WHERE TO ELOPE IN BROOME

There are countless amazing locations to get married in and around Broome and the Dampier Peninsula. Here are some of my favourites, but remember, the possibilities are endless.

Broome elopement wedding at Cable Beach

CABLE BEACH

Undoubtedly one of Broome’s most popular Cable Beach wedding locations. This 22km stretch of sand is spectacular, especially at golden hour.

REDDELL BEACH

One of my personal favourites. Despite being just ten minutes from the town centre, Reddell Beach is usually very quiet and features amazing red cliffs. A beautiful, intimate spot for an elopement.

JAMES PRICE POINT

Rugged, remote and incredibly beautiful. James Price Point features dramatic red cliffs dropping into turquoise water. Located about an hour north of Broome and accessible by 4WD or helicopter, it’s perfect for adventurous couples wanting a truly off-the-beaten-track elopement location. This is also where the helicopter adventure package lands.
