Eloping is a moment shared sacredly between two people. It is intimate, heartfelt, and deeply personal — a space where two souls join as one.
It’s about stepping away from expectation and choosing what feels true. It is a promise spoken in a place that makes you both feel alive — by the sea, under an old oak tree, or somewhere the world feels wide, open, and still.
You’re welcome to invite as many or as few loved ones as you wish to share in this moment. Whether it’s just your two witnesses or a small gathering of guests, the heart of an elopement remains the same: meaningful, soulful, simple, and beautifully intentional.
I am here to help you create an elopement ceremony that feels unforgettable — a moment of love, presence, and pure connection.

Based on the Bellarine Peninsula, and servicing Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Otways, I hold space for couples who value clarity, presence, and meaning.
Eloping isn’t about running away — it’s about running towards what matters most.
If you’re dreaming of an elopement that feels grounded, soulful and deeply personal, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you begin your marriage.

Our First Meeting
We’ll meet online or in person and take our time. I’ll explain the legal requirements for marriage in Australia and guide you through the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). Once lodged, your elopement can legally take place one month later.
Your date — or chosen window — will then be held for you.
Crafting Your Ceremony
Your ceremony will be simple but deeply meaningful. I’ll write something that reflects who you are, how you love, and why this moment matters — leaving space for stillness, emotion and authenticity.
You’re welcome to review and shape it until it feels true to you.
The Day You Elope
Before the ceremony, we’ll complete the final legal declaration. Then I’ll guide you through your ceremony quietly and intentionally — allowing the place, the moment and your words to speak for themselves.
No rush. No performance. Just presence.
Registering Your Marriage
All paperwork is lodged within 48 hours, and I’ll notify you once your marriage has been officially registered.
