OUR PROCESS
a package
JUST FOR YOU
Elope Yarra Valley was established back in 2018. when Kate, a marriage celebrant in the local area for many years had an idea - to approach some prestigious wedding venues in her “backyard” - the Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne CBD and Mornington Peninsula areas. Collaborating with them to bring weddings to these venues during the week, when it was typically a quieter time for them, still leaving room for the larger weddings booked 2 years in advance on weekends.
Elope Yarra Valley was the original business collaborating with some of the most incredible local suppliers (photographers, celebrants and florists) to bring elopements and micro weddings to the forefront of the industry. At the time, the term ‘micro wedding’ was relatively unheard of.
By focusing on mid-week, we were able to bring top notch suppliers together on their typical days off and gain access to some of the most sought after venues in the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula at a fraction of the price without the long lead times of a usual large wedding. We could get people married within weeks of their initial inquiry but were offering a beautiful alternative to the registry office.
from the
YARRA VALLEY
to the NATION
where it all started
When Covid hit in 2020 we already had a well established business so in a time where others in the wedding industry were scrambling to pivot Elope YV had established packages for all the restrictions that were to follow.
Through this time, we managed to support our incredible team of celebrant, photographers, videographers, florist, hair and makeup artists to keep their businesses afloat and continued to plan and host some truly intimate celebrations.
It was at this point in time where Elope Australia quickly established nationally. As a result, Elope Yarra Valley merged into Elope Australia. We were now the only fully established national elopement and micro wedding business operating in every state and territory in Australia and New Zealand.
We won’t ever lose the Elope YV name, it is where we came from, our origins and from humble beginnings we can now say, we are multi award winning elopement and micro wedding planners!
