Marriage Celebrant, Emily Hickson
Eloping in Forster
- The perfect escape -
Dreaming of a moment that’s all about you and your love nestled in the serene beauty of nature? Forster, is the ultimate destination for an unforgettable elopement. Nestled between crystal-clear waters and lush rainforest rich hinterlands, Forster offers a breathtaking backdrop for couples seeking an intimate and stress-free way to say “I do.”
You can exchange vows barefoot on a secluded beach, beneath the canopy of palm trees or on a clifftop with panoramic ocean views.
I ensure every moment feels like a secret only the two of you share—fostering a place where your marriage begins against the backdrop of golden sunsets and gentle sea breezes.

Optional Extra's
Witnesses
I can organise a couple of people to come along as your witnesses. We need two people over the age of 18. Keep in mind if you have a photographer they can witness, but I cannot be a witness.
A Photographer
I have some legendary photographer mates. My #1 go to for elopements is Erin from Keep Her Wilde
Your ceremony and moments surrounding will be captured and then Erin will lead a relaxed photo shoot post marriage ceremony.
Florals
I am more than happy to organise some florals. I will approach a local florist that I work with regularly on your behalf, order what you need and bring to the elopement. This can span from a bouquet or two, button holes or even just some loose petals.
Confetti Cannon
A confetti cannon from The Whole Bride. I can even be the one who lets it off – my favourite job.
Music
If music is important to you then I can bring along a small speaker and play some tunes in the right moments for you.
Matting
I have a few options for matting we can stand on to elevate the space.
