Cheryl Landsberry - Marriage Celebrant

Married just hours before their engagement party.

Andrew and Gemmanda knew they wanted a short engagement. They decided to marry in an intimate, low-key wedding ceremony just hours before their official engagement party was due to start.
With friends and family arriving from near and far for a 2pm engagement party at Alexandra Hills Hotel, the couple scheduled their wedding ceremony for midday that day – with just immediate family present.

Gemmanda was in hair and makeup by 7am, with her dark hair piled up in curls fastened with pearl pins. She wore a fitted blush gown with a lace overly from Ravish Bridal at Slacks Creek.

With his Scottish heritage, Andrew decided to wear his family tartan, and although warm in the outfit, he looked very dapper.

The couple skipped all the trimmings – music, poems, flowery vows, and bridesmaids, and instead kept their ceremony simple and fuss free. They chose to include Andrew’s daughters in a family sand ceremony, with the girls choosing pink and purple sand to add to the engraved vase.

The couple then captured some portraits with photographer, Andy, before surprising guests at their engagement party – informing them that they were, in fact, attending a wedding reception!

What a fun and fuss-free way to celebrate!

March wedding at The Chef’s Manor, Anstead

Why not have both?
Ami and Johan work and live in Adelaide. But with Ami hailing from Brisbane, and Johan from South Africa, choosing a wedding location was a dilemma. The couple decided to have weddings in both Brisbane and South Africa.

Planning a wedding from interstate was a challenging prospect for Ami, however, she relied on review and recommendations when choosing suppliers. The couple chose the beautiful gardens at The Chef’s Manor, Anstead for their ceremony and celebrations. The venue has so many locations for pretty photo backdrops – manicured gardens, a white timber arbour, a stone wishing well, a gazebo, a red phone box, and a British red postal pillar.

Next, the couple found their celebrant, Cheryl Landsberry, via a recommendation. Being based in Adelaide, I was able to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage with the couple over Facetime – such a great option for interstate couples and I’m so very pleased that the Government decided to extend this option after the temporary provisions lapsed after the Covid contingencies.

We also shared ceremony ideas via email, allowing me to write a personal ceremony for the couple which suited their vibe. Their ceremony was created with a little tradition, a little humour. a little sugar, and a lot of sincerity.

Ami walked down the aisle with a stunning white lace dress with sheer panels. Her dark hair was curled, and she wore a veil and drop earrings. She carried a bouquet of white flowers. Lia, looking like a little princess, also wore a white dress. Johan was dapper in a classic black three piece suit with a bow tie. His mini-me, Ollie, wore a matching black suit and carefully carried the wedding rings in his pocket.

As the beaming couple walked back down the aisle hand-in-hand, they were showered with biodegradable confetti, which made for a joyous photo.

Guests enjoyed chilled drinks in the gazebo as the couple captured the moment with photographer, Judy, and videographer, Chris, from Iris Faith Photography.

When I was teaching the Certificate IV Celebrancy, students would often ask how I dealt with Bridezillas. The answer I was happy to provide is that I just don’t attract them.🤷‍♀️My people are genuine. They are couples who are just looking for a ceremony which reflects the two of them- a ceremony which is enjoyable, real, warm, and comfortable. 🌻

All you need is a shady tree by the bay. Here’s today’s micro wedding set up for a couple who have been together for many years, and didn’t want the fuss of a big wedding.

What do you love about being a Celebrant?
I love telling the couple's story, watching as the guests lean in to listen, enjoying the smiles, the laughs, the tears, the excitement, the connection of the moment.

A little bit about Cheryl
After being involved in my daughter's baby naming ceremony, I realised that I was witnessing one of those moments in time, and set out to become a celebrant myself. I was registered back in 2003, and have conducted hundreds of ceremonies in and around Brisbane since that time. With my penchant for learning and accuracy, I was sought out to become a trainer of celebrants, and delivered both the Certificate IV
Celebrancy for prospective celebrants and Ongoing Professional Development for existing celebrants. I enjoy writing personal ceremonies for couples, which are:
-Serious, significant, and legally correct to give respect to the importance of your life-changing promises.
-Humorous and entertaining to reflect your own personal and colourful story.
-Poignant and sentimental to draw a sniffle from the most toughened of old uncles.
-Elegant, Relaxed, enjoyable, and everything you dream of.

Thank you for referring me! I chatted to Sue yesterday who has booked me for her 2026 wedding. Where did she find me? Someone in a Facebook group recommended me. Recommendations are worth so much more than any advertising I could do. So to whoever gave the recommendation - thank you!🥰🥰

Wedding at Indigiscapes Native Gardens, Capalaba

Siobhan and Kieran planned their wedding as they lead their lives, aiming to tread lightly , respecting and enjoying our natural environment.

They chose the Indigiscapes Gardens, the site of their engagement, for their wedding day.

Kieran and Siobhan first met through mutual friends, and found themselves drawn to each other. As they spent more time together, Kieran appreciated Siobhan’s spontaneity, her resourcefulness, her dependability, and her giving nature. Siobhan valued how thoughtful and kind Kieran was, how true to his values he always remained, and his calm and easy-going nature.

As with everything in their life, the couple decided together that they had found their forever person, and designed an engagement ring to celebrate the occasion. They started making plans for their wedding, with family, warmth, and simplicity their central themes.

On their wedding day, a beautiful summer afternoon, clouds danced across the sun, providing a reprieve from the glare. Guests gathered around the amphitheatre at Indigiscapes, and assisted Kieran with last minute preparations, setting up cool drinks under the shady umbrellas.

Kieran and his groomsmen wore Earthy brown coloured trousers with a crisp white linen shirt. Kieran also wore a matching bow tie, and tied his curly locks back from his face.

Siobhan walked down the path, with her parents on either side, wearing an understated white, whimsical gown, with a low back, which skimmed over her slender figure. She wore her Auburn hair out in a cute bob, which enhanced her sparkling blue eyes. Along with the pearl drop earrings, her beaming smile was the only adornment needed for the day.

Siobhan chose a beautiful City and Colour song, “The Girl” to walk down the aisle to. Her three bridesmaids all wore dresses of Earthy brown hues, all in different styles. And they all carried bouquets of native flowers, clipped from Siobhan’s own garden.

The wedding ceremony was authentic, charming, and unassuming, reflecting the couple’s outlook. Their vows to each other were carefully thought out, personal, and just lovely. They chose, “Married Life” from the Movie, “Up” as a whimsical interlude while signing the marriage certificates, and invited their mothers as witnesses for the signing of the certificates.

As the couple walked out to their happily ever after, guests tossed native dried flowers in the air, making for a gorgeous photo. They were congratulated by family and friends, then photographer, Judy, captured some beautiful photos amongst the towering Eucalypts. Afterwards, the couple rejoined their guests for excited chatter and refreshments under the shady trees.

Micro wedding at Raby Bay Foreshore Park, Cleveland

Nikki and Dean relocated from the UK to Brisbane, created a life together, adopted their fur baby, Bruce, welcomed their daughter, bought a house, welcomed their son, and started a business. Planning a wedding took a back seat.

When their parents announced plans to visit Brisbane for Christmas, the couple decided this would be the perfect time to be married. They didn’t want anything soppy or mushy, and didn’t have time for intricate planning.

Dean and Nikki contacted the team at Elope Brisbane and chose the Twenty is Plenty package, which includes celebrant, photographer, arbour, 20 chairs, and 20 cupcakes. They chose the bamboo arbour with the macrame hanging for a boho look. And added a round cake for cutting, bouquets, and boutonnieres.

Being a summer wedding, Dean chose to wear chino shorts and a white linen shirt, as did Nikki’s dad. Nikki wore a beautiful trumpet style white lace gown with a train.

I played the ceremony songs through my PA system, with the couple choosing, “Sweet Disposition” by the Temper Trap for the processional, and “Let’s Get Married” from Trolls for the signing.
Their ceremony was short and sweet, and the kids ran around in the park while a few photos were taken.

As I was packing up my gear, I overheard Dean telling guests that everything had just turned out perfectly. Grooms just love that a wedding doesn’t have to mean stress, expense, and drama.

Afterwards, guests joined the couple at their home to celebrate.
