WED + FED - CELEBRANT AND PRIVATE CHEF LUXURY ELOPEMENTS

What our couples say

  • Lydia & Justin - March 2025

    Absolutely outstanding! Alan prepared an exquisite 10-course meal with expertly curated wine pairings, and every dish was a masterpiece. We couldn't stop raving about the food that night and the following days. And Sarah kept us calm, grounded and excited despite a cyclone and our parents flying in from interstate, making the whole ceremony feel so personal and heartfelt. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, and we will be recommending you to everyone we know!

  • Casey & Jessie - October 2025

    Even though it was just a small elopement, Sarah made it feel so special and full of love, and the ceremony was so personal, heartfelt and completely us. Having Alan cook was an experience we'll never forget. Every course was exceptional, bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. They turned our wedding dinner into something extraordinary, intimate, memorable, and full of heart. We’ll be forever grateful for the magic they brought to our day.

  • Stacey & Nigel - Sept 2025

    Sarah was the perfect celebrant for our elopement. She is very organised and has the right mix of warmth and humour without being over the top. She made the ceremony feel personal and relaxed and was able to stop and start around our small children causing chaos on the background!

  • Monique & Steve - October 2025

    Sarah is AMAZING. Our guests thought she was an old friend because her service was so personal and the vibes she created were magical. Her communication leading up to the big day put us at ease and we knew we had found a unicorn!

    Alan and his team were absolutely incredible for our wedding. The food was absolutely on point for a six course menu. Faultless!

    His passion and knowledge is infectious and he inspires his guests, not just on the quality and taste of the plates, but on the story behind how they are created.

    I’d recommend him for any event in the future and will definitely be rebooking him very soon.

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.
