The Ceremony:

The afternoon commenced as Peta, Lee, our KISS celebrant Deb, and two witnesses ventured through the forest to a scenic spot. The two witnesses were our photographer Glenn and his dad, Paul, as the second witness.

The ceremony itself was simple yet deeply heartfelt. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Kuitpo Forest, Peta and Lee exchanged vows, promising eternal love and devotion to each other. It felt as if the forest itself bore witness to their union, echoing their commitment with rustling leaves and the songs of the birds.

Celebrating with a Toast:

Following the formalities, it was time for celebration. Lee uncorked a bottle of champagne, and everyone raised their glasses in a toast to the couple’s future together.

Peta and Lee’s elopement at CABN Tiny House Bed & Breakfast within Kuitpo Forest showcased the power of love and the enchantment of nature. Their special day was a testament to the idea that love is the key ingredient in any celebration, and when you have that, everything falls beautifully into place.

1) Marion Hotel & Totoka Urban Farm Adventure

Eloping Tips and Advice

Eloping: A Unique Journey

Wedding planning can be a whirlwind adventure for couples, but let’s not forget the joy and excitement that comes with eloping! Choosing to elope offers a chance to break free from the traditional mold and create an intimate celebration that truly reflects your unique love story.

Navigating Expectations

However, just like any journey, there may be a few bumps along the way, especially when it comes to garnering support from loved ones. Here’s the thing: eloping may not always elicit the same level of enthusiasm and cheer from family and friends as a big, traditional wedding would. But fear not! Remember that every person has their own expectations and beliefs when it comes to weddings. The most important thing is to stay focused on what truly matters—the incredible love and connection you share with your partner.

Finding Support

If you encounter any disappointments or a lack of support, don’t fret! This is the perfect opportunity to join forces with your partner and face the world together. Seek out a supportive friend or family member who understands and celebrates your decision to elope. And hey, if you ever feel like a chat with a professional therapist would help, go ahead and give it a try. They can offer valuable guidance and ensure you navigate this adventure with a smile on your face!

Celebrating Your Love

Now, let’s talk about celebrations! Guess what? Even if you’ve decided to elope, there might be some folks out there who still want to raise a glass and celebrate your love. How cool is that? Consider throwing a small gathering or an intimate dinner party to honor your commitment alongside those who truly get you. Remember, this is your day to shine, and you have the freedom to surround yourself with people who wholeheartedly support your choices. Leave out anyone who might not fully embrace your elopement dreams—they’ll surely catch on to your vibrant happiness later!

Your Special Day

Some people may feel disappointed that they are not invited. You can acknowledge that without changing the wedding you want. Agree together on what you would like to share and whether you want to celebrate with others later.

Embrace the Magic

An elopement gives you room to keep the day small. Choose the people, setting and traditions that matter to you, and leave out the parts you do not want.

Blow Hole Beach Elopements

Blowhole Beach is in Deep Creek National Park, South Australia. It offers a coastal setting for a small ceremony, subject to park access, conditions and permission.

At Blow Hole Beach, you can tie the knot with the ocean as your backdrop and the sound of waves crashing against the shore as your music. And with the KISS PACKAGE, you can make your elopement dreams a reality without breaking the bank.

The KISS PACKAGE brings together a celebrant and professional photographer. Your celebrant helps you prepare a personal ceremony, and your photographer documents the day. Confirm the current inclusions and location arrangements in your quote.

One of the best things about Blow Hole Beach is that it is only accessible via 4WD. It is a public beach; exclusive access and privacy are not guaranteed. The KISS PACKAGE also includes 4WD access to the 2nd carpark, making it easy to get to the beach and set up for your ceremony.

Allow time for the ceremony and photos, and plan around the beach conditions. Check current park alerts and access before travelling, and agree on an alternative if the location cannot be used.

Interested in an elopement at Blowhole Beach? Tell us your date and guest numbers so we can discuss the location, current access and the services you need.
