Elope in Perth
So You’re Thinking About Eloping in Perth? Here’s the Lowdown.
If you’ve been toying with the idea of ditching the big wedding for something a little more low-key, wildly intentional, and totally you — you’re not alone. Elopements are having a serious moment, and for good reason - even Charlie XCX is onto it.
Gone are the days of eloping being synonymous with secret Vegas weddings or courthouse quickies (although... that vibe still slaps). These days, elopements are a chance to strip things back and create something deeply personal, effortlessly cool, and completely stress-free.
Welcome to eloping in Perth — Cherry Bomb style.
The Pros of Eloping
1. It’s about you.
There’s something beautifully rebellious about saying, “We’re doing this our way.” No production, no politics, just the two of you (plus a couple of witnesses, legally speaking). An elopement puts the focus where it belongs — on your connection.
2. Less stress, more meaning.
Forget spreadsheets, 24-month timelines, and worrying about table settings for your cousin’s gluten-free boyfriend. With elopements, you get to cut through the noise and lean into the stuff that actually matters.
3. Budget-friendly.
Weddings can be expensive — like buy-a-house expensive. Eloping lets you reallocate that budget to the things you really care about: a killer outfit, epic photos, a fancy dinner, or even a spontaneous honeymoon.
4. Freedom to get creative.
Elopements open the door to literally anything. Morning ceremonies followed by brunch and mimosas? Love. Late-night rooftop vows under the stars? Iconic. A glitter-drenched power suit and “WAP” as your walk-in song? We approve.
The (Tiny) Cons
Let’s be real — eloping isn’t for everyone.
If you’ve dreamt of a huge celebration with every friend, cousin, neighbour and plus-one in attendance, a 10-person ceremony might not hit the same.
Some family or friends might feel a little left out (especially if they hear about it via Instagram).
You will still need to sort legal paperwork, book a celebrant, and make it official — but it’s way easier than planning a full wedding, especially through us - literally one click away.
(Hot tip: If you want both vibes — elope now, party later. Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too.)

Where to Elope in Perth
Here’s where we plug ourselves shamelessly — because if you’re eloping in Perth, Cherry Bomb Chapel is the place.
We’ve created a space that’s bold, beautiful, and anything but boring. Located right in the heart of the CBD, our funky af chapel is the perfect backdrop for big love in small doses.
We offer fully-inclusive elopement packages (yes, we handle the legal stuff too), or you can go à la carte and hire the chapel for your own rogue adventure. Think retro interiors, killer photo ops, and a vibe that’s effortlessly cool, and full of quirk.
Other Perth elopement gems? Try a beachside moment, a nature spot in Kings Park, or even the cinema (if this is seriously considered, call me - it’s on my bucket list) The options are endless, but the secret sauce is making it yours.
First Steps to Planning Your Elopement
Choose your vibe. Just you two? A couple of VIPs? Indoors? Outdoors? Sunset? Champagne? Work out your must-haves.
Pick your venue. (Hi, it’s us.) Book your date and lock in the location. Whether it’s Cherry Bomb or somewhere off the beaten track, choose a spot that feels like you.
Sort your celebrant + legalities. You’ll need to submit a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month in advance — so don’t leave it to the last minute.
Find your outfit, photographer, and any extras. No rules here. Wear what you want, document it your way, and plan a little post-elopement celebration if you feel like it.
Tell people — or don’t. Elopements are intimate. You get to decide how public or private you want it to be. It’s your story to tell.
The Verdict?
Eloping in Perth is modern, intimate, and kind of magic.
It’s for the lovers who want less fluff and more real. And if you’re looking for a venue that backs your bold choices, celebrates your quirks, and brings the vibes — we’ve got the chapel, the team, and the champagne on ice.
Let’s make it official. Your way.
