Dreaming of a simple, romantic elopement in Tasmania?

Look no further this one’s for you!

Hobart Stroll & Snap Elopement Package

Think marriage ceremony and photo experience rolled into one.

Side note: I’ll take care of all the planning and organising.

On the day, I’ll coordinate everything. Also think..... florals, cake, grazing boxes, and social media content…..and more if you want!

It’s sweet, simple, and full of heart.

  • You’ll share your vows in a quiet, private spot.

  • Then, you’ll stroll through Hobart’s historic streets and waterfront.

  • Your photographer will capture all the magic as it happens. 

This modern elopement experience is as beautiful as any wedding, just more intimate and relaxed.

I help you plan everything. We choose the ceremony location, decide on the route, and celebrate with cheers, hugs, and kisses at the end. It’s the ideal elopement experience for couples seeking fun, flexibility, and authenticity. Plus, it’s one of a kind!

Below, you will discover two unique couples who opted for this elopement style. Their adventures in Hobart were both different and memorable.

Sally and Matt’s Elopement

City Vibes with Waterfront Charm

Sally and Matt wanted something low-key: just the two of them, a few days in Tassie.

In their words:

“We are very easy-going and just want to have a day that’s very us. Tassie is our chosen location, it’s where we had our first holiday together and it’s also where my parents were married.”

These two lovers weren’t set on a location at first, so I suggested a Hobart Stroll & Snap Elopement, and they loved it!

Marty from Love & Thunder joined the love party. We started with a private ceremony at MACq01. Sally and Matt shared personal vows and enjoyed a delicious cake I helped organise. Then, we explored the nearby streets and waterfront.

Marty’s eye for detail and his background in street photography were a perfect match for Sally’s Pinterest board of “city backdrop” inspiration (who knew, when she told me I was like………"omg……seriously - you are gonna LOVE this"!).

We strolled through Constitution Dock. We stopped at some of Hobart’s heritage buildings along the waterfront. Then, we headed to Salamanca and Kelly’s Steps. Looping back through Parliament Square and the gardens near Parliament House.

Check out these fun shots…… The colour! The florals! The cake and The Beetles vibes!!!.....seriously a fabulous day.

What they said afterward it all -

“Good Morning Sue,

Thank you so much for everything yesterday.

We were just saying how seamless the day went and how lovely it was to have everything we dreamed of organised for us.

We had so much fun and loved that we could just have the day to celebrate us but it was so great to have you there not only to officiate things but also to support and coordinate everything.

We can’t wait to see the photos.”

Sally & Matt Houldsworth (loving using my new name!)

We started their day with a loved-up ceremony on the balcony of the Hobart Treasury Building. It’s a stunning spot with tons of regal charm.

We strolled through Franklin Square and Parliament Square, enjoying the sights. We passed the Parliament Gardens and ended our walk with a celebratory cocktail at Mary Mary Bar. Then, we sent them off to dinner for their seafood feast.

The multi-talented Gi from Mozoph Weddings took great photos that showed their laid-back vibe. We even had a fun cheering section when some travellers joined the celebration.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Hey Sue

Thanks again for organising everything, I don’t think things would be this smooth without you!”

“From the very first phone calls and emails, Sue helped us pull off an elopement that was everything we’d hoped for and more. Thank you Sue.”

My Thoughts

What I’ve noticed from these experiences and the magic of eloping in Hobart:

Smiling faces are everywhere. Lush gardens and heritage buildings surround you. If you pause to notice, you’ll see modern architecture blended with history. There are hidden gems around every corner.

It's easy for you "the newlyweds" to relax into yourselves and be in the moment…..no stress, no drama, no expectations! Okay…..maybe I have one expectation……………ENJOY yourselves!!!!
