WHAT INSPIRED YOU BOTH TO SAY “I DO” TO BECOMING CELEBRANTS?

“After planning our own wedding, we knew we’d found our calling: to become Celebrants who would elevate the entire ceremony experience. We reviewed and reimagined every part of the process, asking how it could be improved, simplified, and made more enjoyable for couples. We created innovative systems and tailored every ceremony to reflect each couple’s vision — something we continue to do today.

It’s been so rewarding to see how our enthusiasm and celebrant style have resonated with couples, allowing us to craft ceremonies that are truly happy and heartfelt. We’re incredibly grateful for this journey and for every couple we’ve had the joy of celebrating.”

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CELEBRANT STYLE?

“Our ceremonies are best described as happy, celebratory, light, and super enjoyable. Our signature style is warm and engaging, with each ceremony thoughtfully tailored to reflect our couples’ personalities, vibe, and vision.

We take pride in ensuring every ceremony flows smoothly and is thoroughly enjoyed by everyone on the day. Our newlyweds often comment on how organised and stress-free the experience was — and how much they valued our calm, reassuring presence.”

HOW DOES YOUR DYNAMIC AS A COUPLE HELP BRING EACH LOVE STORY TO LIFE?

“We genuinely want every ceremony to feel as good as it looks. With a shared purpose of creating the best possible experience for each couple, we love working together to provide both celebrant and ceremony styling services.

We bring a unique balance of calm energy and creative passion to every event. Collaborating as a duo means we can brainstorm ideas, write our signature light-hearted or heartfelt ceremonies together, and support each other creatively. At With Love Brisbane Wedding Decorators, Cara designs beautiful new ceremony backdrops — and Jamie brings them to life with precision craftsmanship.”

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE OVER 600 FIVE-STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS ACROSS YOUR ‘WITH LOVE’ BRANDS?

“We’re honestly so honoured to receive such positive feedback. Every review tells a story about a couple who trusted us with one of the most important days of their lives. It’s heartwarming to hear which parts of the experience meant the most to them.

We believe our warmth, communication, and attention to detail truly stand out. We make sure every couple feels heard, valued, and excited about their ceremony — and that they can completely trust us with their day.”

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO EXPAND YOUR CELEBRANT SERVICES FROM BRISBANE WEDDINGS TO THE STUNNING DESTINATION OF PALM COVE AND THE CAIRNS NORTHERN BEACHES?

“We’re so excited to launch With Love Elopements, extending our signature elopement celebrant service to this breathtaking part of Queensland. With its serene atmosphere and scenic coast, Palm Cove offers a unique tropical backdrop. Making destination weddings seamless, stunning, and heartfelt for couples and their guests is truly a privilege.”

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT BEING CELEBRANTS?

“There are so many highlights, but a few of our favourites stand out: that first meeting with a couple, feeling their excitement, sharing ideas, and designing a ceremony that’s perfectly theirs; the incredible atmosphere on the day, filled with love, joy, and celebration; seeing the ceremony come together with genuine smiles, laughter, and happy tears; knowing we’ve helped create memories that will be cherished for years to come; and receiving heartfelt messages and five-star reviews from our couples, which truly means the world to us. We absolutely love being celebrants and celebrating love!”

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIP FOR COUPLES PLANNING A CEREMONY?

“To ensure everything goes smoothly, choose a Celebrant who encourages you to read, proof, and contribute to your ceremony wording. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect, helping you feel calm and confident. You can make sure your ceremony truly reflects you as a couple—in tone, length, and flow—while avoiding any awkward surprises on the day. It also gives you the chance to confirm important announcements, like unplugged ceremonies or photo permissions.

BONUS TIP: Have drinks service start right after the group photo! It keeps the celebratory energy flowing and lets guests mingle while you enjoy family photos.”
