselves with happiness to hear that we helped to make a special day just that bit more special!

Easy Weddings – 5 STAR Celebrant Reviews

Brisbane City Celebrants fully booked in 2015

Demand for Brisbane City Celebrants increases year on year and yet again we FULLY BOOKED for 2015!

We feel so lucky that all our clients have been nothing short of amazing to work with, we truly feel blessed to have met and married so many incredibly lovely people.

We attribute this success to all our amazing clients, guests that have attended our weddings and the wedding vendors that have seen us in action, who have all been so kind to recommend us to new clients that they just know we are the right ‘fit’ for. We LOVE referrals!

We are so grateful to each and every one of our clients who have booked us and trusted us with such an important role on their special day, regardless of how many times we get to do this, it is always a huge honour that we will never take for granted. We truly believe we get to work with the best clients we could ever hope for!

That’s a wrap, thank you to each and every one of you that were a part of our 2015 – our BEST YEAR EVER!

We look forward to another amazing year in 2016.

Being the Wedding Celebrant for Claire and Jess

on December 22, 2015 · 2 Comments

Being the Wedding Celebrant for Claire and Jess….

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

Was such an honor and one of the highlights of my Celebrant year! The happy couple planned their big day with both their ceremony and reception held at unique Brisbane wedding venue, Cloudland, which just so happens to be the very same venue that I had the pleasure of performing Paul and Paul’s amazing same sex wedding last year.

Their ceremony took place in Cloudland’s stylish Cellar Room (check out those lights on the ceiling!) and the vibe of their ceremony was the perfect combination of meaningful and heartfelt, and upbeat and fun, with a few roars of laughter thrown in to get their marriage off to an amazing start!

The happy couple were kind enough to not only very thoughtfully send me these images, but they also gave me a 5 star review!

“Thank you so much Jamie for being a part of our magical day. Your personal touches and positive energy was very welcoming” – Jess & Claire

The connection between the 2 smitten brides was so apparent as you can see in the wonderful images captured by the talented team at Pelizzari Photography.

Brisbane City Celebrants are 100% behind marriage equality. We spend our weekends surrounded by couples in love and we believe everyone deserves the right to marry their soul mate and have the rights and recognition that marriage provides.

We can’t wait to make all our same sex couples marriages legal once equality is passed in Australia. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait much longer.

If you are looking for a Wedding Celebrant for your same sex wedding in Brisbane, or if you strongly support marriage equality and are looking for a like minded Celebrant, then we are well and truly on the same page so Brisbane City Celebrants would LOVE to hear from you!

Celebrant Recommendation – Pacific Golf Club Wedding

Celebrant Recommendation – Pacific Golf Club Wedding

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

To say I am absolutely blown away with the Celebrant recommendation I received from Flora and Ben following their very special big day would be an understatement!

Flora and Ben enjoyed a stunning ceremony on a beautiful day beneath a tree at the Pacific Golf Club in Carindale and it was all captured perfectly by the lovely Larissa of LD Imagery.

During their ceremony, we shared the story of how they connected and grew together, they exchanged vows and rings then sealed the deal before making their way back down the aisle as their guests showered in bubbles!

Celebrant Recommendation – Pacific Golf Club Wedding

Here is the glowing recommendation I received from the groom on behalf of the happy newlyweds.

“Jamie – what can I say! You are a gentleman and a genuine master of your craft. You put me at ease and your own love for life shines through in your work.

Please let us know how we can return the favour e.g. phone reference, written or social media stuff. Thanks again and take care big feller.” Ben

Ben also left the following 5 star review on our Brisbane City Celebrants Facebook page.

“Wow! Jamie is an absolute professional whose passion for life, calm and caring personality is just brilliant.

He made some great suggestions regarding the ceremony so I would say he has a ‘consultative’ approach which really sets him apart.

Jamie calmed my nerves and kept it fun. He even managed to keep me (the husband) engaged in planning / scripting of the vows which is no easy task, ladies take note: Jamie actually got a man to do some planning haha! I am only getting married once, but I would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie to family, friends and colleagues.

Thanks again” – Ben & Flora – Pacific Golf Club Wedding

You can truly get a sense of this couples happiness and excitement in these images of their Pacific Golf Club Wedding.

I am so grateful to the happy newlyweds for being so awesome to work with throughout the process of planning their ceremony, and also to Larissa of LD Imagery for being kind enough to share these perfectly captured images of their special day with me.

An interview with Queensland’s No.1 Celebrant

on October 26, 2015 · 7 Comments

An interview with Queensland’s No.1 Celebrant

With Celebrant Jamie Eastgate of Brisbane City Celebrants

It is such a huge honour for Jamie to be Queensland’s no.1 recommended Marriage Celebrant on Google, and we are simply in disbelief at all the amazing reviews that our couples write about their experience with each of us!

We are so grateful for all the support and kind words we have received from the wedding industry and we feel very privileged to have this milestone recognised by WEOA, who recently interviewed Jamie and featured the interview on their blog.

Interview with Queensland's no.1 Celebrant Jamie Eastgate

The team at WEOA even awarded Brisbane City Celebrants an outstanding excellence award in recognition of all of our dedication, commitment and passion in our role as Celebrants.

Here is a copy of the interview, happy reading!

We are so excited to announce that one of our most dedicated members has reached an impressive milestone.

Jamie of Brisbane City Celebrants was recently named Google’s Number 1, Most Recommended Celebrant for Brisbane and Queensland. What’s even more exciting is that his wife and partner in business, Ciara, is the 2nd Most Recommended Celebrant for Brisbane!

This wonderful couple are a dedicated pair of Marriage Celebrants who have been crafting unique and beautiful wedding ceremonies for years. As well as having countless 5 star testimonials from happy clients, they were recognised as one of the top three Celebrants in Queensland at the WEOA Awards for Excellence in 2014.

We caught up with the proud couple about this fantastic achievement and tips they have for couples when looking for a celebrant of their own.

Jamie, how do you feel about being the most highly recommended Marriage Celebrant in Queensland?

The best thing about achieving this milestone is the hearing that my clients have had an amazing day and that I have been a part of making their day even more special. Most of my couples haven’t been married before so they don’t have a comparison, however they know if it was a stress free process, if everything went seamlessly, and if the ceremony was a huge success!

What’s your favourite thing about your job?

Every wedding is unique. I love getting to be a part of the happiness at such a special moment in peoples lives.

Do you have any tips for couples who are looking for a celebrant?

There are such a huge variety of Celebrants available, so when it comes to finding a Celebrant that you gel with, there really is the right one out there for every couple.

Make sure you ask your prospective Celebrant if you will get to proof your ceremony wording so there are no unwanted surprises on the day. Also ask if they provide a high quality PA System so everyone can clearly hear and enjoy your ceremony and vows.

Finally, if they have any video clips of them performing a ceremony – watch them! This is a great way to not only see how they present themselves for a ceremony, but if they have the couple perfectly centered without their backs to anyone, if they appear to coordinate a smooth and seamless ceremony, put the couple at ease and if the tone that they present the ceremony in is appropriate and reflective of the exciting and happy celebration of love that a wedding is!

Do you have any tips for couples planning their ceremony?

Make the ceremony yours. If there is anything that doesn’t sit comfortably with you (such as a giving away or garter toss), don’t feel pressured to do it, or change it and do it your own unique way. You will enjoy your ceremony so much more and your guests will love your personal touches!

We are very proud of Jamie and Ciara and hope that they keep up their fantastic work.

At WEOA, we love to hear about the achievements of our members. After all, they are the elite of the wedding and events industry and it’s always great to see their hard work and dedication pay off. Plus, it’s always an excuse for a celebration!”

We’re off to pop open the champas now!
