Below you will find a list of unique spots to tie the knot in Melbourne’s (uber cool) inner north!
What does it mean to elope in Melbourne?
In general, eloping refers to getting married without a formal ceremony or without inviting any guests, while a ‘legal-only’ marriage involves obtaining a marriage license and signing the necessary legal documents without a formal ceremony. (Tip – to be honest they are the same thing. Best thing to do is chat with your celebrant to discuss exactly what you want!)
To elope in Melbourne, you will need to book in with a celebrant or the Victorian Registry Office in the city. Only 5 people need to be in attendance:
The marrying couple
2 witnesses, over the age of 18, who understand English Your celebrant
Abbotsford celebrant, Kate Morgan
I am an experienced authorised marriage celebrant living in the gorgeous suburb of Abbotsford.
I offer low-cost elopements in Abbotsford, Fitzroy, and Collingwood. My prices are comparable with the Victorian Marriage Register. Contact me here and ask for my "Simple Weddings Package" which outlines the costs. (Note the cheapest time to get married is business hours on week days, but I do offer packages outside these times.) As a celebrant, I help couples elope for all kinds of reasons. In fact, it’s quite a common thing to do. You might be considering a legal-only marriage because of immigration purposes. Perhaps you want to tie the knot after many years together. Or, perhaps you’re planning a big wedding overseas but want to get your marriage certificate issued in Australia before you leave.
