Elopements

Whether you are locals or just love our tiny island, if you are considering eloping in Tasmania I have one word of advice, OK two… DO IT!!

Intimate, personal, and so incredibly special, nothing quite beats bucking tradition and doing it your way. Let me help you find the perfect luxury accommodation or the most magnificent mountain top, the cosiest fireside bar, or the most windswept of deserted beach… Maybe your heart dreams of simplicity; just the two of you, space to breathe and soak it all in, or maybe you imagine being joined by a handful of your favourite people, some good tunes and great vibes. Follow your heart and let’s make it happen.

The full shebang

For the lovers out there who want to live large and celebrate with all their biggest fans!

When you need a fun-filled and memorable ceremony that will keep you and your guests engaged and loving every minute, I’m your gal. Going the extra mile is how I roll, so know that I will put you in touch with Tasmania’s best planners, stylists, musicians, photographers and caterers, and other rockstar vendors that will work together to ensure your day is everything you could possibly have imagined and more. From sorting out the legalities prior to the day, to managing the most reassuring rehearsal with your VIPs, to bringing energy and enthusiasm on they day, consider me your fixer for the whole adventure!
