Brittany Hockley angles for a 'freebie wedding' as she shamelessly approaches brands in the lead-up to her nuptials with footballer Benjamin Siegrist

As someone who has been to multiple weddings and spent a small fortune on gifts, I completely understand the dilemma faced by the bridesmaid. However, having attended destination weddings myself, I can say that the joy of being part of such a special occasion outweighs the cost of the flight. That being said, it’s always nice to receive a small token of appreciation from the bride and groom as a keepsake to remember the day. As for Brittany’s wedding plans, I wish her all the best and hope that her Bali nuptials are everything she dreams them to be! By the way, I heard that Bali is famous for its monkeys, so maybe Brittany could consider a cute little monkey-themed gift for her guests? Just a thought! 😉


It seems that Brittany Hockley is trying to secure a complimentary wedding, as she has reached out to various brands prior to her marriage with Swiss footballer Benjamin Siegrist.

This week, the podcaster’s manager publicly invited brands to team up with the ex-reality TV star, subtly suggesting that the partnership would involve a promotional event.

Brittany Hockley has just revealed her engagement to the goalkeeper of Rapid #1, Benjamin Siegrist, as announced on Social Diary, a private social platform popular in Australia.

We’d love to connect with fitness, beauty, and lifestyle brands that might be a good fit as we approach Britt’s upcoming wedding. Britt boasts an impressive following of 248,000 on Instagram, while Ben has approximately 48,000 followers.

The Daily Mail comprehends that the site, serving as a bridge between Australian brands, influential personalities, and journalists, frequently receives an overwhelming amount of content for their news feature.

In contrast, there are significantly more brands looking for influencers to promote their products than there are talents willing to do so, often receiving goods in return for creating content.

Last two weeks, Brittany, aged 36, journeyed to beautiful Bali not only for planning her upcoming destination wedding but also to generate content that would attract possible future brand partnerships.

She advertised Jetstar (who flew her to Bali), Ayana Resort, and a sunscreen brand across multiple Instagram posts during her recent working holidays.

Enthusiastic wedding organizers flocked to the comments beneath a video the ex-Bachelor star posted, where she humorously mentioned that she had not put much thought into the upcoming wedding which she had earlier revealed would take place before long.

The caption stated: ‘No date, no location, no attire, no meal, no drinks, no photography,’ which left a stunning red-haired individual in need of assistance for various wedding-related aspects.

On Thursday, Alyssa Stevenson, Brittany’s talent manager for ASM, chose not to provide a statement regarding the Jetstar partnership speculation linked to one of her latest Instagram posts, when Daily Mail Australia asked about it.

2023 saw an unprecedented valuation for the worldwide influencer industry, reaching approximately $31.4 billion in U.S. dollars or around 21.1 billion U.S. dollars.

It’s not hidden that prominent Australian influencers earn money by showcasing a lavish lifestyle to their audience, which is usually provided free or sponsored. A more intriguing inquiry could be: Who will cover the costs of Brittany’s luxurious destination wedding that she is promoting?

In contrast to the average wedding cost of $34,715 in 2023, the most recent Easy Weddings report indicates that the usual wedding in Australia now costs approximately $33,810.

3500 surveyed couples in the wedding sector reported that due to the persistent economic living crisis, they’ve made belt-tightening adjustments (referring to garter belts) and chosen smaller ceremonies, backyard weddings that gained popularity during the Covid pandemic, or intimate elopement options.

Bachelor star Brittany announced her engagement to Ben, 32, earlier this year. 

In the Wednesday episode of Ask Uncut, someone posed a question regarding a destination wedding their friend was having in Canada.

As a committed follower, I found myself in a dilemma: Should I, who had already invested significantly in travel arrangements to be part of my dear friend’s wedding, also present her with a gift? I posed this question to Brittany and her co-host Laura Byrne, seeking their wisdom.

The listener inquired, “Is it necessary to give a wedding gift if the person attending has already spent $4500 on travel expenses?

‘On my own in this response,’ Laura stated. ‘However, I believe it’s unnecessary for you to buy a gift if you’re already spending a lot on attending a destination wedding,’ Laura explained.

‘No I don’t think you’re on your own,’ Brittany agreed. ‘F**k no!’

She playfully mentioned, “Given what we’ve discussed earlier, it turns out I’m planning a destination wedding, and if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I’d really appreciate a gift from you.

Brittany stated, “I’m getting married at a specific location, and I prefer the gift of attendance over any presents.” She added, ” frankly, it just seems awkward to ask for gifts!

Here’s a suggestion for paraphrasing your statement:

The reality star offered some more details about the wedding plans to her podcast listeners last month.  

Brittany shared that she’ll be making a short visit to Bali for four days, primarily to inspect a pair of locations. She has a preferred choice, but isn’t certain if it will be accessible during her trip.

Additionally, it seems we’ll be having a food sampling event too, yet the location isn’t our first choice, however, we always enjoy tastings.

Brittany didn’t explicitly reveal the wedding date, yet hinted that her wedding might occur earlier than we anticipate.

She mentioned that there’s just one occasion annually when we can tie the knot, and it’s swiftly approaching. In fact, it’s less than a year from now.

Previously known as ‘the consistently solo emcee’, Brittany, for over eight months, had been in a long-distance relationship with Ben. It was during this time that Ben proposed to her.

In November 2022, the two crossed paths for the first time on the exclusive dating platform Raya, coincidentally when Ben’s football team, Celtic FC, was competing in Australia.
