Melbourne's Most Stress-Free Elopement Celebrants: The team behind I Do Drive Thru Weddings

Since the infamous Melbourne lockdowns of 2020-2022, the Melbourne elopement scene has gained immense popularity among couples looking for an intimate and stress-free way to tie the knot.

When, for the first time in Australian history, large weddings were banned in Victoria, an awesome foursome of Melbourne marriage celebrants, found a unique angle to help Victorians couples tie the knot. Marriage celebrants, Mel Jacob, Kate Morgan, Zena Lythgo and Klara McMurray are the team behind the concept.

I Do Drive Thru was created to allow couples to exchange marriage vows in the comfort of their own vehicles, whilst their celebrant remained outside the car. This meant everyone was able to follow the social distancing rules of the time. The four Melbourne celebrants and business owners thought it was such a good idea, they rolled out the concept in the USA. News about the drive thru event went viral and the business was featured on USA’s Good Morning America.

Once lockdown ended, the business has gone from strength to strength. Today I Do Drive Thru is known for helping couples get married via their affordable, stress-free ceremony and fast elopement.  

The marriage celebrants responsible for creating the now, international drive thru marriage registry are among Melbourne’s most sought-after marriage celebrants. Here are some of their Google reviews which might explain why!

Briggsy's photos were just stunning. So glad we got paired with them both. I Do were great with communication. The whole process from start to finish was seamless.

“My Husband and I were due to have a big wedding this year but like so many couples that was made pretty impossible with Covid so we made the very last minute decision to still get married but in the simplest way possible! Mel from I do drive thru made the whole experience so easy, stress free and was always available to answer any questions I had. We are so grateful that we still got married and that it was just as special as the big wedding we had planned.
