FAQS

What if it’s raining or stormy on our day? Moody days can provide outstanding photos, but if the weather turns horrid, we will provide Plan B options.

What to bring? We want you to arrive with your favourite wedding attire, rings and marriage documents (your celebrant will advice)

When is the best time to book? There are no rules to elope on the Coromandel, so any 2 days of the week works for us! We highly recommend you consider booking off-peak in May - Nov. Our stunning Coro beaches are quieter, allowing for a more intimate experience for your special event.
