eloping in lutruwita Tasmania
intimately celebrating your love in majestic Tasmania
Renowned for its pure, untamed natural beauty, lutruwita Tasmania is the perfect place for eloping, whether it be for just the two of you, or a small intimate group of your loved ones.
The ancient and universal ritual of marriage has been celebrated in many cultures, across many lands, and touched many hearts. As a marriage celebrant, Merren creates each elopement ceremony in Tasmania from a blank canvas rather than using templates.
This is the only way to truly capture each couple’s unique style, desires and love. She will give you oodles of ideas regarding personal vows, readings, rituals and meaningful ways to intimately celebrate your love... resulting in an incredible experience that you will cherish forever.
Your Tasmanian marriage celebrant takes great care with all the legal documentation - providing clear guidance to ensure couples are fully aware of the legal obligations, and if necessary can assist with organising your witnesses.
Allow yourself and your partner to feel well cared for with every meeting… with Merren you will be surrounded with a lightness of love, an abundance of happiness, and complete reassurance that everything will unfold in the most beautiful ways.
Read stories from Merren’s past elopements in Tasmania here. If you’re not from Tasmania and are after ideas for locations, photographers, videographers, florists, stylists etc. Merren happily shares her knowledge and guides you to other heart-centred vendors.
