A Romantic Brisbane River view Wedding

The ceremony featured our brand-new curved floral stage backdrop, thoughtfully designed to accompany our round wedding stage, to provide a luxurious, elevated layer for clouds of ivory hydrangeas to flow. This created a dreamy ceremony setting, lovingly wrapped around the couple as they shared their vows.

To fit with the couple’s vision for their wedding being an elegant, relaxed, enjoyable celebration, they also added our chic white cocktail tables and bar stools and our stylish Hampton style bar and A frame table for cocktail hour celebrations.

Prior to the ceremony commencing, Jamie Eastgate shared some announcements and warmed up the guests ready for a very special arrival.

The Couple’s Heartfelt Ceremony

The ceremony commenced with a very touching moment, when the bride was walked down the aisle by her two triplet brothers — a loving and memorable moment.

In a creative twist to traditional arrivals, the bride decided on her grand reveal being a front-facing arrival. This allowed guests an uninterrupted panoramic view of the arrival of the bride with the Brisbane River in the backdrop, without having to stand and twist around to get that first glimpse of the bride behind. Instead, the only person needing to turn around to see the bride was the groom.

Celebrant Jamie Eastgate led a heartfelt, happiness-filled ceremony. Sharing the couples love story, it was a true celebration that perfectly reflected the couple and captured the essence of the day.

marriage certificate signing surprise

Then came a very special surprise, after signing their marriage certificates, the bride’s father discreetly set up a framed photo on an easel hidden beneath a drape.

The couple made their way back to the stage, ready to be introduced as husband and wife, only to find this surprise waiting for them…

The bride’s father revealed the surprise announcing the official adoption of their beloved dog Ollie, who while owned by the bride’s parents, became so obsessed with the couple (and likewise, them with him), that he pretty much ended up living with them and unofficially being ‘their dog’. So, this was the perfect time to officially make Ollie part of their family right there at the ceremony.

The moment was met with laughter, joy and a very excited and inquisitive Ollie.

5-star feedback

We couldn’t be happier to receive this 5-star review from the happy newlyweds:

“From my very first enquiry, Jamie and Cara from Brisbane City Celebrants and With Love – Brisbane Wedding Decorators were nothing short of exceptional.

Their communication was consistently prompt and professional, and they provided invaluable guidance on both the ceremony setup and cocktail hour styling to perfectly complement the theme we had envisioned.

Jamie, who officiated our ceremony, was approachable, warm, and genuinely invested in making our day memorable. His calm and personable nature immediately put us at ease, and he delivered the ceremony with grace, sincerity, and just the right touch of humour.

We opted for the sweetheart ceremony stage adorned with the neutral floral arrangement and the raised meadow style backdrop, beautifully organised by Cara. The setup was absolutely breathtaking – it truly exceeded anything we could have imagined. Cara’s attention to detail and creative styling brought our vision to life in the most elegant and romantic way.

I wholeheartedly believe Jamie and Cara went above and beyond for us.

Our ceremony not only met but far surpassed our expectations, and our wedding day simply would not have been as magical without their expertise, support, and care.

We are deeply grateful to them both and would enthusiastically recommend Brisbane City Celebrants and With Love – Brisbane Wedding Decorators to any couple seeking a seamless and beautiful wedding experience.” A+J
