Melbourne has more extraordinary elopement locations per square kilometre than almost any other city in Australia — and most of them are free to use. This is the complete guide to eloping in Melbourne in 2026.

Everything you need in one place. Ceremonies from $400. Available now. 7 days a week.
Perth has Kings Park, Cottesloe Beach, the Nedlands Jetty, and the South Perth foreshore. The Perth Marriage Office has a small government room from $700. The choice should be obvious. I Do Drive Thru comes to any Perth location from $400 — outdoor ceremonies, any day of the week, witnesses supplied. Here are the best places to get married in Perth and exactly what it costs.
Most elopement guides focus entirely on the before. Almost nobody talks about what happens after. This guide covers everything — your official BDM marriage certificate, how to change your name, when and how to tell people, and how to celebrate without paying the wedding tax. Spoiler: a backyard party for fifty people costs a fraction of a wedding reception for the same number. Elope first. Celebrate later. On your terms.
Tasmania is one of the most breathtaking places on earth to get married. Ancient wilderness, dramatic coastlines, and extraordinary light. This guide covers everything — the best locations from Wineglass Bay to Cradle Mountain, the legal requirements, what it actually costs, and how to find the right celebrant. A complete, legal, photographed elopement in Tasmania from $800.
Bali weddings are not legally valid in Australia. Neither are Maldives resort ceremonies, most Italian villa weddings, or Santorini cliffside ceremonies. The solution most couples do not know about: a simple 2-minute paperwork only ceremony in Australia before you fly. From $400. Certificate on the day. Your overseas celebration then becomes exactly what it was always meant to be — a celebration, with none of the legal stress.
Any tourist visiting Australia can get legally married here — no residency required. The NOIM can be witnessed in your home country before you arrive. We handle all paperwork remotely, supply witnesses if needed, and the ceremony happens at any Australian location from $400. Internationally recognised.
Getting married in Australia doesn't require a venue, a reception, or 150 people watching you cry. The legal requirements are simpler than most people think — and you can be legally married from $400, in 2 minutes, anywhere in the country. Here is everything you need to know.
