an amazing MARGARET RIVER elopement!

Choosing to Elope can be a huge and very brave decision, and my pals and I are here for you. As a local wedding professional it is my absolute pleasure to sing the virtues of my home town and area to anyone who will listen - and I'd be delighted to help you out with some of my inside knowledge. I’d love to help with introductions, directions and connections.

GOOD things - small packages

What can be arranged?

Elopements usually mean small and intimate:

• We can help you choose a super cute spot with our local knowledge and 'secret spot' spots.

• Provide you with a Legal Australian Civil Marriage Ceremony

• Call in our crew - blooms, hair and makeup, snacks, brunch, a private table somewhere or a helicopter ride into the wild blue... if you have an idea, we have the connections.

• A magnificent and talented photographer to capture your smiles and some of your adventures on the happiest of days.

What is legally required?

When you sign up for an elopement, it’s a legally binding marriage.

So: you need to book in at least four weeks (a minimum of 31 days) ahead - Australian law dictates a ‘one calendar month’ notice period.

That involves completing an NOIM (notice of intent to marry), having it witnessed by the appropriate person (I am more than happy to sign via FaceTime or meet up, drink coffee, chat about you and do this), and then submit it to me.

You need to produce:

• Current Photo ID
• Birth Certificates and/or Passports
• Evidence of dissolution of any previous marriages.

Who can come along?

An elopement is an intimate affair. Legally you need two witnesses, over the age of 18 with you. You can ask someone special to join you or I can organise witnesses to come along.

How much does it cost?

An elopement ceremony with Donna begins at $1200.
