Want a Melbourne Elopement?
The only thing cooler than Melbourne is eloping in Melbourne! Here are five of my favourite city locations that are sure to please the fussiest of secretive lovers.
This bar is just oozing with old world charm and with it’s big beautiful windows overlooking the hustling Spring Street below, you’ll feel ‘Oh So Melbourne’.

Grab a milkshake and share your vows in Melbourne’s finest American diner, TRUNK. The menu is delicious, there’s cute photo opportunities EVERYWHERE and not only is it central in the CBD, the vibe here is extremely fun (and so are the cocktails.)

If you’re looking for a buzzing Las Vegas style wedding chapel in Melbourne look no further than the Altar Electric. They offer a killer ceremony space with a show stopping Celebrant to match.

St Kilda Pier
If fresh air and sunsets are more your thing, take advantage of Melbourne’s picture-perfect St Kilda Pier and tie the knot with the ocean breeze ruffling your wedding feathers. The views are spectacular and you might catch a glimpse of a penguin too.

And lucky last for a real Melbourne experience, pull up a chair at Heartattack and Vine on Lygon Street and sign your life away whilst sipping an espresso in their warm and friendly bar. It’s authentically European and the awesome staff will make you feel right at home.

Julia Handford was the founder of Julia’s Celebrant Agency, a website dedicated to helping couples find the best Melbourne celebrants for their wedding day. Through her platform, couples could instantly see which celebrants were available and excited to be part of their wedding. Each profile featured transparent fees and inclusions, making the search process easy and free from surprises. Julia also produced more than 20 video interviews, showcasing each celebrant’s personality and style, and making it even simpler for couples to find their perfect match!
