25.01.2022 I’m sure you have all heard the most recent government ruling with regard to weddings. As of 26 March 2020, your only option is to marry now, party later. A wedding can only proceed with those legally required to attend:... The celebrant. The couple. 2 x witnesses (who must be over the age of 18). And of course we must adhere to the 4 square metre social distancing regulations. : . Some couples are choosing to proceed this way; getting married now and partying with their family and friends at a later date (ie postponing their reception). I am offering a very special elopement package for couples choosing to proceed this way! Understandably, most are choosing to postpone the entire day, which I am also very happy to support!! If you are postponing your wedding please get in touch asap to secure your new date. Thinking of you all. Stay safe. Carly See more

22.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL We had the pleasure of having Carly as our wedding celebrant on Monday and my new husband and I were simply blown away by the beautiful job she did. Carly was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning. We immediately felt at ease with her and knew we could trust her to create our dream ceremony. Her vibe and personality were exactly what we were looking for: young, fresh and engaging.... Carly’s delivery was flawless and her presentation was beautiful on the day. Her calming nature also helped to settle the nerves for both myself and my husband. We could not recommend her more! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts Carly! Lee & Dave’s wedding was magical! Thank you so much for including me and for your very kind words @graemepassmore

22.01.2022 Nick and Hayley were married by me at Mooloolaba Beach. I cannot believe how quickly time flies but on the weekend they celebrated their one year anniversary I am so grateful for these kind words they sent me after their ceremony:... "Words cannot describe just how perfect Carly made our wedding ceremony. Carlys mix of passion, professionalism and attention to detail was far beyond our expectations. She took the time and effort to understand exactly what we wanted, which resulted in our dream ceremony. Carly goes above and beyond any celebrant we have ever witnessed. From the coaching of our vows to the organisation of every legal requirement, even knowing exactly what to wear to suit our theme - she completely ticked every box. We were so lucky and grateful to have been recommended to Carly and cant thank her enough. Thank you so much Nick and Hayley and congratulations on your anniversary!! @jaxoliverweddings / #carlysladereview

19.01.2022 Introducing Mr & Mrs Woods How gorgeous are Kaitlyn and Lachlan! I had the best time at their beautiful wedding this afternoon at The Calile Hotel Wishing the newlyweds the most wonderful evening, congratulations and much love to you both

17.01.2022 This year has been tough on so many industries, including ours.. But despite the adversity of being married in 2020, the year has brought some of the most beautiful, raw and unforgettable moments that, in my role as a celebrant, I have ever had the honour of bearing witness to. Whilst I cannot wait to get back to a full wedding season and to marrying couples in front of thriving crowds of as many guests as they choose....I have equally fallen in love with the intimate e...lopements that proceeded this year. There is something magical about them. Whether or not you believe in soul mates, destiny or fate..to marry another is a choice, a wonderful choice and, at the end of the day, all you need to make it happen, is love. These images were taken during Krystal and Amanda’s elopement in August by @redtentphotographyandfilm Congratulations Krystal & Amanda and thank you so much for including me See more

16.01.2022 01 March 2020 marks the first anniversary of Mr & Mrs James! Moving to the Cleveland Terrace Apartments was the single greatest decision of Taylors life. Because, unbeknownst to him at the time, this was where the love of his life was already residing. Every time Taylor and Gillian bumped into each other on the stairs or crossed paths in the carpark, it felt like fate.... Congratulations on your first anniversary Gillian and Taylor!

14.01.2022 Erin and Andy were married by me last Friday. The incredible venue that is Spicers Peak Lodge provided a stunning rural backdrop for their nuptials. Congratulations Erin and Andy and thank you so very much for including me in your beautiful wedding.

14.01.2022 Mr & Mrs McKinnon Zoe and Jack are high school sweethearts. At the end of year 11, their paths officially crossed when they attended the same party. Zoe and Jack ended up dancing together, the night was going great..untilZoe (who was drinking the teenage girl staple red vodka cruisers) accidentally spilt her entire drink all over Jacks brand spanking new white sneakers ... Zoe laughed (nervously), but Jack (smiling through gritted teeth) told her that it was ok. Zoe fell in love with Jacks smile then and there. Zoe and Jack explained that they started out as small town teenagers, with no clue about life, to dead-broke university students, to now young adults navigating careers and working toward a shared future. And the one constant through out every stage has been their unconditional love for each other. They were married by me late last year at @highchurchbrisbane and @love_ofmine captured this image mid ceremony Zoe and Jack thank you so much for allowing me to tell your story and play a part in your beautiful wedding

11.01.2022 What a wonderful week of weddings Congratulations to Jo & Ryan, Jordan & James and Grace & Joshua Thank you so much for including me

11.01.2022 Mr & Mrs Armstrong Tracey and Matt met on a Friday evening...off the back of a coin toss. Tracey was on a girls night out with an indecisive friend and rather than aimlessly try to find the next on trend bar, the girls decided to follow the toss of a coin. If the coin toss was heads, they would have a drink at the next bar they found going left. And if tails, they would have a drink at the next bar they found going right. The rules were simple, no matter how bad the ba...r, one drink was compulsory. If there happened to be any talent at a bar, a second or third drink was permitted. Matt was out with his mates Andy and Tom at one of their favourite Friday night venues, the Victory Hotel, when the fate of the coin toss brought Tracey into the beer garden for one compulsory drink. Matt and Tracey struck up a conversation at the bar and the coin was not flipped again. Fast forward 7 years and they were married by me at Lightspace Brisbane. Thank you for including me in your beautiful wedding Tracey & Matt and for sharing these gorgeous images captured by @benandhopephotography

11.01.2022 Before I became a celebrant I worked in Allied Health at The Prince Charles Hospital, and over the years have married quite a few couples who share a TPCH connection. Including Meghan and Anu who met at the hospital during Meghans first week working there. On the day Anu proposed, whilst Meghan was at work, he set about preparing the apartment with balloons, flowers, candles and a rolling collection of photos from their previous travels and life together.... Anu tells me he nearly passed out from blowing up 300 balloons! So it seemed fitting that they were married under a gorgeous arbour adorned with balloons As you can see from this image, their ceremony was lots of fun Thank you again for including me in your beautiful wedding Meghan and Anu! by Ephemeral Creative by Kate Dawes Flower Design Blackbird Bar & Restaurant Brisbane See more

11.01.2022 I adore Lauren and Jamie and their wedding at @gabbinbarhomestead was so very beautiful When Lauren first met Jamie she noticed his strong preference for Aussie slang, how loud he was and how much he made her laugh. Its fair to say that Jamie is a blokey bloke, who absolutely nailed his vows!... So heres a little #vowinspo for the grooms @michaelkellyfilms See more

09.01.2022 Sophie and Steve are the most beautiful couple. The beach has always been their happy place, where they especially enjoy sharing sunrises and sunsets together.

09.01.2022 Congratulations to David and Marcio who celebrated their first wedding anniversary over the weekend! As you can see - I was so happy to be involved in their day aboard the MV Lady Brisbane. And I will forever be humbled by the beautiful testimonial they left me:... "Im not sure any words will ever be able to express how thankful we are to Carly for the massive role she played in the most important day of our lives. The ceremony Carly conducted was very personal and intimate but also fun and funny and she captured us perfectly in how she put the ceremony together. The feedback weve had from guests since the wedding has been phenomenal (and that includes some serious wedding veterans!). Carly is the ultimate professional, even having tissues on hand when we both turned to blubbering messes! We always felt like we were in safe hands with Carly, she not only put us at ease but showed she really wanted to make sure the ceremony was unique to us, and it truly was. So, once again, thank you Carly from the bottom of our hearts. You are a very special person with a very special gift and were so glad that we got the opportunity to meet you." Much love to you David and Marcio xx by Soda Photography

06.01.2022 There is no greater feeling than seeing someone you love happy. I cannot watch this video without a smile - ear to ear (and maybe a couple of tears the first time I watched it). A few months ago I had the privilege of officiating the wedding of my brother Matt to his now husband Tim.... It was the most wonderful celebration of love, commitment, friendship and family. @mitchlallyfilms has done an incredible job of capturing all the feels from a day that my family and I will always treasure. Congratulations again Matt & Tim! Heres to a lifetime of love and happiness

06.01.2022 Damon recalls the exact moment that he realised he was in love with Lucy. They were at what is now their house when Lucy, quite surprisingly at the time, went out on a real limb and told Damon that she loved him. Damon remembers pausing - and he is sure Lucy thought it was because he was trying to conjure up a polite response that wasnt, thank you. But the reason he stopped was because he had been grappling with how to explain his feelings about Lucy for quite ...some timeand was taken off guard by how neatly LOVE summed it up. It was a true a-ha moment. They were married by me yesterday at The Refinery in what can only be described as one hell of a celebration attended by 120+ of their nearest and dearest. Congratulations Lucy and Damon - what an incredible wedding! Thank you so very much for including me xx

06.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL Denise and Matt kindly sent me these words following their beautiful wedding. I am so lucky to meet such gorgeous couples "Matt and I just wanted to properly thank you for being the most amazing celebrant for our wedding. I’ve watched the ceremony video a few times now and can’t fault it it truly was perfect; from the way you personalised the ceremony to us, to the way you presented in such a way as to engage with our guests (both those that attended in per...son and those on the live stream). Thank you for making one of the most important moments of our lives extra special! We are very grateful for your efforts on the day, and also your guidance in the lead up to the wedding. We have received so many comments from our guests (including those who watched the live stream) about how amazing you were." @quincenmulberry

06.01.2022 Im heading back to Gabbinbar Homestead tomorrow. So I thought it was timely to share these photos from Jane and Chris weddings Jane and Chris owe their paths crossing to Origin Energy. Jane was already working for the company when Chris joined as a consultant. One morning, on the teams usual coffee jaunt, Jane noticed a new face at the rear of the pack. A colleague introduced them, and a very formal handshake and locking of eyes followed.... Jane thought Chris was handsome, he was well dressed and had the perfect smile. In turn, Chris was very impressed by Jane, he thought she was gorgeous, and as an added bonus she ordered the same coffee as him. For the last couple of years Jane and Chris have lived together in the UK, however decided to get married in Australia - the country that brought them together. They were married by me on the beautiful grounds of Gabbinbar Homestead I met them for the first time (in person) on their wedding day - but felt like I knew them so well! by Willidea Photography & Videography Studio by Poppies For Willow See more

03.01.2022 Thank you to Wendy Makin for including me in their article about choosing a celebrant. Seeing my name included as one of Australia's finest (celebrants) is incredibly humbling

03.01.2022 COVID-19 As the situation around the world related to COVID-19 continues to change, I wanted to reassure my couples that I have no plans to cancel any weddings and I continue to be available to couples who have booked me as their celebrant for face to face planning meetings. As a business, I will continue to Monitor Government regulations and recommendations. As an individual I will continue to implement high levels of personal hygiene (hand washing), and please do not be of...fended if I refrain from hugging you the next time we meet or shaking hands with your guests. If I become unwell, I have a contingency plan set out. To assist with this I ask that all ceremonies are finalised at least 2 weeks prior to your wedding date. If you have any concerns about your wedding, please feel free to contact me. I have already had a few couples wishing to change venues, or ceremony times - I strive to be as flexible as possible during this period! I say it time and time again, I am so blessed to work with such wonderful couples. My love, thoughts and sympathy go out to all of you who are struggling with uncertainty around your wedding day. Please get in touch if I can help in any way, perhaps to provide strategies on how other couples are managing adversities. Best wishes to you and your family. Carly x @laurasladephotography

03.01.2022 Ashlee and Steve are the sweetest couple! They met 12 years ago over the phone, when Ashlee called Steves house enquiring about horse agistment (like me, you will probably need to google what that is ). Steve, who never usually answered the home phone to avoid such enquiries, was thrilled to have taken this call. Because - in his words Ashlee had him at hello! They were married by me at Hillstone St Lucia and I am so grateful for these beautiful words they sent me fol...lowing their wedding: Carly we cannot thank you enough for giving us the perfect ceremony. You had everyone crying because they could feel the love and also from laughter. We found you through high recommendation and you exceeded expectations from day one. You made us at ease and we loved every second of the process with you, and of course the ceremony was beyond amazing. So many people commented how they loved you, or wished they had you as their celebrant! THANK YOU!
