Jennifer & Adam’s Wedding at Crystalbrook Hotel,
Howard Smith Wharves
There are some weddings that stay with you forever, and Jennifer and Adam’s celebration at the breathtaking Crystalbrook Hotel at Howard Smith Wharves was undoubtedly one of those. After 20 incredible years together, they finally tied the knot, and it was nothing short of magical. A story of love, family, and unforgettable memories, their wedding was a true testament to the strength and beauty of their bond.
The Venue: Crystalbrook Hotel
A huge shoutout to Nancy and her amazing team at Crystalbrook Hotel for pulling off what can only be described as the wedding of the century. Every detail was meticulously planned, and the service was flawless. Not only did they create the perfect atmosphere for Jennifer and Adam’s big day, but they also went above and beyond to ensure that every single guest—including myself—was well looked after. The backdrop of Howard Smith Wharves added that extra touch of magic, blending stunning city views with the romance of the Brisbane River.
The Couple: Beautiful Inside and Out
Jennifer and Adam are the kind of couple who light up a room just by walking in. Their love for each other was evident in every glance, every laugh, and every touch. As gorgeous as they are on the outside, they’re even more stunning on the inside. Their kindness and warmth made the day feel so welcoming and full of love.
I loved hearing the couple talk about their shared love of 80s music and chess, which they play regularly every Friday night. What a retro love story—a true reflection of their unique and enduring connection.
Their daughter—their bridesmaid—was a vision of beauty herself. She radiated pride and happiness for her parents, and watching their bond throughout the day was one of the many highlights of the celebration.
The Ceremony: Dani Baker’s Magic Touch
The beautiful Dani Baker officiated the ceremony, and it was everything you could dream of: heartfelt, intimate, and perfectly tailored to Jennifer and Adam’s story. The way she brought their 20 years of love to life in her words left everyone with happy tears and hearts full of joy.
The Dream Team of Vendors
A wedding like this doesn’t come together without an incredible team of vendors, and Jennifer and Adam’s lineup was nothing short of perfection:
- Hair & Makeup: Renin Glah and Beauty by Bliss ensured Jennifer and her daughter looked absolutely flawless from morning to night. Their natural, glowing looks perfectly complemented the day’s romantic vibe.
- Celebrant: Dani Baker @danibaker_celebrant
- Florals: Fig + Bloom outdid themselves with breathtaking arrangements. The soft elegant blooms perfectly enhanced the venue’s beauty and added an extra layer of magic to the ceremony and reception.
- Dress: Jennifer’s gown from The Bridal Company was nothing short of spectacular. She looked every bit the timeless bride, and the dress moved beautifully as she walked down the aisle.
