Reasons to elope
Our couples choose to have elopement style weddings for various reasons including:
- Would love to get married without the fuss or formalities of a big wedding.
- Keen to get married ASAP for their own personal reasons, sometimes with a bigger celebration planned for a later date.
- Love the idea of getting married in a beautiful, outdoor location in QLD.
- Prefer to get married in private without being surrounded by guests.
- Heading overseas and are required to be legally married to meet the partner requirements of their overseas working visa.
- Choosing to get married without a ‘wedding’ opting for a relaxed, fuss-free marriage. Sometimes referred to as a registry or paperwork style marriage.
- On a budget and simply want to be married in a small and intimate legals only marriage.
- Choose to keep their ceremony small and intimate, perhaps choosing to share the reception celebrations only with their guests (sometimes surprising guests at their engagement party/ surprise wedding reception that they’ve just got married).
- Going through Australia’s partner visa, prospective marriage visa or fiancé visa process, and are ready to get married.
- Have a special date in mind e.g. an anniversary. We’ll accommodate as best as possible.
- Australian residents who are planning an overseas wedding and see the many benefits of having the ‘legal marriage’ take place here in Australia. With their marriage being easily recognised in Australia and being able to follow the standard change of last name process in Australia. Not to mention avoiding all the technicalities and hoops they would need to jump through if they were to be legally married overseas.
- When planning an overseas destination wedding, Australian couples usually decide to have their legal marriage in Australia (usually before, and sometimes after the overseas celebration), as this can also save couples a huge amount of time, paperwork, money, overseas bureaucracy, uncertainty and even having to commit to the country’s marriage regulations. Some overseas countries require you to follow their religion in order to be legally married there. Some countries don’t allow non-residents to legally marry.
- Having a religious ceremony, and the need the legal aspects taken care of by an Authorised Celebrant.
- Expecting a baby and would like to marry before the baby arrives and both share the same last name as their child on the child’s birth certificate.
- Couples with anxiety that feel anxious or uncomfortable at the thought of having a ceremony or speaking in front of a large group of friends and family.
- Couples that require their marriage to remain private or secret. We don’t share private or secret elopements on social media if you choose to keep it secret.
- Prefer to be professionally guided through the process including lodging the NOIM with us, assistance with vows and recommended elopement suppliers and locations. Instead of going through the registry office and being shooed off to get your NOIM witnessed elsewhere and no helpful guidance or support.
- Needing to get married quickly or as soon as possible. With us you can usually get married 1 month from now (or within days of the 1-month NOIM notice period). At the Brisbane Registry Office there can be a 5 month wait for the next available date.
