Carly and Josh’s Bayside Wedding at G.J. Walter Park and the Grand View Hotel, Cleveland

 

Josh and Carly chose an intimate bayside ceremony at G.J. Walter Park, Cleveland, with four special guests, followed by a reception dinner with family and friends at the nearby Grand View Hotel.

Josh arrived first with his brother-in-law, looking sharp in a black suit and teal blue tie. His mum soon joined him in a royal blue dress.

Carly arrived with her dad in an immaculate 1951 Jaguar Mk 5. Greg wore a dapper checked suit, while Carly looked elegant in an ivory satin gown with a deep V neckline, low back, beaded veil, classic upstyle, and white rose bouquet.

Josh had been calm and collected, but softened as soon as he saw Carly walking towards him. They took hands beneath the shady Moreton Bay fig tree.

Set on the edge of Moreton Bay, G.J. Walter Park provided a natural, quietly elegant backdrop for their vows. The ceremony felt intimate, relaxed, and deeply romantic.

After photos by the bay, the couple headed to the Grand View Hotel, where they surprised guests at their engagement party by revealing they were actually celebrating their marriage. With its history, bay views, and welcoming atmosphere, it was a beautiful place to share a meal and toast their new beginning.

The reception brought heartfelt speeches, laughter, beautiful food, and time for guests to connect. Cleveland’s relaxed coastal charm paired perfectly with the warmth of the Grand View Hotel.

From their micro ceremony to their joyful party reception, Carly and Josh’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and togetherness.

Melissa and Kurt's Cleveland micro wedding

Beneath the giant fig tree at G J Walter Park, Kurt and Mel tied the knot in a simple and intimate ceremony.

Kurt waited anxiously in front of the bamboo arbour, looking smart in a navy jacket with a navy tie and black trousers. Mel arrived in the orange Kombi van, accompanied by her son, Oscar, who was dapper in a pale blue suit, matching the dresses of Mel’s daughters. Mel’s hair was swept up in a sophisticated French roll, and she wore an off the shoulder ivory dress of stretch lace. Mel’s bouquet of white roses was a classic teardrop shape.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued at the historic Grand View Hotel, a fitting place to share good food, music, laughter, and the joy of this unforgettable day.

Congratulations, Kurt and Mel. May the life you begin today be as beautiful, grounded, and enduring as the promises you made to each other.
