Plan The Perfect Sydney Elopement
The above listed elopement packages in Sydney all include a small wedding ceremony for 2 - 20 guests that gets you legally married with all the official paperwork. That is where the similarities end however, with the city offering a huge range of elopement packages that come with a myriad of inclusions.
There is no standard all inclusive elopement package in Sydney, which can make planning your dream elopement a challenge. Typically, a venue, celebrant & photographer are the most common inclusions in Sydney's 'all inclusive' packages. Some of the packages recommended above offer more comprehensive elopement deals with flowers, styling, champagne, cake, catering and hair & make up included. However, you may find you need to book an elopement specialist for any services not included in your package.
Given the intimate nature of an elopement we highly recommend engaging vendors who are small wedding specialists. This can also help keep costs down as specialised elopement packages are often much cheaper than securing the services of a standard wedding vendor. Elopement photographers for example structure their packages with fewer hours of coverage and less hours editing so tend to be significantly more affordable than a standard wedding photographer. Here's a curated list of elopement specialists in Sydney...
