There’s something truly magical about escaping the fuss of a big wedding and sharing your vows in an intimate, meaningful way. As one of Coffs Harbour’s most trusted marriage celebrant, I specialise in creating beautiful, personalised elopement ceremonies for couples who want to keep things simple, yet unforgettable.

The Coffs Coast is the perfect backdrop for your elopement, from the golden beaches and lush rainforests to the rolling hills and ocean views. Whether you dream of a barefoot ceremony by the sea, a secluded rainforest, or a private garden setting, I’ll help you find the perfect location to say “I do.”

Your day should be about what matters most, the two of you. That’s why my elopement packages are designed to take away the stress and keep the focus on your love story. I’ll guide you through all the legal requirements, craft a ceremony that reflects your personalities, and ensure every moment feels effortless and genuine.

If you’re ready to celebrate your love your way, let’s create an intimate elopement experience that’s personal, heartfelt, and completely yours.

  • Thank you for playing such a wonderful important role in our special day and starting our marriage.  We can not repay you enough for joining us in union but we will feel forever blessed that such an amazing, humourous and loving man helped us in our very beginnings.

    Libby & Mark

  • We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and perfect day ever! You did such a fantastic job, everyone commented on how professional you were and how relaxed you made us and the kids feel. Thank you again for being part of our fairytale!

    Melinda and Luke

  • Thank you for everything you did leading up to and during our ceremony.  Your friendly and confident approach made us feel very comfortable and at ease on the big day and you played a big part in that we just wanted to say thank you very much.

  • Jordan and I truely didn’t realise how lucky we had scored until the beginning of our ceremony. Simon had ourselves and our guests in tears from laughter and love. He was personal, deep and truely understood how we wanted our ceremony to feel. Our day started at 28 degrees and finished at 45 degrees, however, no matter how hot it became Simon was professional and knew how to make ourselves and our guests feel at ease. Our guests raved about Simon throughout the night and still to this day, we receive compliments on his behalf. He helped to create an atmosphere that will stay with us forever and we cannot thank Simon enough for this. We highly recommend Simon to be a part of your special day.

    Erin & Jordan

  • We just want to thank you Simon for really helping Lincoln and I along the way.  You really helped in every way possible and made us feel so comfortable.  Our guests are still telling us how good of a celebrant you were, so don’t be surprised if you get some calls!  Couldn’t be happier with the service you provided.  Best celebrant (insert smiley face!).

  • Hi Simon,

    Tim and I are still on cloud nine after reminiscing about the perfect ceremony you created. It was everything we always dreamt of and is something that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

    We can’t thank you enough for all your support and guidance throughout the whole experience, especially your commitment to travel all the way to the Hunter Valley for our wedding. Thank you also for keeping Tim calm whilst he was waiting for me at the alter! I instantly felt more relaxed when I saw you waiting outside the chapel for us.

    The day wouldn’t have been so perfect without you. I’ll send you through some photos of the ceremony when we get them back. If you are ever in Newcastle please don’t be a stranger!

    Tim & Aimee
