Elopements and Micro Wedding Packages

Small weddings have become increasingly popular with couples at the Gold Coast Farm House. An intimate celebration of love and commitment is a wonderful way to begin your married life together. With only your closest family and friends in attendance, a micro wedding or elopement is a low key option worth considering.

Not only are smaller weddings cost effective, but they enable a more intimate celebration with those closest to you. You can spend quality time with all of your guests and savour every moment. Intimate weddings also allow you to splurge on top shelf vendors to make your wedding extra memorable and enjoyable.

Before we begin, it’s important to first understand the meaning of these terms. What is the difference between all these intimate weddings? This is particularly important to know when choosing a wedding package at the Gold Coast Farm House.

What is the difference between a Micro Wedding and an Elopement?

In general terms, an elopement is when a couple gets married without family and friends present. The idea of two lovers running away and getting married is both romantic and low stress. Many couples hold their official nuptials on holiday or in private at a registry office. Once the formalities are out of the way, they can choose to celebrate together, or with friends and family at a later date.

The Gold Coast Farm House celebrates elopements a little differently. While you can most definitely keep it to just the two of you, we also invite you to host up to 20 guests for your ceremony only. You’ll have access to the grounds for 2 hours. This allows you to conduct your wedding ceremony, mingle with guests, and take some fabulous photos in the picturesque landscape.

If you are looking for more than just the ceremony, our micro and intimate wedding packages will be more your style. These packages allow to host up to 40 guests on the deck of the house. Our renovated Queenslander home is the perfect place to share your celebration with your nearest and dearest. Lit up with fairy lights, the deck of the house becomes your private oasis in the middle of the Hinterland.

An outdoor soiree is still a possibility with a smaller gathering of guests. You can celebrate under the stars or choose from a single tipi or small marquee. These packages suit any number of guests up to 60.
