A Romantic Elopement at Little Cove, Port Douglas
Tiffany and Matt’s elopement was the perfect blend of heartfelt intention, family connection, and fun tropical magic. Set against the natural beauty of Little Cove in Port Douglas, their ceremony was all about becoming one family — officially and symbolically.
With their daughter Charli by their side, they celebrated their love in a way that was deeply personal, lighthearted, and beautifully relaxed.
Their Vision
Tiffany and Matt wanted something simple, romantic and meaningful.
“I just wanted us all to have the same last name — so we matched as a family on paper.”
That sentiment shaped the tone of the day: a laid-back, love-filled celebration focused on connection, joy, and the people who mattered most.
The Setting
Tucked away at Little Cove in Port Douglas, this elopement was surrounded by soft sand, tropical greens, and gentle waves. The ceremony took place under a moody sky with all the magic of the tropics, offering a peaceful and intimate space to say “I do.”
My Role as Their Celebrant
For this one, I got to wear a few hats — celebrant, planner, and full-blown fairy godmother.
From sourcing the perfect location and arranging the ceremony details to supporting Tiffany through all the little decisions (and there were many!), I helped bring it all together in just six weeks. It was a team effort, and it came together so beautifully.
Unique Touches
There were a few standout moments that made this day extra memorable:
-
A sand ceremony where little Charli got to join in, symbolising their new chapter as a united family
-
A ride in a pink Cadillac for a post-ceremony photo tour around Port Douglas with Cool Rides
-
Some spontaneous laughs, some teary vows, and a lot of love
From the Couple
“Ali was beyond anything we could have imagined she would be. From the moment we first messaged her, her communication and presentation were spot on — which is what made us want to go further with her.”
“Her connections in the community are absolutely what you need when trying to plan such an important event in your life. Ali’s personality is so calm and comforting that the minute you speak to her you feel like you’ve known her forever.”
“We started planning our elopement 6 weeks out and without her, 90% of it wouldn’t have happened or come together as smoothly as it did. From helping with planning to helping with my lack of decision-making, Ali was there every step of the way and made it seem effortless.”
“She also made including my 1-year-old daughter (who absolutely adored her) beyond easy, and even helped us on the day to make it that much more magical.”
“If you’re struggling to find someone, just give Ali a call — you won’t need to make any calls after that because you’ll be hooked like we were.”
