What makes Wed + Fed 

different?

  • Many elopement ceremony’s will follow a standard script. Not with Wed and Fed! Even our most intimate of ceremonies are fully bespoke, meaning they are written as a true reflection of your love story. No cliches or cookie cutter scripts here.

  • Alan Dawes is the most awarded private chef on The Sunshine Coast. His career in fine dining and Michelin Star restaurants spans 2 decades and his expertise in creating exciting and innovative menus has earned him multiple accolades.

  • Alan Dawes Private Chef creates menus using only the best quality ingredients from across Australia. Every menu features the highly exclusive 2GR Wagyu, and in fact, Alan Dawes Private Chef is the only one north of Brisbane to use this incredible meat! Our vegetables are locally sourced from SEQ farmers and Alan can often be found on trawlers hand picking the best Australian seafood for his seasonal menus.

  • Our packages start from just two people for the most romantic of elopement experiences. We can even provide witnesses.

  • Our elopements aren’t just restricted to mid-week and are available 7 days a week.
