Renowned for its world famous surf breaks and pristine white beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, the Gold Coast is a beach lovers paradise. Away from the tourist highlights and the glittering mecca that is Surfers Paradise, there are are some truly gem locations to hold your intimate Elopement Ceremony. We have some gorgeous & intimate pockets of paradise to create your dream elopement experience. We offer Elopements on the beach, some park lands and also out to the hinterland, where you can get hitched near a gorgeous rock pool in the rain forest! Come for the weekend or stay for a week in paradise. Check out some of our Real Elopements for some inspiration & Contact Us for our list of Special HIP Locations page.
With the Gold Coast International and Domestic airport in close proximity, coupled with enough accommodation options to twist your brain into a knot, it's easy to see why so many couples choose this region for their elopement. It's the prime destination wedding capital of Australia and most of our clients are return visitors to this awesome area. Our favourite areas to stay and play are Burleigh Heads, Currumbin and Coolangatta!! These are where the locals hang and are now a Foodies paradise!! The Gold Coast enjoys a sub-tropical climate; all year round the temperature is perfect, only getting a little troppo in the December/ January periods. Spend your honeymoon taking romantic walks along the beach or soaking in the crystal clear ocean water. You may also have a favourite location that floats your love boat, just let us know and we will organise the relevant permits for you. These locations are close enough to all the action but offer that Locals vibe, that will make your stay that much more relaxed!!
