Elope at Glenelg Beach: Council Rules, Permits & How KISS Package Can Help

Glenelg Beach offers a beautiful setting for couples eloping, with relaxed coastal vibes. However, understanding local rules is crucial to ensure a smooth event. Here’s what you need to know:

It’s essential to understand the rules set by the City of Holdfast Bay.

  • No Formal Permit Needed: You won’t need to apply for a permit or pay hire fees, but you can’t guarantee exclusive space. The beach remains open to the public.

  • Event Notification: It’s strongly advised to complete a wedding ceremony notification form to avoid scheduling conflicts with other events.

  • Permitted Setups: You can bring portable items like a wedding arch, trestle tables, and up to 40 chairs. However, large marquees, confetti, or vehicles on the beach are not allowed.

Setup and Equipment for Glenelg Beach Elopements

You can bring several key items to enhance your ceremony, including:

  • Portable trestle tables
  • Battery-powered PA systems
  • A wedding arch
  • Up to 40 chairs
  • A small shade tent (3m x 3m), secured with weights (no ground pegging allowed).

However, certain restrictions apply:

  • Confetti, balloons, glitter, and rice are prohibited.
  • Large marquees or ground-pegged structures are not allowed.
  • Vehicles cannot access the beach or parks.

Photography and Restrictions

You’re welcome to use Glenelg Beach and the surrounding reserves for wedding photography. However, you cannot reserve these areas exclusively. Keep in mind that wedding vehicles are not permitted on the beach or reserves, so plan alternative transportation for photos.

Food Vendors and Entertainment

If you’d like to have a food vendor cater your elopement, they must comply with specific rules: no sales to the public, services must be prepaid, and vendors must park in designated areas. You can also use acoustic instruments and battery-operated PA systems, but note that access to power is not available in public spaces.

Marry Now, Party Later

Marry Now, Party Later

by | Aug 20, 2024 | elopement & micro wedding advice, Elopements, Micro Weddings, Uncategorized, Wedding Advice, wedding blog, Wedding Ceremony

In recent years, the phrase “Marry Now, Party Later” has become a rallying cry for couples eager to tie the knot without delay, yet unwilling to forgo a grand celebration. This trend, driven by both necessity and choice, has redefined the traditional wedding timeline, offering a blend of intimacy and anticipation that resonates with modern couples.

Marry Now, Party later

The Appeal of Marry Now, Party Later

The “Marry Now, Party Later” approach appeals to couples for several reasons:

Flexibility in Timing: Life doesn’t always align with our plans. Whether due to global events, personal circumstances, or simply a desire to be married sooner, many couples choose to exchange vows now and save the larger celebration for a later date.

Intimacy of Elopements and Micro Weddings: For many, the idea of an intimate ceremony is appealing. Fewer guests allow the couple to focus on the significance of the day without the pressures of hosting a large event. The immediate circle of family and friends present makes the moment even more special and personal.

Financial Benefits: Splitting the wedding into two events can ease financial pressures. Couples can have a modest ceremony now and save up for a more extravagant celebration when they’re ready.

Creative Freedom: With the pressure of a traditional timeline removed, couples have the freedom to plan a celebration that truly reflects their personalities. The party can be held at a unique venue, incorporate new trends, or even be a themed event that might not have been possible under traditional wedding constraints.

Planning a Marry Now, Party Later Wedding

If you’re considering this approach, here are some tips to make the process seamless:

Decide on the Ceremony Style: Whether you choose a simple courthouse ceremony, an elopement in a beautiful location, or a small micro wedding with close family and friends, ensure it reflects your style and values. KISS Package offers a variety of options tailored for intimate weddings, providing the perfect solution for couples who want to marry now and celebrate later.

Communicate with Your Guests: Let your loved ones know your plan. Send out announcements for your “Marry Now” event and provide a “Save the Date” for the upcoming party. This way, they can look forward to celebrating with you later.

Capture the Moment: Hire a photographer or videographer to document your intimate ceremony. These memories will be a great addition to the larger celebration later on.

Plan the Party with Intention: When the time comes to plan your celebration, think about what you want it to represent. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a grand affair, ensure it complements the journey you’ve been on as a couple.

The Emotional Impact

One of the most beautiful aspects of the “Marry Now, Party Later” trend is the opportunity for couples to reflect on their journey between the two events. By the time the celebration rolls around, the couple has had time to deepen their bond and share their married life with family and friends. The party becomes not just a celebration of the wedding day, but of the marriage itself.

“Marry Now, Party Later” is more than just a trend—it’s a reflection of the changing times and the evolving nature of love and commitment. It allows couples to focus on what truly matters: their relationship, their journey together, and the love they share. So, if you’re ready to say “I do” but want to save the dance floor for another day, remember that the most important thing is marrying the one you love.

The party can always wait.

For those interested in making the most of this trend, KISS Package offers a range of flexible options tailored to your needs. Explore our elopement & micro wedding packages or find the perfect preferred suppliers to make your “Marry Now, Party Later” experience truly unforgettable.
