Elopements

No pressure. No performance. Just the two of you and a moment that matters.

For couples who want something intimate, meaningful, and beautifully uncomplicated.

There’s something incredibly special about stripping away the noise and focusing on what the day is really about — the two of you, the people you love most, and a moment that actually feels present.

Whether it’s a barefoot beach ceremony, a private hinterland escape, or a relaxed celebration with your closest people, elopements and micro weddings create space for connection, emotion, and the kind of memories that linger long after the day is over.

No pressure.
No big production.
No performing for hundreds of people.

Just a ceremony that feels calm, personal, and genuinely you.

I’ll take care of all the legal paperwork and guide you through the process from start to finish, with access to your own personalised planning portal, vow-writing resources, and unlimited support along the way — whether we’re talking timelines, ceremony ideas, or life in general.

On the day, I’ll arrive early to settle in, greet your guests, and make sure everything feels relaxed and effortless before we begin.

Travel within 70km of Tweed Heads is included, along with a post-wedding checklist to help with all the practical bits afterwards — including the name change process if needed.

And if you’d like music for your ceremony, my BOSE PA system can also be added on.

Small in size.
Big on meaning.
A Just Jess elopement you’ll never forget.

  • ""Just Jess Ceremonies" is not "just" anything! Jess is understanding, articulate, outgoing and I can not recommend her highly enough to any bride researching options for a celebrant. Jess is warm, bubbly and genuine all traits that came through in the ceremony she prepared for us. She took the time to really get to know us as a couple and our relationship history to recreate an amazing story of the journey that led us to our wedding day. We have received many, many compliments on how genuine, personalised and heartfelt the wedding services was from family and friends."

  • "It was amazing working with Jess to create our perfect wedding day - she had every detail and subtlety down to a T! The day itself, the paperwork and working with her felt effortless, and she even learnt some German to perfectly cater for both sides of our families during the ceremony!"

  • "Big thank you to Jess for making our day amazing!! She really worked with us before the big day to make sure what she said really captured the essence of 'us'. She did such a wonderful job of telling our story while also adding in her own lovely little touches! We felt super comfortable with her from the get go, she is very fun and laid back but professional! I also loved the guides she sent us to help us write our vows. Thanks again for everything Jess!"

  • "To say Jess did an amazing job as our wedding celebrant would be an understatement. We could not have asked for a better ceremony on the day. Many guests just assumed we were longtime friends with Jess. She captured mine and Corene's story perfectly and managed to do a whole lot more with planning and helping with vows and all the legalities. I have and will continue to recommend Jess to anyone thinking of tying the knot or just needing someone fun and caring to preside over an event. Well it might only be 'Just Jess' in the title we both felt like we got a whole lot more than a wedding celebrant, we got a friend to make our day more memorable. So thank you Jess for the wonderful day! We are so happy that you helped us start our married life together. "

    — Mark & Corene, SOUTHPORT, QLD

  • "The most positive, supportive and encouraging person to happily and enthusiastically wed us together. We are so grateful that we chose Jess as our Celebrant with her boundless flexibility through adapting to how we wanted our rather spontaneous wedding to be. Such a surreal wedding at such a fair price. Jess is totally reliable and supportive through providing us with templates for our vows to improvise or use as themselves, with the process for steps we must do after the wedding such as changing of names and in offering her assistance during our wedding to cleanse our wedding space with sage. All in all we absolutely with totality recommend Jess to be your awesome blessing of a celebrant."
