Benjamin Carlyle delivers the perfect ceremony as a Fins Plantation House Wedding celebrant for Laura and Evan, set in the lush Tweed Coast hinterland. The venue delivers rolling hills, award-winning service, and its iconic cocktails, making it one of the region’s most loved wedding destinations just ten minutes from Kingscliff’s beaches. After a longer Covid delay, they married with their little boy by their side, and the moment carried extra meaning for everyone present. As their Tweed Coast marriage celebrant, I guided a ceremony filled with happy tears, laughter, and deep connection.
Highlights From Their Fins Plantation House Wedding Celebrant
Why This Ceremony Stood Out
- Stunning Hinterland Setting: Fins Plantation House surrounds couples with lush views and soft May weather. The landscape elevates the ceremony and grounds each moment.
- Signature Fins Cocktails: The bar serves its well-known cocktails during golden hour. The drinks boost the atmosphere and give guests a signature Fins experience.
- Family Involvement: Both sets of parents joined the ceremony to welcome each other’s children. Their presence strengthened the moment and symbolised unity.
- Child-Friendly Celebration: Their little boy added warmth and meaning to every stage of the day. His presence shaped the energy and softened the emotion.
- Joyful Guest Energy: Their friends and family brought huge support from start to finish. Their energy lifted the ceremony and carried the couple through the celebration.
- Golden Tweed Coast Sunset: The estate delivered dreamy light for portraits and toasts. The sunset closed the afternoon with classic Tweed Coast magic.

They said: ” Hi Ben, we just wanted to say THANK YOU for our wonderful ceremony! It was picture perfect with that stunning sunset in the background and we were so, so lucky with the gorgeous weather on the day.
The whole day was just awesome. We had some really lovely feedback from a bunch of our guests about the ceremony and the way that you put it together, so thanks heaps for being so great to work with and for all the little custom touches that made it feel so unique to us. How well behave little Arthur was!! Unheard of him to sit that still for so long… Thanks again! ”
Guiding As A Fins Plantation House Wedding Celebrant
As their Fins Plantation House wedding celebrant, I shaped the ceremony flow, anchored the emotion, and helped their vows land with intention. The day blended their story, their family, and their future into a ceremony that felt true to who they are.
Closing Reflection
A Fins Plantation House wedding delivers breathtaking scenery, exceptional service, and moments that feel bigger than the day itself. Laura and Evan embraced every part of what makes this venue special, and their celebration showed how beautifully love, family, and landscape can come together. If you’re dreaming of an elegant, relaxed Tweed Coast wedding, Fins Plantation House is the perfect backdrop — and I would be honoured to guide your ceremony and hold space for your story.
