Example elopement day timeline

Here’s an example of how your day could run with our base package. Venue hire at Tatt Brat is for a total of 1.5hours and you can choose to use that however you like. Some couples like to get ready at Tatt brat on the second floor and then head outside for couples portraits in the East End. We’ve also had couples hire a nearby hotel or Airbnb to get ready, using the time after the ceremony to celebrate with their guests at the venue.

Why couples love studio elopements

Studio elopements are becoming increasingly popular for couples who want a wedding that feels intentional and stress-free.

Instead of worrying about weather, permits or complicated logistics, a studio elopement provides a beautiful private space where everything is already set up.

For our couples, this means:

  • a relaxed and intimate ceremony

  • fewer moving parts on the day

  • a stylish setting for photographs

  • more time focusing on the experience of getting married

Two hands exchanging wedding rings against a clear blue sky, one hand has a tattoo on the wrist and wears a ring, the other hand has a ring on the finger.

If the idea of a big traditional wedding doesn’t quite feel like you, the Lovefool base package might be the perfect fit.

It’s designed for couples who:

  • want to get married in a creative studio space with a blank-canvas feel

  • love the idea of a stylish indoor ceremony without worrying about the weather

  • want a simple, all-in-one experience with the venue, celebrant and photographer already sorted

  • are planning a Newcastle elopement with just a few close guests

  • would prefer to select their other vendors via a curated local list

Lovefool keeps things relaxed, intimate and a little bit different, so you can focus on the moment rather than the logistics.

Is the Lovefool base package right for you?

Your team

A woman sitting on a white sofa, wearing a white dress and black boots, with red lipstick and blonde wavy hair, in a room with white walls and a unique silver mirror reflecting a plant.

Venue

Tatt Brat is Newcastle's destination tattoo studio. A sun-drenched blank canvas with cathedral windows and white walls that practically beg for good vibes and better company. It’s got just the right mix of grit and glow- perfect for bringing your own flavour to the space. Think natural light, creative energy, and a little rebellious charm tucked behind a humble shopfront. Not your average venue… and that’s exactly the point.

Celebrant

Izzy from Hitched by Hazell will be your authorised marriage celebrant and key point of contact in the lead up and on the day of your elopement. She’ll guide you through the legal process for getting married, offer guidance on writing your vows, deliver a short and sweet ceremony and play host for any guests attending (she’ll even pour them a cheeky glass of champagne while Emily whisks you away to take your portraits)

Photographer

Emily from Solis Stories will be your eyes behind the lens. Her style blends documentary grit with editorial polish, and she works with intention, hustle, and heart to capture photos that feel. She's all about getting stuck in, reading the room, and making sure you get images that are as bold, beautiful, and honest as your day deserves.

Lovefool Elopements make planning your elopement a breeze! From the first interaction right up until the big moment, the ladies guided us and made our dreams of a small and intimate ceremony a reality!

The ceremony was perfect thanks to Izzy, although we opted to not write our own vows, the way she delivered it felt so personal and heartfelt. Our kids were also included which made the ceremony extra special.

Talented photographer Emily captured the day with ease, even amongst our chaos and 3 kids! We are in love with our photos and have so many favourites! There is so much fun and personality in them and we loved how she captured those candid moments aswell.

The venue Tatt Brat is such a gorgeous space, the lighting is stunning and so many different areas for photo opportunities. The ceremony space was the perfect spot for our guests to mingle.

We are so grateful to have found Lovefool Elopements, our day was magical and could not have been any more perfect. We cannot thank them enough!!!
