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.

  • 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!
