Hey! Thanks for stopping by…

We’re Kate and Sharne and we co-own this shebang!

Alongside a team of talented legends, we’ve be creating intimate weddings for couples Australia wide for over 7 years now. Supported by an amazing Head office team of Chrissy, Lisa and Amelia as virtual wedding co-ordinators we take so much joy in bringing intimate weddings to life.

We love what we do so much this is what we do full time (no side hustle here), and that make us two very grateful people indeed. With well north of 1500 weddings between the two of us, we have faced every conceivable wedding scenario, from our home town of Victoria and across this amazing country we call home. We feel passionate about supporting local vendors for our micro weddings, our team aren’t fly in fly out (unless you are marrying in Uluru), they all know our locations as experts of the area.

Kate has a history in venues and has been in the industry for almost 20 years now. Kate is a highly reputable celebrant and organisational queen. Odds are, Kate will be your first point of contact when you enquire about your elopement. Kate is the worlds greatest micro manager, she’ll make sure your day goes off without the slightest hitch, and even when something goes a little differently than planned (which ultimately will happen every now and again) she’ll have a plan for that plan as well. Kate is a young, passionate celebrant and mum to two gorgeous energetic kids and is an active member of our wedding industry community.

Sharne is the visual one, our founding photographer running her own successful wedding photography studio for over 10 years now. Sharne is a people person, loves a laugh and also runs the marketing and social media round these parts. Sharne is Mum of a beautiful little man and also is very active in the wedding community, owning and running wedding fairs for couples planning their big day and education events for wedding vendors. She is a passionate mentor and loves seeing people succeed.

Together we love to create truly beautiful bespoke intimate weddings for you, our couples.

We believe strongly that your elopement/micro wedding should be a fun and relaxed event without compromising on the beautiful parts you envision for your own bespoke celebration.

Whether it be dining under the stars with your closest people, just the two of you barefoot on the beach, cliffside, in a forest, climbing a mountain, or within historical award winning gardens, the elope team have got your intimate wedding vision well covered. Kate and Sharne’s little black book of vendors and their industry relationships, provide you a unique exclusive ticket to access venues and places that don’t otherwise provide intimate weddings for couples. Take a browse, check out the blog and say hi, we’d love to hear from you.
