So, you’ve opted for an elopement instead of a conventional wedding? It’s no secret that traditional, elaborate weddings can induce more stress than joy. They require months of planning, incur significant expenses, and involve a multitude of logistical challenges.
Have you chosen an elopement over a traditional wedding? If so, you’ve made a wise decision. Traditional weddings can often be more stressful than enjoyable. Not only do they require months of planning and substantial financial investment, but they also involve a myriad of logistical complexities.
Instead of breaking the bank with a lavish wedding, an elopement offers a romantic and stress-free alternative. This choice allows you to redirect those funds towards creating unforgettable memories during your honeymoon.
Western Australia provides the perfect backdrop for an intimate, laid-back wedding. With my help, you can choose from various packages to plan your dream wedding – without any stress!
Legal Requirements for Eloping in WA
Before you go ahead with planning your elopement, there are a number of legal requirements to take care of first. You must submit a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month prior to the ceremony. On top of this, both you and your partner must be over the age of 18.
Two witnesses (also 18 years or older) and a registered celebrant, such as myself, must be present during the ceremony. Finally, you’ll be required to include information about your birth certificates, passports, and evidence of your last previous marriage ending (if applicable).
Don’t worry, though! I’ll assist in getting your ducks in order! I’m a registered celebrant and can help you obtain all of the relevant documents. Where possible, I’ll handle the logistics and paperwork, leaving you to only worry about the fun stuff.
Why Elopement is the Perfect Option
By choosing to elope, you can enjoy a celebration of your love without having to deal with months of stressful planning beforehand.
Let’s face it—there’s a lot to worry about when it comes to wedding planning. From choosing a venue to finding the perfect attire, making a guestlist, and hiring a caterer, the celebration often doesn’t quite live up to the months of planning that go into it.
However, I’ll ensure that your ceremony is intimate, allowing you to connect with your partner, free of any distractions. Whether your dream wedding takes place on the beach, at the park or in your back garden – I have you covered! Western Australia truly provides the perfect backdrop, ensuring that your wedding ticks all of the boxes.

Personalising your Elopement Ceremony
You have the freedom to make your elopement ceremony your own by personalising the details. Whether you are looking for a vibrant ceremony that catches the eye or want to keep it as simple as possible – the possibilities are endless.
More so, you and your significant other can personalise your vows, making the celebration as intimate as possible. Without the pressure of a big audience, it becomes much easier to speak from the heart. After all, it’s only about you and your partner.
By adding small, special touches to your ceremony, you can rest assured that your wedding really will be ‘the happiest day of your life.’ From unique rituals to cultural details and your favourite songs, making these small changes will ensure that the celebration resonates with your relationship.
As your marriage celebrant, I work closely with every couple to provide you with your dream wedding without breaking the bank. From unique, personalised ceremonies to more traditional celebrations, it’s all within reach.
