These days, it seems nothing is safe from cost of living price increases, and weddings are already notorious for inflated price tags (we’ve all heard of the “wedding tax”).

So we thought we’d do our best to help out any cash-strapped Melbourne-based couples who want amazing memories, fantastic photos and a once-in-a-lifetime experience — without the 5-figure price tag that comes with it in the big city. We’ve done the math to compare the costs of the average wedding in Victoria, Australia versus the cost of our elopement packages here at Mountain Path Meadows.

Take a look and judge the comparison for yourself!

Before you know it, you’ve spent more than $20,000 — and no one’s even been fed yet. Yikes!

Don’t panic, though. Let’s take a look at the cost of an elopement to South Australia’s stunning Limestone Coast. Heck — we’ll even include the costs of food and fuel!
