FAQs

What the Process Looks Like

Securing your elopement date with us is simple. To get started, we ask for a $700 booking fee (a part payment of the total fee) along with a completed booking form.

Once that’s sorted, we’ll send you a curated list of local recommendations tailored to your location. This includes options for hair and makeup, venues, and restaurants to help you begin planning your day.

Over the following months, we’ll work closely with you to finalise all the important details – from legal requirements and the ceremony structure to the timeline, florals, and any other logistical support you need.

Our goal is to make the entire process seamless so you can focus on what matters most: celebrating your marriage.

Travel expenses

We will be in Europe and available for your elopement and the price quoted above includes our base travel expense. Many locations will incur zero travel expenses, but some locations may require a travel fee if they are not close to where we’ll be already located.

If there are going to be any additional fees, these will be quoted at time of booking, invoiced, and booked when paid. [think wonderful but very out of the way places like Iceland etc]

The marriage legals

Your marriage celebrant, Josh, is authorised by law to marry people in Australia, Canada and the United States of America.

For Australian couples Josh can and will complete your Australian marriage legals according to Australian law before or after the trip in a “legals only” ceremony over a cafe table.

Our best recommendation is to lawfully marry in Australia if you are Australian residents or citizens as you’ll save thousands of dollars in name change fees and hours of administration.

If you strongly desire to be legally married on the day of your European elopement you will need to enquire with local authority’s civil marriage office as to fees and availability.

Next steps

We’ve been creating epic elopements around the globe for over a decade and this will be our sixth European trip. We’re excited to create something adventurous and awesome for you.
