A simple, carefree elopement for two free-spirited country types in love.
Written by Cheryl Landsberry Celebrant Photos by Romana Saeheng “Taila had butterflies in her tummy when she first laid eyes on Trevor. Trevor thought Taila was just gorgeous, and he instantly wanted to kiss her. As they chatted, Taila noticed how gentlemanly and softly spoken Trevor was. She knew straight away that he was the one for her.” Taila and Trevor were planning a big, rustic styled wedding. Then they started thinking about what was really important to them.

Fur babies are a VIP guest at our weddings
Criona and Michael had just one request for their micro wedding at Kangaroo Point – they wanted their pup, Fenton, to be included in the ceremony. This was no problem for the team at Elope Brisbane, who are always delighted to work with furbabies. Stylist, Miss Weddings, created a circular seating arrangement for ceremony guests with the Brisbane River as the backdrop, on a glorious afternoon.

Only a short drive from…

Victoria & Brody’s Beautiful Bayside Micro-Wedding
Written by Ketrina Coffey Celebrant A Bayside ‘Micro-Wedding’ was the way to go for Victoria and Brody, and it was just beautiful. Commonly the case over the last crazy year, Victoria and Brody couldn’t go ahead with their big wedding as planned. But they still wanted to be married, especially since they now have bub on the way. So, they decided to get hitched and do the whole ‘wedding thing’ when restrictions allow. As their celebrant, I first met with the ‘Newly-Weds-to-be’ over coffee just five weeks before their wedding day… just in time to lodge the paperwork*. Victoria and Brody were pretty undecided of what they wanted from their ‘micro-wedding’; Brody still wanted some wedding traditions, whereas Victoria wanted to keep the ceremony as simple as…
