Pop Up Wedding at Fiction Bar and Restaurant, Raby Bay Harbour


The concept of a Pop-Up Wedding is a fairly recent phenomenon, but it is a concept which has become popular with couples looking for an easy and affordable wedding option.

The team at Elope Brisbane create a couple of Pop Up Wedding events each year, at different locations around Brisbane. Couples are able to save expense by sharing the set up costs with other couples by using the same venue on the same day.

Fiction Bar and Restaurant at Raby Bay Marina, Cleveland, was the setting for one such Pop Up Wedding package.

Both busy working long hours, Myrlie and Craig thought the Pop Up Wedding event at Fiction Bar and Restaurant at Raby Bay Marina looked like the perfect option for their wedding. They chose the lunch option for their celebrations. 

Suzie from An Eye for Style Wedding Hair and Makeup at Cleveland styled Myrlie's hair, then Steve from Kandid Kombi picked her up from the salon and transported her to Fiction Bar, where Mel from Miss Weddings had an arbour and chairs set up for the ceremony. A bouquet of flowers was provided for Myrlie, with a bouttoniere for fiance Craig.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry delivered a sweet and light ceremony for the couple, with photographer Romana Saeheng capturing pics of the couple, and then taking them on a photo shoot around the marina at Raby Bay.

The package included a lunch at Fiction Bar and Restaurant at Raby Bay Marina.

The wedding cake, which was also included in the package, was from our local cake artist, Simone from Cakes by Simone. 

The next Pop Up wedding date with the team at Elope Brisbane is 23/6/23 at Point Lookout, North Stradbroke Island. This is a ceremony only package, with clients able to source their own meal locations on the island. Four elopement times are available, with two sittings booked, and a third in negotiation. The couple, with up to ten guests, are provided with ceremony styling, a celebrant to legally officiate at the ceremony, a photographer to capture the ceremony with family and couple photos to follow, and a dozen cupcakes.
