YES! You have a few options:
Option 1 – the council allows 2hr wedding permits. We can have a ceremony, champagne toast, group photos, a styled cocktail hour with grazing platters (traditional tables or boho picnic on the ground) and sunset portraits. You can then head back to your accommodation or book a local rest/bar to continue the party!Â
Option 2 – spilt the Micro Wedding package; Beach ceremony and Venue/Airbnb for the reception. There is a $1000 fee to cover travel time and the styling hire and florist setting up in two locations.Â
Our Micro Weddings are timed for either sunrise or sunset! This ensures you get the most beautiful and flattering lighting.
Example: If you choose sunset, we will work the day “backwards” from sunset to chose the best ceremony time. We will consider the location because sometimes you will loose light faster behind mountains/hills.
After you book we will give you a timeline 🙂Â
YES! Send us your numbers and we can quote for extra Hair, Makeup and Bouquet / Button Holes for everyone. We will include a mini bridal party portrait session to your timeline.Â

Can we stay longer?Â
YES! You can stay as long as you have booked the venue for 🙂 We can organise the stying hire (table/chairs) to be collected late or the next day. Â
