Cost of eloping in Tasmania
If you're considering eloping around Hobart and Tasmania, here's a guide
Eloping in Tasmania is an unforgettable experience. It’s wild, intimate, and refreshingly stress-free—but let’s talk about the numbers. On average, you can expect to spend between $5,000 and $15,000 to elope in Tasmania, depending on the vibe you’re going for. Whether it’s a barefoot ceremony by the sea or a luxe mountain-top affair, the key is to focus on what truly matters: the two of you.
If you’ve booked a package with The Elopement Collective, most of your major costs—like your celebrant, photography, and planning—are covered upfront. Their all-inclusive approach means no hidden fees, no surprise expenses, just you and your dream day. Enquire with Britt to get the latest packages from the EC but they start around the $4500 AUD mark.
Once you’ve locked that in, here are a few other costs to consider:
1. Outfits That Make You Shine
You don’t need the standard wedding attire unless that’s your jam. Choose outfits that make you feel confident and radiant. Whether it’s a stunning gown, a sharp suit, or something completely unique, budget anywhere from $500 to $10,000—or more if you’re going designer.
2. Travel & Accommodation
Getting to Tasmania often involves flights, which can range from $300 to $600 return these days. Once there, a rental car is your best friend for exploring ($100–$200/day). Accommodation options vary—from charming Airbnb cottages ($300/night) to luxury lodges like Saffire Freycinet ($700+). Plan on $2,000–$5,000 AUD depending on your style and length of stay.
3. The Celebration After the Vows
Your elopement doesn’t have to end at “I do.” Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a small gathering with loved ones, Tasmania’s culinary scene is incredible. Think fresh oysters, local wines, and farm-to-table feasts. Dinner costs can range from $200 to $1,000, depending on the scale.
4. Wedding Rings
If you’re exchanging rings, choose ones that are timeless and meaningful. Whether it’s simple gold bands or custom designs, budget $1,000–$5,000 (or beyond, depending on your taste).
5. Hair, Makeup & Styling
Professional styling is a must for looking and feeling amazing. Invest in a hair and makeup artist who understands the Tasmanian elements (think wind, sun, and sea). This could cost $300–$1200.
6. Extra Photography or Prints
While The Elopement Collective delivers high-quality digital files, you might want prints or an album down the line. These are optional extras but can be a beautiful way to relive your day.
Keeping It Stress-Free
Tasmania is made for elopements. It’s raw and beautiful, but the logistics can get tricky if you don’t have help. That’s why an all-inclusive package like what The Elopement Collective offers is worth every cent. It lets you focus on the love, not the spreadsheets.
So, whether you’re splurging on a private helicopter to the mountains or keeping it simple with just you, your vows, and a jaw-dropping view, Tasmania is the perfect backdrop for your love story.
