I'm Trudy, an authorised marriage celebrant who creates relaxed, heartfelt and personalised wedding ceremonies throughout the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Scenic Rim and South East Queensland.
Every couple is different, and I believe every ceremony should be too. Whether you're planning a luxury wedding, a laid-back celebration, a micro wedding, an elopement or a simple legal-only ceremony, I'll help you create a ceremony that feels authentic, engaging and completely your own.
Why Get Married on the Gold Coast?
The Gold Coast offers an incredible variety of wedding locations.
You can exchange vows with the ocean behind you, celebrate in a luxury hinterland estate, host a garden wedding surrounded by rainforest or enjoy an elegant reception overlooking rolling vineyards.
With beautiful weather, world-class venues and breathtaking scenery, it's easy to see why so many couples choose the Gold Coast for their wedding day.
Some of the Gold Coast's Best Wedding Venues
One of the best parts of being a Gold Coast marriage celebrant is working at such an incredible variety of venues. Whether your style is coastal, country or contemporary, there's a venue to suit every couple.
The Valley Estate – Currumbin Valley
Nestled in the beautiful Currumbin Valley, The Valley Estate is one of the Gold Coast's premier luxury wedding venues. With elegant European-inspired gardens, beautifully restored buildings and exclusive use of the estate, it's ideal for couples wanting an unforgettable all-in-one wedding experience.
Riverwood Weddings – Maudsland
Surrounded by lush gardens and towering trees, Riverwood Weddings offers a peaceful setting that feels miles away from the city. The beautiful chapel, landscaped grounds and reception spaces make it a wonderful choice for couples wanting a romantic hinterland-style wedding.
Braeside at Gin House Creek Estate – Merrimac
Braeside at Gin House Creek Estate combines country charm with sophisticated styling. Set amongst picturesque gardens and heritage buildings, it's a popular venue for couples wanting an elegant wedding in a relaxed environment.
Cowbell Creek – Austinville
If you're dreaming of a rustic wedding surrounded by nature, Cowbell Creek is a beautiful choice. Set amongst rolling hills in Austinville, this venue offers a peaceful countryside setting that's perfect for relaxed celebrations with spectacular photo opportunities.
Cedar Creek Estate – Mount Tamborine
Located in the heart of the Gold Coast hinterland, Cedar Creek Estate is famous for its winery, beautiful gardens and mountain views. It's a wonderful venue for couples wanting a romantic vineyard wedding with everything conveniently in one location.
Gold Coast Farm House
For couples who love modern country style, Gold Coast Farm House offers a beautiful blend of rural charm and contemporary elegance. The wide-open spaces and relaxed atmosphere make it perfect for creating a truly memorable wedding day.
Kirra Beach House
If an oceanfront celebration is more your style, Kirra Beach House offers stunning beachfront views and a vibrant coastal atmosphere. It's ideal for couples wanting to celebrate beside the ocean with exceptional food, spectacular sunsets and relaxed Gold Coast vibes.
Bilinga Beach Weddings
For couples dreaming of a true beachfront ceremony, Bilinga Beach Weddings offers one of the Gold Coast’s most relaxed and naturally beautiful coastal settings. With long stretches of golden sand, ocean views and a quiet, less crowded atmosphere compared to some of the more tourist-heavy beaches, Bilinga is perfect for intimate ceremonies, elopements and laid-back celebrations right by the water. It’s ideal for couples wanting a simple, meaningful “feet in the sand” wedding with the ocean as their backdrop.
A Ceremony That Reflects Your Relationship
Your wedding ceremony isn't just the legal part of the day—it's the moment you become married.
That's why I take the time to learn about your story, your personalities and what's important to you.
Together we'll create a ceremony that's:
Relaxed and engaging
Romantic without feeling overdone
Personal and authentic
Filled with meaningful moments
Enjoyable for you and your guests
The best ceremonies leave everyone smiling, laughing and maybe even reaching for a tissue.
I'll Take Care of the Legal Details
Getting married involves legal paperwork, but it doesn't have to be complicated.
As an authorised marriage celebrant, I'll guide you through every step, including:
Preparing your Notice of Intended Marriage
Completing all legal documentation
Explaining the marriage process
Conducting your legal ceremony
Lodging your marriage paperwork after your wedding
Everything is handled professionally so you can simply enjoy your engagement.
A Calm, Supportive Presence on Your Wedding Day
One of the things my couples often tell me is how reassuring it was to have someone calm and organised leading their ceremony.
From our first meeting until you walk back down the aisle as newlyweds, I'll be there to make sure everything flows beautifully, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment.
