elopEments

❝ oh yes we did!! ❞

Please do remember that all documents (Notice of Intended Marriage) must be lodged no later than 31 days prior to your wedding date so if you are planning on eloping, please keep this in mind.

More common than you might expect, eloping is an exciting and romantic way to avoid the stresses and expense of a large wedding. Some couples find it difficult to scale down a guest list or simply are not comfortable with an audience, or declaring love for each other in front of a crowd.

Some couples prefer to pledge their heartfelt love and feelings between themselves, the celebrant and two witnesses (if you decide to hire a professional photographer, you already have one witness).

Instead, you spend your wedding day doing it your way in a very private manner, most often, just the two of you and a couple of pre-arranged witnesses. Elopements are a private affair where all the legalities are taken care of.

Elopements can be great fun, and there is often a sense of excitement and a feeling of romantic rebellion when couples elope. All elopements are private and confidential and is up to the couple as to when they tell their families.

Of course, not all elopements are secret, as sometimes couples elope with the blessings from their family only to return home to a party celebrated in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Where there is an elopement you can still incorporate traditional elements such as a bouquet, professional photos and the white dress. Whether you choose to include traditional elements or go for the casual relaxed affair, elopements are great fun, even in bare feet.

Port Douglas is one of the most magical and romantic surrounds in tropical Far North Queensland-from island cays, to the iconic Sugar Wharf, luxurious villas, waterfront gardens, the historical St Mary’s Church, intimate rainforest grottoes….the choices are exquisite! I have a valuable little black book of suggestions, suppliers, tips and secrets to help you find the perfect match for the ceremony of your dreams!

Through email and phone calls, your elopement can be discreetly planned and the secret location and witnesses waiting for you for your destination elopement.
