Ceremony Only Elopements and Micro Weddings
A beautiful ceremony, with the planning taken care of
If you want to keep your wedding simple and meaningful, our ceremony-only experiences bring the essential pieces together for you. Choose from an intimate beach, hinterland or chapel setting, and we’ll organise your ceremony team, and wedding day coordination.
These experiences are for couples who want to celebrate the ceremony without a reception included in their package. You can keep the day just for the two of you or invite your closest people, depending on the setting you choose. Simple. Perfect for time poor couples or those planning from overseas or out of town.
Want a little more time to celebrate? Add a grazing board and some champagne after your ceremony, so you can relax and enjoy the moment with your guests before heading off.
What’s included?
Every ceremony-only experience brings together your wedding planner and ceremony coordinator, a celebrant, and a photographer. The location, guest capacity, photography coverage vary between experiences.
Our curated wedding experiences are available Monday to Thursday, with some venues offering weekends.

What can we say about Elope to Sunshine Coast? Sheryl is phenomenal in every aspect!! She made our wedding a dream come true! She organised everything we needed from hair and makeup, flowers, photography/videography and the celebrant. Every single person on her team was a blessing and the kindest most caring people you could ever meet! We were originally to be married in March 2020 when the pandemic happened and Sheryl stayed in constant contact with us throughout the years being supportive, sweet and kind hearted to our situation. Sheryl made everything a breeze, stress and hassle free!! She and her team went over and above; and exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We highly recommend Sheryl and her company to anyone looking to book an elopement as she is without a doubt the best in this business! Thank you for making our day so special!!
