What an elopement at Rivermill is
An Elopement Here Is Still a Real Wedding Day
An elopement at Rivermill isn’t a compromise; it’s a real wedding day, just a shorter and simpler one. You choose your ceremony spot, say your vows, and celebrate with the people closest to you, with no long guest list to manage.
An event coordinator and a planning meeting come with the package, along with floor plans, an itinerary and a supplier list, so even a simple day is a perfectly planned one. Every detail is handled, leaving you free to be present.
The experience
Every Corner Is a Different Backdrop
The riverbank, the timber barn, the eucalypts: every corner of the property offers a unique setting for your photos. Three hours is ample time to explore and use them all.
Make It Uniquely Yours
For something no other album has, add a horse photo session and meet one of our horses in your wedding clothes. It’s a moment that’s unmistakably Rivermill.

Your Elopement Questions, Answered
How long do we have the venue?
Three hours of exclusive use of your ceremony area: time for the ceremony, a toast and photographs around the property.
Can we add food and drinks?
Yes, by arrangement with our team: a toast and platters suit most elopements, and a full reception is available through the Intimate Weddings package.
Do we need a venue tour before booking?
No, though we encourage one. Tours run from 3 PM, the same light your ceremony would have.
How much does it cost to elope?
The package price above covers three hours of exclusive use, your choice of ceremony spot, a coordinator and a planning meeting. Your celebrant, photographer and flowers are yours to choose, which keeps eloping well under the cost of a full wedding day.
Where can we stay the night?
On the estate. The on-site accommodation sleeps eleven across six bedrooms, a short walk from your ceremony spot, and elopers are its favourite guests.
Can our dog be part of the ceremony?
Yes. We are a pet-friendly venue.
