Absolutely. The Elopement House was created for couples wanting something beautiful, meaningful, and intimate without the stress, attention, or overwhelming feeling that can come with a traditional wedding.

Our spaces are designed to feel calm, private, and relaxed, allowing you to focus on each other rather than managing timelines, guests, or large crowds. We can help guide and coordinate the details for you, recommend trusted suppliers, and create a seamless experience where everything happens in one location — so you can simply arrive, breathe, and enjoy the moment together.

The Elopement House is a private garden property in Templestowe designed for intimate elopements, offering beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, onsite getting ready options, and stunning photography locations all in one place.

Our spaces are designed for intimate celebrations and are best suited to couples with a small number of guests (up to 10 in attendance).

Venue hire includes private use of the property including your selected ceremony space and signing table. Access to the gardens for photos after your ceremony is an add-on.

As we offer several different ceremony spaces throughout the property, wet weather arrangements can vary depending on the location selected. Some spaces already include covered or indoor backup options, while others may require additional preparation, setup time, or styling adjustments to transition indoors. We’ll always discuss the best weather backup plan with you during the booking process so your day still feels beautiful, relaxed, and seamless regardless of the forecast.

Limited onsite parking is available for couples and guests. Additional details will be provided prior to your booking.

Yes. Acoustic musicians and portable speaker setups work beautifully within the spaces. We also include a small portable speaker for your ceremony, and we’re more than happy to play your selected songs for key moments such as walking down the aisle, signing, and your exit together.

The Elopement House was created by a husband and wife team with a love for beautiful gardens, hosting meaningful celebrations, and over 30 years of experience in the wedding industry.

Unlike a traditional venue, The Elopement House has been created to feel warm, personal, calm, and intimate — more like being welcomed into a beautiful private estate than attending a large commercial venue.
