We had our intimate micro wedding in Byron Bay through Hitched In Paradise, and we can’t thank them enough! We had the most perfect day, all made possible through this amazing husband and wife Team! From my first communication with Tarnie, I knew that I was in great hands. She made the whole process simple and easy, and the vendors we were given to choose from were incredible – photographer, stylist, flowers, hair and make up; it was all perfect. Ben brought such a fun vibe to the wedding as our celebrant and made us feel so relaxed.
We highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!

WOW! What an experience that we couldn’t change for the word. We couldn’t have done it without those from Hitched in Paradise. Throughout the planning process they were great with communication and keeping us up to date. The best team you could have planning an elopement wedding. Benjamin our celebrant was super cool, funny and made us feel at ease on the day, along with his lovely wife Tarnie. The floral arrangements blew my mind by Lolas Wildflowers. We had the most amazing photographer and videographer!! The whole day was like a fairy tale, so intimate and special. Thank you all so much, we will never forget this special day!! WHAT A TEAM!

Tarnie & Ben – what a DREAM TEAM! You both created an absolutely perfect day us, our friends + family. There wasn’t one guest who didn’t rave about Ben (or want to marry him!) Our wedding felt like a dream, it was just magic. The ceremony was intimate, personal, romantic and oozing with love. Every detail had been meticulously taken care of, and it showed.
You were both so easy to communicate with and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Forever grateful, Fleur + Janine x

Alex and I would like to thank you both for the best wedding day ever! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to become husband and wife. Your attention to detail and passion for celebrating love really shows and we couldn’t have done it without you. Both yourself and Ben had such a welcoming and calming presence, we absolutely loved every minute of our day at the beautiful Long Tan Park and so did our guests.
We can’t thank you enough for your hard work in creating such an absolutely stunning and seamless wedding day. We are truly grateful we found your service on Instagram and will not hesitate to recommend Hitched In Paradise to others in the future!

I don’t even know where to begin in thanking Hitched in Paradise. From our first point of contact until the day itself was an absolute breeze. Everything was so easy and stress free to organise, and we had the most amazing elopement with our two daughters.
The day itself we were so nervous but Tarnie’s presence and Ben’s humour kept us calm & our nerves to a minimum.
Thank you so much for all your help in making our day a relaxed & memorable one. And for showing our girls the playground so we could have some photos with Chantal.

Tarnie was fantastic to work with – she provided all the information you require, she gave her input and most importantly she responded to emails promptly (very important for an OCD bride like me).
It was such a seamless and stress free process from start to end! Ben was a lovely celebrant and has a good sense of humour. Even our family and friends watching over Zoom loved him!
Thank you both for making our special day extra special. We’ll be forever grateful.

Ben made our ceremony so much fun and has a great way with words! The cost was also a driving factor in picking Hitched in Paradise was very good value for money and all the vendors they suggest and work with were very professional and easy to work with.

We contacted Hitched In Paradise only a couple of months before our elopement and they nailed it.
There was no stress at all, they handled everything in the most laid back way. Tarnie was fantastic at organising everything and Ben was the best celebrant ever! Totally smashed our brief for our casual Nick Cave elopement.

I cannot recommend HIP enough! If you are considering an elopement or micro wedding in the Byron are, you should absolutely book with Tarnie and Ben. They work tirelessly to ensure everything is peachie perfect. Tarnie was super organised and an absolute ninja on the email; she has solutions of everything which was a massive blessing since we are not from the area and didn’t have any idea where to start with our wedding. Ben is super energetic and fun, and was always thinking on his feet to add magical touches to our beautiful beach ceremony. The vendors they work with are equally amazing. We barely had to do anything but show up on the day!
Please support this incredible family business, they are absolute super stars!

I honestly can’t recommend HIP enough! Our elopement was perfect and more than anything we could have asked for. Tarnie was an absolute gem and her communication throughout the process made it so easy. Her hubby Ben is the nicest man you could meet and his personality brought such a warm sense to the ceremony. The HIP vendors are also next Level!! Genuinely lovely, warm, talented people.
If you’re planning an elopement (or anything to with marriage actually) you’d be crazy not to consider, better yet, use HIP! Xx
