KELSIE + JAMES, NTH BURLEIGH – Gold Coast
Not even a crazy weather event could stop us from giving Kelsie and James their perfect elopement wedding.
Sometimes things happen that are out of our control. Due to this severe weather event telecommunications were down, and that saw us rocking up to the local McDonalds for telephone service. It just wasn’t shaping up to be great for an outside wedding.
Despite all of these challenges, my team and I did everything to ensure their day could still go ahead. We always encourage a wet weather option for this very reason. So we sprung into action and locked in the wet weather venue and reassured Kelsie and James that everything will be fine. And it was. In front of their immediate family and 3 of their closest friends they became husband and wife. Having both their families together for the first time to witness them saying ‘I do’ was the most special part of all.
And just like a miracle, after the ceremony was finalised, the sun started to shine through the clouds and allowed them to capture the most beautiful memories of their day.
This is what Kelsie and James had to say about their elopement experience with Luxe Elopements “I would 100% recommend eloping. Getting married shouldn’t need to be stressful, expensive and a lot of effort. Eloping takes all of that away and allows you to just enjoy the experience. We chose to elope as it was stress free, simple and ALOT cheaper than a full wedding. Eloping meant we could still have our closest family there without all the stress that comes with a full wedding. At the end of the day, for us, all that mattered was that we would be husband and wife at the end. I cannot thank SJ and her team enough for everything that they did for us and our special day”.

Like so many of our couples Kelly and Nick’s wedding was affected by COVID. With both their families based overseas it became even more difficult to have the large traditional wedding they had been in the middle of planning.
After rescheduling their wedding multiple times, Kelly and Nick decided to elope with our closest circle of friends, having their overseas family and friends join the fun via zoom.
A little love from Kelly and Nick
Despite the fact our families could not be there in person, they all attended virtually, so we felt they were all part of our day! Our elopement was so much more than we imagined our wedding to be! We are both incredibly happy and grateful! Having a smaller wedding enabled us to spend time with the people that are part of our everyday lives!
I have no words to thank SJ and her team! Her business is truly the best solution for the modern busy bride, who doesn’t have time to handle ( or doesn’t want to) every little detail of a wedding! It’s sooo easy and so smooth! I highly recommend it to anyone planning an elopement or any wedding!! All services, vendors are outstanding! I absolutely loved the experience and I’m sooo grateful! Thank you!!

On the 27th October 2021, surrounded by the stunning North Burleigh Beach, Helena and James became husband and wife.
Dressed in non-traditional but oh-so-fabulous matching black wedding dress and suit and featuring moody blooms of deep red, burgundy, dark purple with soft touches of peach, apricot and cream for their bridal floral arrangements.
There were a few reasons why they chose to elope, however the main reason was due to such uncertainty and strict regulations around Covid. As most of their family live abroad and a small intimate ceremony is what they desired, nothing felt more right than to time their elopement at the same time as their 10 year anniversary.
Once they received the beautiful images of their day they announced via social media to their friends and family “We did a thing!!”
Helena and James said that they had the most amazing experience eloping that they have been recommending Luxe Elopements to everyone! They said they were so appreciative and incredibly happy they chose Luxe Elopements.
