Elope to Tassie

A guide to eloping in Tasmania: where to hold a ceremony for two, which celebrants travel, what the paperwork needs, and where to stay afterwards.

Josh Withers smiling between a newly married couple holding hands at a coastal ceremony. Two testimonials say the ceremony felt comfortable, calm, happy and lovely, and that Josh helped make a stressful ceremony feel calm.

Places to Stay

Boat Reflections

Riverside accommodation at Franklin, on the Huon. Black swans on the water, cider and cool-climate wine within a short drive, and little enough light pollution to see the aurora when it is out.

A black and white portrait of a couple on their wedding day, her head resting on his shoulder. Kinda chic to only invite the person you are actually marrying.

Photographers

Brides Day

Tasmanian wedding films, made out of Huonville. The day as it actually went, cut to something you will watch more than once.

Advertise in Elope to Tassie

A directory entry runs for thirty days from $19 including GST, goes live once it is approved, and stays on the site afterwards at a decaying position rather than vanishing. You set the amount and you can change it whenever you like.

A couple embracing on a clifftop at golden hour above a forested valley. Kinda chic to say your vows with mountain views instead of a reception schedule.
Advertisement for Wedding Computer: what if all of the wedding vendors, the planner, the venue and the couple were all reading from the same sheet?
