Intimate Ceremonies 
That Feel Exactly Right

Eloping on the Tweed Coast or Byron Bay?

Choosing to elope isn't about having "less" of a wedding. It's about choosing more of what matters.

More connection. More intention. More time to simply enjoy one another.

Whether it's just the two of you or a handful of your favourite people, your elopement deserves every bit as much care, meaning and personality as a larger celebration.

What Does an Elopement CelebrantActually Do?

An elopement may be smaller than a traditional wedding, but it's no less significant.

As your celebrant, I'm here to guide you through every step of the process, from the legal requirementsto creating a ceremony that feels like a genuine reflection of your relationship.

My role isn't simply to officiate your marriage. It's to help create one of the most meaningful moments you'll ever share together.

More Than Just the Paperwork

Yes, I'll make sure all the legal requirements are taken care of, but that's only part of what I do.

Together we'll create a ceremony with warmth, personality and heart. One that reflects your journey, your values and the promises you're making to one another.

Because your elopement shouldn't feel like signing paperwork at an office.

It should feel like the beginning of your marriage.

From First Conversation to Final Vows

We begin with a relaxed conversation where I learn about your plans, your personalities and what drew youto eloping.

From there, I'll guide you through every step, including the legal paperwork, ceremony planning, writing your ceremony and supporting you with your vows if you'd like a little help.

On the day, you can simply arrive, breathe deeply and soak it all in, knowing everything has been thoughtfully taken care of.

The Gold Coast offers an incredible backdrop for couples wanting an intimate wedding.

From coastal headlands to rolling green hinterland, Northern NSW has a magic all its own.

They’re the perfect settings for couples wanting a celebration that feels effortless, intimate and deeply personal, with countless beautiful places to begin your next chapter together.

  • Jill was amazing from start to finish

    110% Recommend. We opted for the Valentine's Day elopement package to keep our day hassle free. The package was affordable and included venue, officiant, paperwork, photography and snacks for all attendees. Jill was amazing from start to finish, answered questions up until the day and even helped facilitate extra surprise guests! Thank you Jill Xx

  • We loved the special touches that she suggested to make the day our own.

    Jill was absolutely wonderful!! We are so, so happy that we chose her as our celebrant. She has such a great presence that was exactly what we wanted for our day; she’s warm, welcoming and conducted our ceremony flawlessly - with great humour mixed in! It was great to meet with her a few times before hand and we loved the special touches that she suggested to make the day our own. If we could do it all over again, we’d pick Jill every time! We can’t recommend her enough.

  • You knew exactly when to make us laugh, and when to hold space for the meaningful, emotional moments. It felt like the perfect balance — so authentically us.

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful celebrant. From our very first conversation, you were warm, caring, and so easy to talk to. You truly listened to us — not just to our story, but to what mattered most to us — and you turned that into something deeply personal, special, and completely magical.

    Your sense of humor brought such a beautiful lightness to the process and to the ceremony itself.

    Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but you made the entire process smooth and easy. You were always approachable, supportive, and ready to cater to every want and need without ever making anything feel like too much trouble. We felt heard, valued, and completely at ease every step of the way.

    On the day itself, you delivered a ceremony that was more than we ever imagined — heartfelt, personal, joyful, and unforgettable. It was beautiful and unique, and that is entirely thanks to you.

    Thank you for creating a ceremony that we will treasure forever. You didn’t just officiate our wedding — you made it truly magical.

  • From the first meeting with Jill to our big day there was no stress, our day was lovely and all that we wanted thanks to Jill.

    As this was our 2nd time around, we didn't want a big family wedding, we just wanted the 2 of us, our bikes and a celebrant.
    I googled celebrants close to me and found Jill at Groovy Kind of Love (the name resonated with the hippy in me).
    Jill was amazing from our first phone call, she totally understood what we wanted and she even provided 2 of her good friends as witnesses. Jill did all the legal side of getting married even provided names of photographers, some sample vows and ring exchange words.
    From the first meeting with Jill to our big day there was no stress, our day was lovely and all that we wanted thanks to Jill.
