If you are married, whether it was through us here at Big Love Elopements or not, what’s one piece of advice you would give to a recently engaged couple trying to choose their size/type of celebration?
😊
Some people don’t know if they want zero guests as they simply sign the papers at a pub (hello, we got you 🥰) or they don’t know if they might prefer to have 200 guests at a winery (our team also have all their own wedding businesses).
⚡️⚡️
What’s something you would tell an engaged couple trying to figure it all out?!?

5 years since we launched our wonderful biz. Many more years to come!
Goodness bloody gracious, time has flown!!
Hard to believe that 6.5 years ago we began planning this business together. Jessie and I (Jake) caught up for coffee to figure out a way to offer something new to the market. No one was doing what we were planning to do, and that big ol’ leap into the unknown 18 months later with our first elopement was the beginning of the best thing we ever did.
⚡️⚡️256 elopements so far. ⚡️⚡️
Many many more to come.
Cheers to us 🥂🍻

Appreciation post for our guy 🎶
Bringing live music to our couples is such a special thing, and we just love having our pal on our crew 😍
There’s nothing quite like live music to elevate such important moments in life.
(Major bias here from us - Cal played Jake’s wedding last year!)

Personal vows are such a special part of a ceremony, but only the legal vows are essential to include. The personal vows are a choice!
About half our couples choose to include personal vows.

Do you like the idea of personal vows?

We have some news to share with our beautiful and supportive followers of Big Love Elopements.
We’ve made the tough (yet best decision for our business) to close our doors at Big Love HQ at the end of January 2025. This does not mean our business is closing, oh no sir-ee, we’ve got so much more to come for elopements in Geelong and surrounds so you aint getting rid of us that easily! We just won’t be offering elopements in our own venue anymore.
⚡️⚡️
A huge rent spike meant it just didn’t make sense financially to keep the venue and now we can focus on finding dream locations for our couples with all of our expertise and knowledge of the glorious Wadawurrung and Gadubanud lands we are so fortunate to work on.
We are so darn proud of all that we have achieved in the venue, making it so pretty and inviting for the 35 couples we’ve hitched at Big Love HQ, as well as fun photoshoots and hosting small events. We’ve loved having a co-working space to invite like-minded creatives in, have held over 300 meetings there, gotten to know our arcade neighbours and supported other small businesses down Pako for many lunch dates. AND we still have a bunch more lovers to hitch in HQ before we say our goodbyes. We feel GOOD about this change and can’t wait to share some big new things coming up for Big Love Elopements in 2025 😏😏
SO! If you’ve been eyeing off our venue and want to get hitched at HQ before January 29th 2025, HIT US UP! We’d love to squeeze as much love as possible into our beautiful venue before we go.
Much love,
Jessie, Jake, Zena, Ruby, Cal, Verity, Jemma and Chloe xx

Finish your ceremony, duck inside your Airbnb for a glass of champagne, then go exploring for 20mins to take some epic photos down the road, then back to the Airbnb to eat cake in your pj’s.
Does that sound perfect, or does that sound perfect???

Cruisey ceremony down at Buckley’s Falls. Some photos on the walk back up to the lookout. Then they went off to a delicious lunch. On the ferry to Tassie that night for 2 weeks of road trippin’.
Ain’t that the best?!?!

Ruby and Ethan got married and then had a private dinner for their guests in the gorgeous upstairs space, and it was such a joy to be a part of.

Hello!

We are Jessie and Jake. We both work in the wedding industry, and love it to pieces. We love love, and we love weddings. Given that so many people are asking for a smaller, less-fuss way to get married, we have combined our skills to offer elopement services, as one package.

Jessie does the celebrant thang, and Jake does the photography thang. Together we create simple, beautiful elopements for couples that just want to commit to a life together, without a massive wedding experience.

Big Love. Little Fuss. That’s our motto.
