Rain, rain go away!

When Katrina and Paul decided to elope on the Gold Coast, they envisioned a relaxed beach wedding surrounded by close family and friends. Like many couples who choose to elope, they loved the idea of the ocean breeze, soft sand underfoot, and the natural beauty that makes a Gold Coast elopement so special.

However, as their wedding day approached, the weather forecast had other ideas. Just one day out from their ceremony, rain was predicted—and rather than stress, Katrina and Paul did exactly what couples who elope Gold Coast do best: they embraced flexibility and trusted the process.

A Seamless Change of Plans

Thanks to having options in place, Katrina and Paul smoothly changed their plans and moved their ceremony to the Broadwater Chapel, welcoming their closest family and friends into a beautiful, sheltered space. This is one of the greatest advantages of choosing the Broadwater Chapel for your wedding—it offers peace of mind without compromising on location or atmosphere.

The chapel provides a stunning backdrop overlooking the Broadwater, so couples still enjoy that sought-after waterfront feel. Best of all, guests remain comfortable and dry if the weather doesn’t cooperate, making it a stress-free experience for everyone involved.

Beach Photos Without the Worry

Even though the ceremony moved indoors, Katrina and Paul didn’t miss out on beach wedding photos. Before the ceremony, they headed to the beach for photographs, capturing those dreamy coastal moments they had always wanted. This flexibility is exactly why so many couples choose to elope to the Gold Coast—you can still have the beauty of the beach without being at the mercy of the weather.

With the Broadwater as a backdrop and the beach close by, Katrina and Paul truly enjoyed the best of both worlds.

Kind Words from Katrina

Katrina later shared her thoughts on her experience and her dealings with Elope to the Coast, reflecting on how easy and reassuring the entire process was—especially when plans needed to change at the last minute. Her words are a wonderful reminder that when you choose to elope on the Gold Coast with the right team, your day can be just as magical, no matter what the forecast says.

If you’re dreaming of an elopement that combines flexibility, beauty, and peace of mind, Katrina and Paul’s day is proof that sometimes a change of plans leads to the perfect outcome. 🌊✨
