Where We Will Marry You
From the Geelong waterfront to the Twelve Apostles — every location along the way.
Corio Bay, the heritage precinct, the Botanical Gardens. Ceremony done in minutes, lunch at a waterfront restaurant straight after. One of our most relaxed elopement formats.
The start of the Great Ocean Road. Dramatic beaches, clifftop lookouts, and the most relaxed coastal energy in Victoria. Barefoot at sunrise is extraordinary here.
Clifftop lookouts over the Southern Ocean, heathland kangaroos at dawn, and one of the least crowded ceremony spots on the Surf Coast.
The white lighthouse at Split Point — dramatic clifftop views, wild Southern Ocean below. A ceremony backdrop that needs no styling whatsoever.
Erskine River gorge with the ocean beyond — one of the great lookout views in Victoria. Ceremony at the lookout, lunch at a foreshore restaurant. The quintessential Great Ocean Road day.
Sheer cliff, wild ocean, green hills rolling back from the coast. One of the most dramatic roadside viewpoints in Australia. Apollo Bay town has excellent restaurants and accommodation.
Dawn before the tourist buses. Limestone stacks, Southern Ocean light, a ceremony that genuinely could not happen anywhere else on earth. Travel fees apply — always quoted upfront.
Triplet Falls cascades in three tiers through ancient myrtle beech. Hopetoun drops 30 metres into a fern-lined pool. Both accessible via short forest walks. Both spectacular.
Tree ferns over 15 metres tall, 300-year-old myrtle beech, glowworms at night. The deep Otways at their most extraordinary. A ceremony here feels like another world entirely.
Hidden in the national park, Beauchamp Falls tumbles through ancient forest. Stevensons Falls is one of the Otways' most photogenic. Both are extraordinary waterfall ceremony locations.
Torquay, Jan Juc, Lorne beach, Anglesea, Barwon Heads — barefoot, sand, Southern Ocean. Arrive at sunrise and you will have the beach entirely to yourselves.
The Barwon River through Geelong, the Erskine River at Lorne, the Kennett River — quiet, green, and completely beautiful. A river ceremony has a stillness that beaches and clifftops do not.
The Otway National Park contains some of the most extraordinary temperate rainforest in Australia. Ancient trees, fern gullies, filtered light. A forest ceremony is unlike anything else.

The average Australian wedding costs $36,000. A Geelong elopement with us starts at $400.

What Our Couples Say
Real reviews from real couples — unedited.
The whole process was so easy, stress-free, and affordable from start to finish. They made everything feel relaxed, organised, and genuinely special without any unnecessary pressure or fuss. Perfect if you're wanting a simple, cost-effective wedding without sacrificing the magic of the moment. Thank you I DO DRIVE THRU 🖤
Simple, and no stress. The booking process was easy, the step by step guide made it such a breeze. Our celebrant Lauren WAS A DREAM. She felt like family the moment we met and was the perfect addition to our ceremony xx
We had a quick almost statutory minimum turnaround but it was made so easy. Our celebrant Klara was brilliant — she took care of everything but also made us laugh the whole time. They also supply witnesses if needed. The photographer was also fantastic. Thank you guys 😊
I Do Drive Thru made it so easy to organise our perfect elopement. We are extremely happy with the celebrant and photographer we were paired with and we have absolutely zero regrets!
