Celebrant & elopement venue package

Here at Beneath The Tree Ceremony we can help keep things super simple by offering celebrant services and ceremony venue combined. From a 'legals only' ceremony with just your two witnesses attending, where you are married in under 5 minutes, or an intimate micro ceremony for yourselves and up to ten guests, enjoying an hour in the garden. To make things even easier for you we do have a package available that includes my celebrant services, extra garden time, photography, cake and a few other finishing touches, all arranged for you.

This package means less planning and less stress so that you can really enjoy a lovely day making beautiful memories.

Imagine only having to choose your outfits and decide on a handful of loved ones, with everything else like the location, celebrant, photographer, cake, confetti and decor taken care of. 

Beneath The Tree Ceremony can offer you just that, with our own private garden perfect for an  elopement or micro ceremony with up to 10 guests. 

All of the essentials are taken care of for your mini celebration such as cake stand, plates, tea coffee and water plus lots of little extra bits and pieces to compliment the setting. You are welcome to BYO drinks and we can provide the glasses and ice to keep your beverages cold.

There are some optional extras that can be added to help tailor your day and elevate the experience, such as a personalised ceremony, video, content creation reels or a beautiful fresh bouquet delivered ready for your entrance.

If you want to truly elope and keep your ceremony a complete surprise then witnesses can even be arranged for you with prior notice.

• Are children included in the guest numbers? - Yes, unless they are new born babies in arms/pram
• Can we invite more than 10 guests - Guest numbers are subject to meeting insurance guidelines.
• Are the photographer or videographer counted in our guests numbers?- Professional service providers who have their own public liability are not included in your guest numbers. 
• Can we bring alcohol to the garden? Yes you are welcome to bring your own drinks along with you, just let me know in advance if you need me to supply glasses. 
• Can we record or live stream the ceremony? - You are welcome to do this yourself or I can recommend businesses to do this for you. Please do consider how much time this might take to set up and get going, it's good to practice before hand so you are confident what you need to do.
• If we have Allergies or other dietary needs can these be catered for with the cake? - Yes, the order form for the cake asks about these sort of things
• Can we arrange our own photographer? - You are welcome to arrange your own photographer by not choosing the package on the booking form, selecting the 'Just Us' ceremony instead which is for celebrant services and 1 hour garden time only, or we can tailor a unique package and price to suit your plans.
• If we are keeping our elopement a secret, or only have our children attending who are under 18 years of age are you able to arrange the witnesses for us?   Yes, as long as enough notice is given to ensure we have someone available. This will incur an additional fee of $25 per witness.
• Do we need to pay upfront? - A non refundable booking fee secures your date and covers the NOIM lodgment, with the balance due in either one or two further payments depending on the timeframe between initial booking and ceremony date. 

This package is a collaboration of a small talented team and while it is offered all year round it is subject to the celebrant, photographer/videographer and cake maker all being available for the same date. Enquire early to secure your special day.
