“Melissa and Prue, thank you both so much. The ceremony was beautiful – you really have a lovely way with words, Melissa, and the folks back home were so grateful as they felt very involved – not an easy feat to conduct a wedding to the guests present and also the camera! You made us so relaxed, we never knew getting married could be so much fun!”
– Emily and Charlie, married at Bradley Head Amphitheatre, Feb 2021
We’re not only here to give you the best day ever, we’re also here to help you navigate the world of elopements and micro-weddings – we know it’s a scary place! All your burning questions are answered below, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact us.
YES! We are wild lovers of travel, and will follow you to the ends of the earth if we can! Please contact us for an accurate quote.
We hold your information securely and safely. Your information will never be shared or sold without your permission, in accordance with Australian law and our Privacy Policy.
When you book a Bite Size wedding, there is a non-refundable reservation fee of 40% of the package price. If you choose to postpone your wedding, and we are available on your new date, it may be possible for us to rebook together. If the postponement occurs less than two weeks before your original date, a $350 re-booking fee is applicable.
If we are not available for your new date, or you cancel your wedding altogether, your reservation fee will be forfeited.
Bite Size weddings are a perfect package deal – but if you’re only in need of one or the other, you can find Melissa at www.marriagecelebrantonline.com, and Prue at www.pruevickery.com.au
We accept payments via EFT (bank transfer) or credit card.
We’re adventurous “rain, hail or shine” kinda people, and we know that you are too – we believe that fun, joy, and happiness will shine through ALL weather! We think gumboots are perfect wedding attire, we have a set of clear umbrellas for our weddings to use for free, and we’d love to run wild with you through the wind. That’s why we don’t reschedule our weddings due to weather unless it is torrential, or unsafe for our clients and guests.
If conditions are still safe, but you choose not to go ahead, there will be a $350 postponement fee incurred.
That being said, most of our pre-arranged packages are outdoors, so it’s highly advised that all clients have a wet weather plan of their own. We’re very happy to give you lots of ideas around your chosen location, to make sure your mind is at ease!
Once you have had the best day ever and tied the knot (hooray!), your celebrant will register your marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages within 24 hours. And that’s it – you’re officially married!
You can opt to have her apply for your official wedding certificate for you for an additional fee, too, so that you can relax completely and focus on your wedded bliss.
You’ll receive your beautiful photographic collection within three days, ready to share and download.
And then – happily ever after!
We take elopement and small wedding bookings up to six months in advance. Please contact us if you have a date in mind for further in the future!
By Australian law, you must register your Notice of Intended Marriage at least one calendar month before your wedding can take place (see our Wedding Timeline for more details). So we recommend getting in touch as soon as you’re gathering together your details and considering submitting the Notice.
However, we’re always happy to answer last-minute enquiries, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if your scheduled date is closer!
We absolutely do! You can enquire through the Choose Your Own Adventure package or our contact page to send us your wildest ideas, and we’ll create something just for you.
We will always encourage you to have a weekday wedding, if possible, for several reasons! When you have a weekday wedding, you will find most ceremony locations are less crowded and much more relaxed, so you won’t have to share your moments will the whole world – parking and transport is much easier – venues and restaurants are less likely to be booked – and we here at Bite Size have much greater availability!
Weekday weddings are the absolute best! Relaxing, un-rushed, and personal.
On top of our celebrant and photographer, we can provide you with witnesses, flowers, small cakes and desserts, champagne glasses, and permits if needed and available, all at additional cost. But because you’re a chilled out, low-maintenance bunch, we DON’T provide:
- additional planning services (including but not limited to venue bookings, decorations, styling, transport, etc)
- ceremony rehearsals
- wet weather arrangements
- alcohol
- weather shelters
- chairs
- additional food or beverages
A Bite Size wedding combines the absolute best bits of your dream wedding wedding – great location, beautiful ceremony, amazing photographs, and legally marrying the love of your life – and skips all the rest!
