What is an elopement?

An elopement is a small, intimate wedding ceremony, usually just the couple, or a handful of close family and friends. Couples across Australia are increasingly choosing to elope as a simpler, more personal way to marry, often followed by a separate celebration with the wider family down the track, at home or even at the favourite restaurant. At Marybank Estate in the Adelaide foothills, South Australia, that means a private garden ceremony on a heritage property, styled and ready, with the details taken care of so you can focus on the moment itself.
