Planning a Destination Wedding or Elopement?
Thinking of tying the knot with your toes in the sand, under a rainforest canopy, or at a scenic Gold Coast lookout?
Whether you're local, or coming from interstate or overseas, I love working with couples planning elopements and destination weddings.
The Gold Coast has some of the most stunning locations in the country—from beachside spots to lush hinterland hideaways—and I’d love to help you make the most of it with a relaxed, beautiful ceremony that captures your vibe.
Love is Love!
As a proud gay celebrant, based on the Gold Coast and Brisbane, I bring heart, humour and big community vibes to every wedding — LGBTQ+, straight, questioning, colourful, chaotic, beautifully blended… all of it.
Many LGBTQ+ couples choose me because I’m gay myself — someone who gets the pride, the resilience and the joy of our love.
Others choose me simply because they want their guests to walk away saying, “That was the best damn wedding we’ve ever been to.”
Either way, you get bulk laughs, good vibes and a ceremony that feels personal, inclusive and genuinely fun.
I’m here to make the whole experience stress‑free, supportive and full of heart.
I’m just a message away.
WEDDING SPOTLIGHT....
From the secret engagement, to planning their elopement in France, to officially marrying them in a surprise, intimate backyard ceremony and then finally celebrating with family and friends, as we recreated the most meaningful moments of their day.
This wedding had everything, and it was an absolute privilege to be part of it.
After a secret engagement, and planning meetings with me, Steve and Paris slipped away on a holiday to Europe, where they quietly had a commitment ceremony in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, beneath the Eiffel Tower.... telling no-one!
When they returned home, they began planning what everyone thought was simply their engagement party.
The night before the party, they invited Mum and Dad over to help with the preparations — only to surprise them with a secret backyard wedding, where we made it all official.
Then, the following night, at the "engagement party" itself, surrounded by family and friends who had flown in for the occasion, they revealed the truth, showing the amazing footage of their "secret" wedding from Paris at the party!
Then, so not to disappoint their families and guests, the Bride and Groom then we re-created some of the highlights and I "re-married" them for everyone at the party.
STEVE & PARIS
We can’t thank Steve Begley enough for helping make our surprise wedding such a magical and unforgettable experience!
From the very beginning, Steve was incredibly outgoing, warm, and professional. He went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our ceremony was perfect and tailored to our special needs.
His ability to keep things fun and lighthearted while maintaining the importance of the moment was truly impressive. Steve’s charisma and energy made everyone feel comfortable, and he created a ceremony that was heartfelt, unique, and perfectly “us.”
Our friends and family were blown away by the surprise, and a big part of that was Steve’s ability to make everything flow seamlessly.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who is not only experienced but also genuinely passionate about making your day extraordinary, we highly recommend Steve Begley!
Thank you, Steve, for being such an integral part of our special day!"
