Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Australia wide
It’s a big deal to do such a little thing. If you’re thinking about running off and eloping Sassy Celebrants are here to make the process simple, quick and easy – no matter what type of elopement you are planning.
The Shotgun Wedding
You’re having a baby and you want to be legally married before the little ones makes their appearance. You don’t care about what you wear (after all, you’re preggers!) and you’re feeling too tired, bloated, constipated and pregnant to give a rats arse who attends and where it is.
The Legals Only
Short, quick and basically involves a few emails, showing some ID and then turning up on the day with your two witnesses in tow. Normally held at the Celebrant’s home or an agreed spot (married with a latte? I’ll take a cafe, legals only wedding any day) this is no fuss, no mess, no dressing up (unless you want to) and the bare boned marriage ceremony.
The Overseas Elopement
When you want to “get married in Bali” but you don’t want to have to deal with the messy paperwork nightmare of trying to change your name back home in Australia. Sassy Celebrants can help you say “I do” before boarding the plane, so that the process is super simple and easy when you get back (with your tan.)
The “Not Really An Elopement” Elopement
This is the kind of ceremony where you are having all the “wedding stuff” like photographer, guests, chairs the whole she-bang but you’re doing it on the quiet so that those relatives you didn’t want to invite don’t find out. We’ll be discrete we promise! Aunty Jan will never know!
The Mega Elopement
Photographer, videographer, amazing remote location, caterers, makeup hair and all the trimmings including a suit/dress that is totally banging. If you’re idea of an elopement results in magazine worthy instgrammable moments then we can create the ceremony to suit your style.
