Dreaming of a Brisbane wedding that’s sophisticated, unconventional and thoroughly enjoyable? Heidi and Soeren achieved all that and so much more for their chic New Farm Park wedding.
As their celebrant, I had the privilege of creating a ceremony that was as elegant as it was engaging and fun, perfectly reflecting them and their love story.
Heidi and Soeren made their dream wedding a reality with:
- The stunning ceremony location – a magnificent tree backdrop and elegant ceremony styling by With Love – Brisbane Wedding Decorators.
- Having their wedding on a Friday – which meant the beautiful New Farm Park was lovely and quiet – it felt like we had it all to ourselves!
- Setting sail to celebrate – After the ceremony the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed celebratory drinks in the rotunda, before taking a very short stroll to the nearby River Hub where they all boarded the Yot for a reception cruise along the Brisbane River as the sun set.
Heidi and Soeren decided to wed on their 10-year anniversary together, which very fortunately for them landed on a Friday, meaning they were blessed with a serene afternoon in the park.
The grand old fig tree provided both shade and a stunning backdrop, complemented perfectly with classic white and ivory floral arrangements on plinths, and ceremony decor exuding timeless elegance.
A Ceremony Filled with Fun and Emotion
With a brief for a fun, happy enjoyable ceremony, we designed a celebration that was lighthearted and full of happiness and love.
Guests listened intently as I shared the story of how the couple first met while overseas in Europe, when with a dash of liquid courage, Heidi approached him, and asked if he spoke English? She couldn’t help but add, “And, by any chance do you like AC/DC?”
Caught off guard and feeling curious, he responded with a warm smile and said “Yes, I do speak English, and AC/DC? They rock!”
Their shared passion for Acca Dacca ignited an instant interest, leading to a connection that would shape their lives forever.
That chance encounter a decade prior, led to their love story spanning countries and cultures. Even though the funny thing was, they both didn’t actually really like ACDC all that much!
Setting Sail into Married Life
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed relaxed cocktail hour drinks within the rotunda while the newlyweds took a short wander around the park for location photos with their Photographer.
Then, the unique twist, everyone took a short stroll across to the ferry terminal where the luxurious yacht awaited. As the sun began to set, Heidi and Soeren cruised along the Brisbane River with their family and friends, celebrating their new chapter together. What a fantastic way to celebrate!
Heidi and Soeren’s wedding is a beautiful reminder that your wedding can be anything you dream it to be.
Unconventional Wedding Ideas
If you also love the idea of treating your guests by doing your wedding a little differently, the possibilities are endless.
From morning ceremonies, with lunch time celebrations, glamorous yacht cruises, to all-in-one outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour celebrations at one of Brisbane’s beautiful Botanic Gardens or parks, why not get a little creative and create a day that reflects you as a couple, that you know your guests will love every moment of.
As Brisbane Celebrants, we’re here to design and craft a ceremony that reflects you both, whether it’s filled with laughter, happy tears, or something a little different.
