Darwin, NT

This is one amazing town, unlike any other. For locals the chance to have a simple and easy ceremony, or for elopers to have a Top End adventure. This place is truly special.

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Northern Territory, the Darwin Esplanade offers a serene and picturesque setting for your special day.

Location highlights: The Esplanade is the perfect place for an elopement in Darwin. It offers beautiful views and a quintessentially tropical vibe. Near to the ceremony location you can pop by the sandy shores of Mindil Beach, for photos and to dip your newlywed toes in the water. There are ample pathways, which means no one needs to be on sand or grass for the ceremony. It also offers lots of little look out spots – each all a little different to the next. The space is well maintained, and always looking amazing for your photos. With its panoramic views of the Arafura Sea, lush greenery, and vibrant sunsets, this waterfront destination creates the perfect backdrop for an intimate and memorable wedding ceremony.

Local features: Darwin is loved by locals and travelers alike for its relaxed and welcoming vibe. The most magical place to say “I Do”. Elope in Darwin then take a honeymoon traveling through the spectacular NT. The most incredible way to begin your lifetime of adventures together.

Important things to note: This location has limited availability. Book early to avoid disappointment. We recommend avoiding the King’s Birthday Long weekend at this location, due to a local event.

Accessibility: Level access from parking, suitable for wheelchairs users and people with limited mobility.

Other locations to consider: For a magical sea-side elopement we have lots of other locations Australia-wide.

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.
