You asked and we’re excited to say, here it is! Our top 7 Australian destination elopement locations, we thought why not add one epic location for each state in our beautiful country. To be honest this blog could be a top 50, as we are SO spoilt for choice in really next level locations in Australia to elope or have your micro wedding.

Eloping in a destination can be a fun, exciting and adventurous way to get married. Our Australian backdrop offers a myriad of EPIC places to get hitched with a stunning background and as a plus a way to have your honeymoon and elopement all rolled into one.

Important to note that destination elopements aren’t any cheaper than a standard elopement even with just th two of you rather than with guests. In fact, you need to consider there will be some element of travel for the elopement team for these types of locations, and by default your package usually always end up being longer than a standard metropolitan city based package, as there is much more adventure and much more beautiful locations for photos, so a longer package is always advantageous to make the most of this amazing spot you have chosen for your wedding. Check out our list of top Australian destinations to have your elopement below…

Uluru - Northern Territory

Need we say more - it’s iconic, its magical, we talk about this amazing place ALL the time. It’s very hard to describe just how epic this location is until you are standing here and can ‘feel’ it for yourself. Check out the photo below for Jay and Dylan’s epic Uluru elopement package to see how gorgeous this backdrop is.
Note - all of the team have to travel into this remote spot as there is no local elopement team in place, we say, it’s 100% worth investing in the right team that have great relationships here and know how it all works and where you are legally able to be married in the area. Uluru has many considerations for your elopement - touch base to learn more about how amazing your elopement could be here (side note, we have one place left for our July trip)….

Freycinet National Park (or Cradle Mountain) - Tasmania

We could use our list for all 7 destinations just on the amazing diversity that Tassie offers for an elopement but to narrow it down we absolutely love either Freycinet National Park (as pictured below for Toms and Gemma’s day) or Cradle Mountain for epic spots for your Tasmania elopement package. It’s hard to believe how many people don’t know about Tasmania’s unrivalled beauty, which means some areas aren’t over run with a million people, and you can get many photos in stunning places, it makes your elopement feel really private with THOSE epic views, add on a honeymoon adventuring around this large island for your honeymoon and it will be an adventure you will never forget.

Maslin Clifftops - South Australia

Rugged coastline - tick
Raw beauty - tick
Epic back drop for ceremony and photos - tick
Maslin’s in South Australia is an epic spot to say your ido’s for all the reason above and more. About 30 minutes out of central Adelaide, you will need transport to get here but for such a great spot this close to a city centre doesn’t exist in other states. We love Adelaide’s dry climate too, so weather is pretty reliable to plan your day.

Palm Cove - Far North Queensland

Not to be compared to the Whitsundays, Palm Cove offers a gorgeous Far North Queensland option without all the red tape that the Whitsundays locations include for an elopement. Here we have the flexibility of wet weather options by way of a chapel on the beach or you can choose a number of spots along the beach within these gorgeous palm trees to create your elopement. Who needs Fiji or Bali with this within our own country. With a myriad of accommodation and food options right on the beach, Palm Cove offers a wonderful option for your micro wedding as much as an elopement with just the two of you.

Blue Mountains - New South Wales

Only a 1.5 to 2 hour drive inland from Sydney is the Blue mountains with. a huge amount of elopement options within one big beautiful National Park. How adventurous would you like to get? There is options for all fitness and mobility levels here from bush settings, to epic mountainous views like Lincoln’s Rock pictured below for Jess and Josh’s recent micro wedding, or half day ‘hike in’ stunning waterfall elopements. Every spot here is gorgeous and deliciously Australian in it’s look and feel. Touch base here for more in depth chat to go through so many options here what would suit you for your vision for your day.

Broome - Western Australia

Where do we begin, much like Tasmania, Western Australia offers a heap of destination elopement package options from down South (Margaret River), Perth city for every type of backdrop option imaginable right up to the stunning Broome for the place where the red dirt meets the turquoise blue sea and you can get that iconic sunset camel photo for your wall. Perfection.

Grampian’s National Park - Victoria

With a similar vibe as The Blue Mountains but just as diversely beautiful the Grampians offers many different spots to elope with the perfect Australian bush back drop. A level of fitness is required to walk to this and some other similar locations, however once there you will be rewarded with something truly epic for your photo and ceremony location and there is never too many people around to spoil the elopement party.
