A Beautiful Elopement surrounded by nature at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens
I recently had the absolute pleasure of celebrating a truly special nature inspired Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens elopement. With the endless variety of lush subtropical greenery and nature all around and the peaceful lake as a backdrop, it was the perfect setting for a relaxed, heartfelt ceremony.
5 STAR REVIEW
I’m so grateful to have received this lovely 5-star review from the happy couple, who describe their Celebrant experience:
We highly recommend Jamie from With Love Elopements!
His expert guidance made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. He provided us with helpful information and recommendations.
He was the perfect Celebrant for our simple, intimate elopement at Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens under the beautiful tree overlooking the lake. The location was stunning and we couldn’t have been happier.
We’re so grateful to have had him by our side on such a special day! Thank you so much Jamie 🙏” Angela + Sashi

A ceremony that felt just right
Their ceremony, while short and simple, was full of meaning and emotion. With the lake shimmering behind them and the gentle sounds of nature around, it was a truly magical moment. Their nature inspired Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens elopement ceremony was authentic and relaxed, exactly what they envisioned.

Making the most of the gardens
The couple booked a 2-hour photo package with their photographer Vellum Studio, which gave them plenty of time to wander through the beautiful gardens and capture some amazing shots. From vibrant flowers to quiet lakeside moments, the photos perfectly reflect the happiness and connection of the day. A wonderful way to really soak in the atmosphere while creating lasting memories.
