Highly recommend SJ & Luxe Elopements.
We originally planned the ābigā wedding back in 2020 but Covid had other plans.... Our micro wedding with Luxe turned out so much better than we could have imagined, and thatās even in the middle of another weather event. The day before our wedding SJ tirelessly spent her entire day trying to find a backup venue due to the weather. It was stressful but we felt supported the whole time. The day itself went seamlessly and we now have friends saying they wish they had done their weddings the same way.
We loved all our vendors: Sue was incredible, laidback and has a great sense of humour. Nicola & Erin nailed the brief and were so lovely getting us girls ready on the day. The styling and flowers were even better than we imagined and our pictures are stunning. Would recommend over and over again. Thank you SJ.read more

Sarah-Jane and the team at Luxe Elopements have been absolutely amazing. We were supposed to get married on a day when... it was flooding and it was a stressful situation. The team were super flexible and worked with us to get the best possible outcome. We ended up moving the day of the celebration and Sarah-Jane organised it all.

We are not sure where to start... or what to say. Sarah-Jane was absolutely what we needed in our wedding planning... life. From the first phone call, to the goodbye after our elopement and to recently when we received our wedding photos, we cannot fault Sarah-Jane or Luxe elopements. In the lead up to our elopement Sarah-Jane was in contact, reassuring us and easing our nerves, she 100% got the brief on the type of wedding we wanted. Sarah-Jane was a breath of bubbly, kind, professional fresh air on the day and made everything feel so relaxed and easy. We 100% recommend Sarah-Jane and Luxe elopements. Our elopement was everything we had hoped for.read more

We had the absolute pleasure of working with SJ to organise our elopement (more of a small intimate family wedding)... about a month ago and all I can say is absolutely incredible! SJ made all our dreams become a reality (and i know I wasnāt the easiest bride to please thatās for sure), she is so professional, made us feel so reassured and comfortable and answer what seemed like a lot of silly/stressful questions from myself leading up to the big day. She picked out just the right/perfect vendors that seemed liked theyāve knows myself and Jack for years, they nailed the vision. On the day she was just this absolute ball of energy fun and enthusiasm! Things didnāt go to plan on our end because of ridiculous torrential rain so she made sure to give us options and made us feel comfortable that things were going to be absolutely perfect (which they were!). I canāt recommend SJ and her vendors enough, the whole process was just so professional and easy from day 1. Thank you so so much SJ! I wish we could do the day over and over again xxxread more

She was an email & text away throughout the whole planning process, always replying to my questions and being so patient with my indecisiveness like changing our wedding venue and styling last minute.

You two Sarah-Jane and Leisa are absolutely amazing! For what you both organised and did for @Bradley, myself and our... little elopement party was remarkable. Everyone hasnāt stopped talking about it and how amazing you both were. Leisa your officials as being a celebrant to us were just fantastic! You absolutely rocked it! And made it fun, enjoyable and memorable.
Starting from Nicola as our makeup and hairdresser, to You Sarah-Jane our organiser and photographer everything just came together fittingly.
Neither of us had met any of you until the day. And it was just so comfortable when we met you all.
We thank you all and the floristry people for an amazing, exceptional and one beautiful memorable day for us x šš„° We will never forget it x We made the best decision and for once everything went perfectly for us x š

Sarah-Jane went above and beyond our expectation on the day of our wedding and throughout the whole process. She made... everything stress free!
On the day of our wedding she made us feel very relaxed and guided us through each step.
Sarah-Jane was so easy to talk to and gave us exactly what we wanted for our special day.
We are completely blown away by our photographs. Sarah- Jane sent us sooo many sneak peaks which meant a lot to us so we could tell our family and friends back home in England and share our special day with them. Everyoneās reply was how much we look like we were having so much fun! We really were, so thank you Sarah-Jane for capturing that and making it all happen!!
Also thank you so much to SJās assistant Emily, she was so easy to chat with too and she was a big help throughout.read more

We had rescheduled our wedding three times due to COVID and we are so happy we found Luxe Elopements to finally make it... happen. From the very start Sarah-Jane gave us a great impression and was very clear about the options and helped us to select the right package. Sarah-Jane works very hard in the background to pull everything together and takes your guidance on color scheme to create a beautifully styled wedding setting (check out her Instagram!).
Luxe Elopements has AMAZING vendors and staff including Leisa (celebrant), Emily (assistant), Samir (musician), Nicola (hair and makeup) and @_pikt (flowers). They all contributed their expertise to making our day perfect.
On the day Sarah-Jane and her team were super enthusiastic, gave clear instructions and made everyone feel comfortable. Sarah-Jane even spoke to to the weather gods and negotiated a stunning afternoon in between several weeks of constant rain. Sarah-Jane knew the best photo locations and she made us feel very natural and comfortable during the photoshoot. The resulting photos were just spectacular! Overall we had so much fun and the day exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you!read more

I can't thank SJ and the team at Luxe Elopements enough for creating the most magical experience, and beautiful wedding... that my partner and I could ever ask for.
With only two months to plan our wedding, SJ and her team showed tremendous dedication and poured a lot of love into our intimate beach wedding.The process was super easy, and stress free. The price for the quality of service was unbeatable. SJ and her team really listened to our wants and desires for our wedding, and it could not have been more perfect.
Even though 2020 wasn't the year that my husband and I had planned, it ended up being the year for us. This year allowed us to slow down, and focus on what's important to us as a couple, and it lead us to get married sooner than we had planned! This would not have been possible without the wonderful team at Luxe Elopements.
So, if you are ever on the fence about having a big wedding or a small intimate wedding, I 100% recommended a small intimate wedding with Luxe Elopements! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Nick and I can't thank you enough! XXread more

I definitely recommend Sarah Jane if you want an easy stress free wedding planner and wedding day! It was so easy to... organise and I got more than I hoped for. The wedding day there was no issues and everything went so smoothly I didnāt have to worry about anything- it was great! āŗļø
The photos turned out amazing and we got them so quick! We were lucky to have such a talented photographer as my husband and I arenāt really photo people. The photography process was really easy and natural, we werenāt forced to do anything that made us uncomfortable- which we were both appreciative of.
Leisa was amazing! I was super nervous for the ceremony but she made it fantastic! It was casual and humorous and really personalised for us.
The hair, make-up and flower people were also amazing and so lovely! Thank you so much for the wonderful work you girls did!
Thank you all for such a special day! It was more than I could have hoped for āŗļøread more

Sarah Jane has to be the easiest person to work with and can make an absolutely stressful day one you donāt even think... about until the day of the wedding/elopement.
I am the sister of the bride who got married and I was the one who organised the whole elopement. I have worked on events through hospitality and even organised events for the council in my town before and I can say that this was the easiest one by far. Sarah Jane has a very relaxed and can do attitude for everything you want. My sister was easy to organise for because she only wanted something simple and this was just it. My sister and her fiancĆ© absolutely hate photos and told SJ that she only had three photos but boy were they surprised when they had a full photo shoot š all I can say is Sarah did an amazing job at the pictures and they will be able to cherish them forever.
As well as Leisa, you are in the right job because you made the ceremony one to remember with your positive and bubbly attitude, it was a pleasure meeting you!
Also thank you to the rest of the team hair, makeup, flowers etc you all did an amazing job and we canāt thank you enough for making the day happen!
10/10 would recommend this to anyone wanting a low key wedding and doesnāt want much fuss! I know where Iāll be going if by chance one day I get married myself! šread more

2020 has been a rough ride to say the least. We were originally booked in to get married in Tasmania. My father... unfortunately passed away at the start of July, amongst all the drama of COVID and trying to mend a grieving heart we canceled our wedding plans.
About a month later I decided I still needed to follow my heart and get married on my birthday, as my father would have wanted me to. I contacted SJ at Luxe Elopements and we had a chat over the phone, and within about an hour she had everything all lined up for us. She helped us add a videographer and a private chef as we went along. Iām the sort of person who finds any type of event planning extremely stressful and un enjoyable. Honestly I barely had to do anything, just choose my package and send a few styling pictures. Which was absolutely perfect for me, especially during my grief.
On the day it was so easy and stress free. The hair and makeup girl Jacque was amazing, delivered my exact look. My flowers got delivered and they were spot on. SJ and Kirra the videographer came and mapped out the ceremony while I got ready. The celebrant and assistant were all so lovely! It was truly such a breeze, I didnāt feel confused or flustered and I loved that the team just took over and made it all happen. Because thatās exactly what I needed to happen. I barely even had to talk! Which was so perfect for me, I got to enjoy the moment without any worry in the world. (The only thing stressful about my day was taping my boobs into my dress haha!!)
We got out incredible sneak peak photos in less than 24hrs! They are truly breath taking. We canāt wait to see the video and the rest of the photos.
Thank you all so much for making this happen for us š¤šread more

I canāt even begin to describe how amazingly easy and perfect our wedding was thanks to Luxe Elopements.
We purchased... one of the elopement packages for just Jack and I to travel to Byron to elope. Iām a planner by nature so it still amazes me that I felt so confident and at ease with working with Luxe Elopements and that I wasnāt stressing (or micromanaging ļæ½) anything before or on the day. Sarah-Jane organised everything for us. From the celebrant, to location, hair and makeup, to even a beautiful platter for after the ceremony. All the little details turned it into the most amazing day. Even the sparkling she got was non-alcoholic for my pregnancy which showed the thought she put in, very special. This is a true testament to Sarah-Janeās business and herself. All we literally had to do was turn up. This meant it was exactly what we wanted- relaxed, carefree, fun, and perfectly romantic.
Thank you so much for creating a magical day we will never forget. ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½read more
