Central Coast, NSW

This location is a popular close-to-home elopement destination for many Sydneysiders. It’s hard to imagine a better place for a romantic beach wedding. You have the choice of getting married barefoot by the sea, with the sand between your toes, or on the grass overlooking the beach.

Nestled on the stunning Central Coast of New South Wales, Avoca Beach offers the ideal backdrop for your romantic escape. With its pristine sandy shores, crystal-clear waters, and serene atmosphere, Avoca Beach is a hidden gem for couples seeking an unforgettable elopement experience. Eloping on the Central Coast not only romantic, but it is also super convenient – only a short drive from Sydney or Newcastle.

Location Highlights: There is no better option than this if you are wanting a simple and affordable beach ceremony. You have the choice of getting married on the sand or the grass. Say your vows surrounded by the gentle sound of crashing waves. You won’t be disappointed with this stunning spot.

Local features: This patch of the Central Coast is everything you picture when you think of this part of the world. You will be spoilt for choice with food and beverage options, to raise a glass after you say I Do. Avoca Beach provides a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts to cozy beachfront cottages – you’ll find just the place for you. And being so close to Sydney, you can elope here then return each year for your anniversary.

Important things to note: This location is everyone’s favourite on a beautiful summer day. While street parking is usually available nearby this area can get busy on sunny weekends and during special events. In peak summer, consider the earlier or later parks of the day for more comfortable conditions.

Other locations to consider: Closer to Sydney we have beach locations on the Northern Beaches and in the East.

Just married weddings made our day easy and stress free. Emailed instructions along the way were easy to follow and kept us updated. We were assigned Lisa Newman as our celebrant and she was amazing. She made the day fun and stress free. A brilliant alternative to more traditional/registry processes. And the Queen Victoria Gardens location was beautiful with a variety of backgrounds for photos.

It was a quick but a very lovely ceremony. Hassle free for us and just right for our budget. Our celebrant Jonelle is so comfortable to be with. The Just Married admin as well is so prompt and provided us with everything we need. They even remind us with the things we need to submit. Thank You so much Just MArried Weddings. You made our wedding just the way we want it. Thank You

Incredible location for small ceremonies. My husband and I had an amazing time at our Sydney Harbour elopement with a small group of family. Jonelle was excellent and our ceremony ran smoothly. I highly recommend if you are wanting a smaller wedding.

We were married on South Perth foreshore, a really beautiful intimate ceremony. Our celebrant Brooke was really lovely and accommodating to our style of wedding. Overall the booking, paperwork and ceremony process was easy and no stress. I'm so glad we opted for South Perth foreshore vs Perth registry office.

I booked with them then cancelled because of lack of pretty and accessible location options and lost $100. Your admin and customer service was ok but very dissapointed with your locations as they are very limited and underwhelming. The photos you have on social media aren't of the exact ceremony location because you use photos from other areas that have been photographed that are away from the ceremony location. Why is one location (Hunter Valley) literally a rest area for drivers and truckers? Surely there are better options. A rest area is hardly a desirable location. Also when I browsed a beach location it looked very secluded on your social media but its not at all.
