Destination Elopements

For some couples, planning a traditional wedding becomes the very thing that gets in the way of actually getting married. The choices, expectations and costs can snowball until the joy disappears. Jake Smith loves helping couples flip that script — focusing on the heart of the moment rather than the weight of the planning. If you want a simple, meaningful way to get married without the stress, an elopement might be exactly what you need.

Why elope with Jake

Focus on marriage, not pressure

Jake helps couples cut through the overwhelm and return to what matters: the commitment you’re making to each other. He creates straightforward, relaxed elopement plans that give you a great experience with the absolute minimum of fuss.

Go anywhere, anytime

Elopements can happen on a beach at sunrise, overseas with a photographer in tow, or at a quiet local lookout — whatever fits your story best. Jake has travelled for elopements in Australia, Asia and beyond, and is always open to new places and ideas.

Keep it simple… and celebrate later

If you’re worried about disappointing people, Jake has seen this play out many times: you elope, you come home, you throw a party, show your photos, give everyone a big hug — and suddenly everyone’s cheering for you. What felt risky usually ends up being loved.

Tailor-made packages

From cheap and cheerful to premium and fully supported, Jake offers elopement options to suit different budgets, styles and locations. Whether you’re planning something tiny and spontaneous or something beautifully intentional, he’ll help you shape a day that feels right for you.

Eloping is about freedom — the freedom to get married your way, in a place you love, with no unnecessary stress. If that sounds like you, Jake would be honoured to be part of it. Let’s do this.
