Elopement packages and pricing
An elopement doesn't need a venue hire, a florist or a caterer. It needs a celebrant, two witnesses and the paperwork done properly. That's what every package includes. Choose by how much time you'd like and how many people you're bringing.
Every package includes the celebrant, our ceremony space, the legal paperwork and silk bouquets from our flower wall. The $150 booking fee is included. No administration fee, no NOIM fee, no extra celebrant fee.
Eloping without guests? We can provide professional witnesses for $50 each on weekdays and $75 on weekends.
Which package is right for you
Just the two of you
The 15-minute Elopement package. Two witnesses, the legal wording, a few photos, and you're married. Most couples who elope choose this one.
A few of the people closest to you
The 30-minute Micro wedding package gives you room for your own vows and some relaxed photos with up to 16 guests.
A small wedding, done properly
The 60-minute Intimate wedding package, for up to 32 guests, includes your story, your vows and your choice of music. It feels like a wedding, just a shorter one.
Our ceremony space
The Ivory Room is inside St Kilda Road Towers, opposite Albert Park Lake. It's calm, modern and full of natural light, with views across the lake to Port Phillip Bay. It's designed for small ceremonies, so it feels intimate with two people in it and still comfortable with 32.
Silk bouquets from our flower wall are there for you to use in your photos, at no cost. There are plenty of photo spots around the building afterwards. Have a look at the Ivory Room gallery, or book a time to come and see it.
How to elope in Melbourne
- Choose your date. We're open seven days a week, with ceremonies as late as 6pm. Short notice is often fine.
- Complete the Notice of Intended Marriage. We send you the form, you fill it in online, and we witness it in a short video appointment. It must be lodged at least one month before the ceremony.
- Decide where. Our chapel, or a location of your own.
- On the day, bring photo ID and your two witnesses, or let us know you'd like us to provide them.
- Enjoy it. We handle the paperwork afterwards and register your marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria.

Witnesses
You need two witnesses over 18 at every wedding in Australia. If you're eloping without anyone else there, our professional witnesses are $50 each on weekdays and $75 on weekends. They sign the paperwork, stay out of the way if that's what you want, or share the moment if you'd prefer. Read more about witnesses.
Make it yours
Wear what you like. We've married couples in wedding dresses and suits, in jeans, and in what they'd wear to a nice dinner. If you'd like to write your own vows, the Micro and Intimate packages give you the time for it. If you'd like music and your story told, choose the Intimate wedding package.
We embrace love in all forms. Mr and Mrs, Mr and Mr, Mrs and Mrs, them or they, or any combination that describes the two of you.
