Elope with Artaud & Co

An elopement is the perfect way to celebrate your union in the most intimate of settings, and what better place to do it than Tasmania?
We LOVE elopements here at Artaud & Co, and couldn’t be happier that they have gained so much popularity in recent years. Gone are the days of being (wrongly) considered a lesser alternative to a traditional wedding!

Whether it’s just the two of you or a quartet of your closest loved ones, eloping grants you access to venues that would have otherwise been out of reach if you were to invite dozens of people. Think private coastal retreats, historical cottages, rugged mountains and private beaches; our list includes a selection of the best venues across the state - even the ones that don’t advertise.
While we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, an elopement allows us to really focus on the minute details that are otherwise unachievable at a greater scale. What better chance to have a private chef create a delectable dining experience just for you in a corner of the world Instagram could only dream about? How about the possibility of staying on-site at your stunning venue over two-nights instead of only visiting it for a few hours?

Artaud & Co will work with you from start to finish to create a truly bespoke experience. We’ll assist you in selecting your venue and your team of vendors and suppliers, and provide you with the tools to plan and manage your budget throughout. We can also provide our styling expertise to truly elevate your elopement if simplicity is out of the question, and on-the-day coordination for a truly stress-free experience. We can also offer simple pared back elopements (a planning and coordination offering) if the design aspect is not for you.
The venues listed on our website are only a few that we are partnered with (The Point, Piermont, Still, Alto & The Pickers Hut), please get in touch for our full list of special elopement locations that we have on offer.
A budget range that you can expect for your luxury elopement with design included is $15k - $20k + depending on the inclusions and chosen retreat.
