South Coast (Berrara), NSW

Take a short drive from Sydney or Canberra and get married in this slice of coastal heaven.

Far from your normal life, but convenient enough for a quick get away, you can return here to celebrate anniversaries for years to come.

Elopements on the South Coast of NSW are absolute perfection. Especially for couples from Sydney or Canberra who want to elope to a coastal location they can re-visit for holidays for years to come.

Location Highlights: This is a very pretty place to tie the knot. We’ve chosen a little reserve adjacent to the quaint and peaceful lagoon, and just a few steps from the Ocean. The dunes and sandbars, native negotiation and romantic boardwalks will give you plenty opportunities to sneak off on your own for a quiet moment after your ceremony to enjoy the view. You might even want to let your photographer join you.

Local features: Quiet enough to be intimate and romantic, but close enough to Vincentia, Sussex Inlet and Huskisson, this location is chosen to give couples a variety of options for the events surrounding your I Do’s. Perfect for nature lovers, surfers, foodies and those who call the South Coast home, there’s nobody who won’t love getting hitched on the South Coast.

Important things to note: This ceremony will be performed on a beautiful shady, grassy area. The beach is very close by, and perfect for your photos afterwards.

Other places you might consider: Couples looking for beach elopement locations might also be interested in our Byron Bay elopement package, or one of the amazing beach locations we love in Sydney or Melbourne.

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.
